Access to starting point:
A) From the center of Ljubljana we drive on the road Celovška cesta, and we are driving there to Šentvid. Here at the crossroad near the Šentvid church we turn left towards the road Cesta v Hrib and street Šentviška ulica. Immediately after the crossroad, we notice the signs for Toško Čelo, which point us to the right. At the starting point, there aren't any appropriate parking spots.
B) We leave Gorenjska highway at the tunnel Šentvid (from Ljubljana the exit also isn't possible yet - March 2011), and then we continue towards the center of Ljubljana. We soon come on a bigger crossroad, where we turn right towards the road Cesta v Hrib and street Šentviška ulica. Immediately after the crossroad, we notice the signs for Toško Čelo, which point us to the right. At the starting point, there aren't any appropriate parking spots.
C) With a city bus LPP (number 1, 8 and 25). In this case, we exit the bus at the bus stop Šentvid.
Path description:
At the starting point caption on a concrete retaining wall points us right on an ascending road which soon turns sharply to the left. Immediately after the turn, worse road branches off to the right, which leads on Toško Čelo (nearby are also hiking signposts). We continue the ascent on a worse macadam road which ascends above Šentvid tunnel, and right above the entrance into a tunnel it turns left. Next follows few minutes of walking on the road, and then at the spot, where the road turns right, blazes point us straight on a marked cart track, or a footpath which is ascending parallel with the cart track. After a short ascent, the path flattens and it brings us to a religious symbol and benches. We for quite some time continue on a cart track, and at the crossings we carefully follow the blazes, that we don't go astray from the right path. A little higher on the left side we bypass the peak Velika Trata, and the path only a little further brings us on a small saddle between the already mentioned peak and Črni vrh. On the saddle a cart track turns a little to the right, and then blazes point us to the left on for a short time steeper footpath. The footpath higher returns on a cart track, and it splits into two parts. We continue on the left in the direction of Toško Čelo, and the path ahead leads partly on a cart track, and partly on a footpath. Higher, the path for some time steeply ascends, and then it brings us out of the forest, where we step on an asphalt road. Here the path entirely flattens, and we walk on the road to the nearby crossroad. From the crossroad, we continue left (right Katarina) and after a short descent, we get to the hunting lodge on Toško Čelo.
