Path description:
From the bus stop on the south side of the road Litijska cesta, we continue towards the east, and then we go before the first house right on a forest path. Through the forest, we are at first ascending by the fence, after that on a better beaten path. Higher, we reach a wider cart track, on which we can continue, we can also continue on a better beaten footpath which ascends on the nearby 438 meters high hill Luknje.
No matter on which path we continue a little further joins a narrower macadam road which leads past the observatory on Golovec. When we reach the mentioned road, we continue left, after that without large changes in altitude we continue to a crossroad with a wider macadam road which we only cross. After crossing the road, we reach Trail of remembrance and comradeship. We follow the mentioned path to the left, and after few shorter ascents, it brings us on Črni hrib, which we recognize by the monument, bench and trash can.
From the mentioned summit, we descend a little and then signs for Orle, from Trail of remembrance and comradeship point us slightly right. We continue on a gentle forest path, which quickly splits into two parts.
We choose the left upper path (slightly right Orle - path which bypasses the peak of Mazovnik), on which in a minute of additional walking, we get to the top of Mazovnik.
