Preserje - Sveti Jožef (Mlečnik)

Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Koper we go to the exit Brezovica, and then we continue driving in the direction of Podpeč. In Podpeč, from where also roads from Črna vas and Ig join, we continue right in the direction of Krim, Rakitna and Borovnica. The road towards Borovnica we follow for a short time, and then signs for Rakitna point us to the left upwards on a little narrower and steep road which we then follow to a smaller saddle. On the mentioned saddle we turn left and after 100 meters we park on a marked parking lot.

Path description:
From the parking lot, by which there are mountain signposts for Sveta Ana, Jezero, Podpeč, Krim, Planinica and cave Ledena jama, we return 100 meters back to the main road, and there we continue left towards Preserje and Rakitna. The road which is slightly descending, we follow to the fire station, and right at this spot we leave the main road and we go right on a narrower road which continues by the religious symbol (cross). An asphalt road ascends past few houses, and when the asphalt ends, we will on the left side notice a bad forest road which ascends through a grassy meadow. With a view on Sveta Ana and Krim we ascend to a smaller crossroad, where a cart track branches off sharply to the left to the nearby water storage, and we continue straight on at first barely visible grassy cart track. The cart track quickly brings us into the forest, through which in 3 minutes of additional walking, we ascend on Mlečnik, a peak in the middle of which stands the church of St. Jožef from the 17th century.
