Access to starting point:
From Dobrova or Horjul we drive to Polhov Gradec, and there at the crossroad at the bus stop we continue slightly left in the direction of Gorenja vas. From the bus stop, we drive for approximately 300 meters and then at the smaller crossroad before the fire station we go left and we continue driving to the near chapel.
Path description:
From the chapel we continue on a marked road which over a bridge brings us to a hamlet with few houses.
Among houses we notice a cart track which ascends steeply, and then it quickly brings us to the spot, where blazes point us to the left on partly overgrown footpath. Higher, we return on a cart track and further we follow it to the spot, where it brings us out of the forest. We continue by the edge of the forest and after few minutes of walking, we find ourselves on a wide cart track which past the transmitter brings us to a village. At first or last house we continue slightly left and on the road we descend to the next houses, and there at the power line pole we continue right on a wide cart track. After few minutes of easy walking we get to other part of the village, where we again step on an asphalt road, and after a short descent it brings us to the marked crossroad. We continue right in the direction of Koreno and Ključ, on still asphalt road, and at the "last" house it also ends.
Right from the house we notice a cart track on which we continue an ascent through the forest. The path through the forest leads us past numerous smaller crossings, but even though blazes are occasionally quite rare and old, they are placed on the right spots, so with the orientation there aren't any bigger problems. Higher, we cross panoramic grassy slope, and then the path returns into the forest, where it brings us to a smaller log cabin. Here we go right and we continue the ascent on a forest path, which passes on the ridge of Debeli hrib. After few minutes of additional walking, we get to religious symbol, where the path splits into two parts. We continue on the right upper path (left path bypasses the peak Visoki hrib) on which in few minutes of additional walking, we ascend on the already mentioned peak.
