Access to starting point:
A) We drive to Poljane nad Škofjo Loko, from where from the traffic light crossroad we continue in the direction of the settlement Javorje. When we get to Javorje, from the crossroad after the inn Gostilna Blegoš we continue right in the direction of Jarčje Brdo and Mlaka (left Blegoš and Stari vrh). Next follows diagonal driving towards the right, and when we reach the ridge and a crossroad, where on signs we notice few directions of hiking paths, we park on an appropriate place by the road.
B) We drive into a valley Selška dolina, where at the inn Gostilna pr Birt (Praprotno 17), we leave the main road and we continue driving in the direction of the ski slope Stari vrh. In the settlement Zgornja Luša we go left in the direction of Jarčje Brdo, Krivo Brdo and Mlaka, and in the next crossroad slightly right in the direction of Jarčje Brdo and Mlaka. Further, the road becomes steeper and brings us in Jarčje Brdo and later also to Mlaka. When Mlaka ends, we quickly get to a crossroad, where we go left (right Zapreval and Stari vrh) in the direction of Škofja Loka and Lubnik. When after a shorter diagonal descent we reach the next crossroad, where a road towards the settlement Javorč branches off to the right, and in the direction of straight the road continues towards the settlement Gabrška Gora, we park on an appropriate place by the crossroad.
Path description:
From the starting point Na Poklonu we continue on the road in the direction of the settlement Gabrška Gora and hiking path on Lubnik. The road on which we walk at first on the left side bypasses Božičev grič, and then it brings us on a saddle Predole, where at first from the left joins an unmarked path from the hamlet Podpreval, and few 10 strides ahead the road splits.
We continue on the left road in the direction of Lubnik (slightly right Gabrška Gora), which is then gently to moderately ascending, and meanwhile makes few hairpin turns. Higher, we reach the marked crossing on an area named Vrhovčevo, which is situated at 834 meters above the sea level. At the mentioned crossroad marked path branches off to the right on Gabrška gora, and we continue straight, on the macadam road which on the right side bypasses Vrhovčev grič and Tavčarjev vrh, and then past the abandoned homestead Dolinček brings us on slopes of the peak Pleše, which the road also bypasses on the right side. The road then leads us also past two NOB monuments, and then at the smaller crossroad we continue slightly left in the direction of homestead Pri Zalubnikarju. About 100 meters ahead we get to a small saddle, where we join the path from the settlement Praprotno.
We continue right in the direction of Lubnik, on the path which quickly brings us to other macadam road, on which we continue a gentle ascent in an already known direction towards Lubnik. Macadam road then goes into the forest, where crosses slopes towards the right. A little higher from the right also the marked path from Breznica pod Lubnikom joins, and we continue slightly left on a worse road, partly already cart track. We continue the ascent on a worse and gradually also increasingly steep cart track, and we leave it as well and we continue the ascent on a marked hiking path (because of numerous cart tracks on some spots the orientation is a little harder). Higher from the right few more mountain paths join, and occasionally steeper path, we follow all the way to the top of Lubnik, peak from which a nice view opens up.
The starting point - Vrhovčevo 50 minutes, Vrhovčevo - Lubnik 1:25.
On the way: Predole (695m), Vrhovčevo (834m)
