Access to starting point:
A) From Ljubljana ring road or highway Jesenice - Ljubljana we go to the exit Ljubljana - Podutik, and then we continue driving towards Podutik and later Dobrova and Polhov Gradec. Still before the road starts considerably ascending towards the mountain pass Preval, we get to bus turning point in Podutik. We park at the end of the bus stop on an appropriate place by NOB monument (on a bus stop is prohibited to park).
B) From highway Ljubljana - Koper we go to the exit Brezovica, and then we continue driving in the direction of Dobrova and Polhov Gradec. At the end of Dobrova signs for Šentvid point us to the right on a narrower road, on which we continue driving. Further, the road leads through Stranska vas, behind which it starts ascending towards the saddle. From the saddle, we continue straight downwards and we descend to the final bus stop in Podutik. We park at the beginning of the bus stop on an appropriate place by NOB monument (on a bus stop is prohibited to park).
C) To the starting point, we can get to also with a city bus LPP number 5 and N5, namely by steping out on a final station in Podutik.
Path description:
On the cabin of the nearby toilet, which is situated directly by the bus stop, we notice the blazes, which point us on a meadow, through which we start ascending towards the south. After a short ascent, we get to the edge of the forest, where we continue right into the forest. In the forest, the path several times splits, and we all the time follow the blazes. A moderately steep path, which mostly runs on forest cart tracks is then more and more turning to the right. After approximately 15 minutes of ascent, the path flattens or starts gradually descending towards the saddle Preval, which we quickly reach.
On the saddle Preval we cross the main road Dobrova - Podutik and we continue the ascent on a little narrower road in the direction of Toško Čelo. For a short time, we are ascending above the quarry, and then we get to some sort of unregulated parking lot, by the NOB monument. Here we leave the road and we continue the ascent slightly right in the forest through which we start at first gently ascending. The path at first continues parallel with an asphalt road, and then turns a little more to the right and it ascends a little steeper. Higher, we cross a road, and then only a little further we join it. We follow the road to the left, and we walk there to the left turn, and from there straight on for some time steeper footpath which soon gets very close to the road. We continue right at first on an indistinct ridge, on a path which continues through the forest. The path ahead crosses the edge of a meadow, after which we get to the hunting cottage on Toško Čelo.
