Preval - Stari vrh

Access to starting point:
From Škofja Loka we drive towards Železniki or vice versa, but only to the village Praprotno, where signs for Stari vrh point us to the left (from the direction Železniki after the village Bukovica we continue sharply right) on the road which brings us by the foot of ski center Stari vrh. We continue on the asphalt road which only a little further brings us to a crossroad, where we continue sharply left in the direction of village Zapreval. From Zapreval we continue driving towards the village Javorje, but only to a smaller mountain pass named Preval. Here we notice signs for guesthouse Stari vrh - right, and we continue left, where we park on a parking lot by the road.
Access is possible also from the valley Poljanska dolina.

Path description:
From the starting point, we go on an ascending road in the direction of guesthouse Stari vrh. The road at first gently ascends by the edge of the ski track (in the summer meadow), then crosses a short lane of a forest and then starts ascending steeper. This relatively steep road, from which a nice view opens up on the nearby Lubnik we follow all the way to the mountain hut on Stari vrh.
From the mountain hut, we continue on a cart track which starts at the upper station of six-seater chairlift Stari vrh. Cart track quickly goes into the forest, where it is ascending approximately 20 minutes, and then it brings us to a ski track, which we cross and by which we are then ascending to a log cabin. Near the log cabin, we notice signs for a vantage point, which point us on a forest footpath which at first ascends on a forested Stari vrh, and then starts descending towards the vantage point, where there is also an inscription box.
