Račevsko jezero - Vrh Svetih Treh Kraljev

Access to starting point:
A) From highway Ljubljana - Koper we go to the exit Vrhnika, and then we continue driving on the parallel old road towards Logatec. And we will soon notice signs for Stara Vrhnika, which point us to the right. We follow the road to Stara Vrhnika and forward towards Podlipa and Velika Ligojna. After Stara Vrhnika we leave the main road and we continue left in the direction of Podlipa and Smrečje. After Podlipa the road starts ascending steeper, and higher from the right also the road from Horjul joins. Here we continue slightly left, and we follow an occasionally little narrower road to Smrečje. The road then starts descending, and we follow it to a crossroad, where a road towards Lavrovec branches off to the right. We park on an appropriate place by the road
b) From Horjul past Vrzdenec we drive towards Gorenja vas. In the first sharp right turn, the road branches off to the left towards the village Šentjošt nad Horjulom. We go on this road and we follow it to the next crossroad, where we turn right (left downwards Vrhnika). The road then soon brings us to the village Smrečje. The road then starts descending, and we follow it to a crossroad, where a road towards Lavrovec branches off to the right. We park on an appropriate place by the road
c) From Škofja Loka on a regional road we drive to Žiri, and from there we go on the road which goes along the river Račeva upwards in the direction of village Smrečje and Žirovski Vrh. We follow the road ahead in the direction of Smrečje and Vrh Svetih Treh Kraljev. A little before we get to the lake Račevsko jezero, we will get to a crossroad, where a road branches off to the left towards the village Lavrovec. We park on an appropriate place by the crossroad.

Path description:
From the crossroad, we go on a marked path which continues towards the south (the opposite side of the road which leads on Lavrovec). The marked path immediately over a small bridge crosses a smaller stream and behind it turns right in the forest, through which it starts ascending steeper. Higher, the path makes a sharp left turn and then joins a little wider cart track. We for some time continue the ascent on the mentioned cart track, and then we step on an asphalt road which we follow to the right. Only a little higher, the road splits into two parts, and we continue on the left (right Vrh Svetih Treh Kraljev past Petač), which quickly brings us to a smaller hamlet in the village. We walk past houses, and the road quickly brings us to a boules court, where from the left also a marked path from Rovte joins. We continue right and past the Rupnik Line in a minute of additional walking, we get to the mountain hut on Vrh Svetih Treh Kraljev.
From the mountain hut, we continue on a marked hiking path which starts ascending steeply through a thinner forest. The path then flattens and it brings us on an asphalt road, on which in few minutes of additional walking, we get to a panoramic peak.
