Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we go to the exit Podnart (Ljubelj), and then we continue driving on the road towards Ljubelj and Tržič. When "fast road" ends (blue sign), we will on the right side notice gas station, in front of which we turn right downwards towards Tržič. Further, we drive through Tržič, and we follow the narrower road towards the gorge Dovžanova soteska and then through the village Dolina and Jelendol to Medvodje, where we park on a marked parking lot by the nearby crossroad.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue on the left road in the direction of Košutnikov turn, Dolga njiva and Košutna (right - waterfall Stegovniški slap). We first walk on a marked road, by which the blazes are rare, and we are all the time ascending by the stream Košutnik. When the macadam road turns sharply right and crosses a stream, we leave it and we continue straight on a marked path, by which the blazes are more frequent. Few minutes we are still ascending by the stream and then the path turns left and steeply ascends to an older cart track which we follow to the right. On the cart track, we are mainly ascending diagonally, and then the path splits.
Slightly to the right, closer to the stream continues a marked path, and we continue on an unmarked cart track which few minutes higher brings us to the road Košutna - Planina Šija.
We follow the road to the left (right Košutna) and there we cross the slopes towards the left. A little further, the road starts considerably ascending, and on northwestern slopes of Penatca, it turns sharply to the right. Next follows some more of a diagonal ascent, and then we get to a small saddle and a crossing northwest of Penatca.
At the crossing, we leave the wider macadam road and we continue left on a narrower road, from which after few 10 strides we go left on a cart track which starts ascending diagonally. Next follows an ascent on a cart track, and at the smaller crossing, we go straight and then follows an ascent on a panoramic slope. When the cart track ends, we step into the forest and after few steps, we reach the peak of Penatca.
