Obrati Javornik (Slovenski Javornik) - Strana

Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we go to the exit Lipce (Jesenice east), where we drive right towards Jesenice. At the first traffic light crossroad (settlement Slovenski Javornik) we turn right (direction Ljubljana) towards Koroška Bela. At the next crossroad with traffic lights we turn left, and soon after this once again left towards Javorniški Rovt. After a good 20 meters of additional driving, the main road turns right, and we continue straight over the bridge of the stream Javornik, and immediately after this we turn left on a large macadam parking lot.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we return back over a bridge of the stream Javornik, to the first house on the right side of the road. Opposite of it (on the left side) there are two houses between which there is a narrow macadam road. Here we cross the asphalt road and we go on the latter. Already after few steps, the road ascends, and a little higher it gets also an asphalt covering. The steepness quite quickly starts decreasing, and the road which leads past few houses, soon flattens. Here a view opens up on settlement Koroška Bela, and we short time still continue on this gentle and panoramic road past few houses on the left. Soon after the last house (Sončna pot 4), on the left we notice a footpath which is ascending on a forested slope of the hill. Here we leave the road and we continue on this footpath which leads us uphill, and at the same time, it is slightly turning at first to the right, and higher in line with the slope of the hill slightly towards the left. The footpath quickly brings us near the recreation center Kres and the road which comes there from the village. Still before would descend to the latter, at the crossing we continue straight, or slightly left on a cart track which is situated only a few meters higher on our slope. When we step on the cart track, we continue left, slightly uphill. Soon after the cart track starts descending and turning right, on the right side with some attention we get to a footpath which is steeply ascending on the eastern slope of the hill. We leave the cart track and we continue on this footpath which at first in few hairpin turns ascends towards the summit of Strana. When a little higher the steepness decreases, we get to a bench, and then a pleasant and in some parts panoramic path for the last time ascends a little steeper towards the summit of 711 meters high hill Strana.
