Access to starting point:
A) Ljubljana bypass we leave the highway at exit Ljubljana - jug, and then we continue driving in the direction of Kočevje. A little after Ribnica, more precisely near Dolenja vas we leave the main road which runs towards Kočevje and we continue driving right towards Gotenica and Kočevska Reka. Soon after we left the main road we notice signs for Rakitnica, which point us right, but here we still continue straight and towards Rakitnica we turn at the next crossroad, where from the main road we turn sharp to the right (here is a sign for Rakitnica only from the opposite side). Further, we drive past few houses, and then we notice a macadam road which from asphalt goes slightly to the left. We go on a macadam road, by which we then park on an appropriate place. At the starting point, there is also an information board for road Rudeževa cesta and mountain signpost for Jelenov žleb.

Path description:
From the starting point, we go on the road Rudeževa cesta, by which we also notice signs for Jelenov žleb. The road quickly goes into the forest, through which it is moderately ascending to the first crossroad. Here we continue slightly right and we still continue in the direction of Jelenov Žleb. The road ahead starts ascending steeply, and at the sharp right turn, from the left joins a marked path from Grčarice and Grčarske Ravne. For few minutes we continue on "main" road, after that in sharp the left turn we continue straight on a little narrower road (turn-off isn't marked). Further, we are gently to moderately ascending on a macadam road which higher turns to the left and changes into a wide cart track. At the spot, where the road becomes a cart track, slightly to the right, or straight (we leave the road on a smaller left turn) marked cart track branches off, which after few meters turns a little more to the right and then it ascends diagonally to other forest road. The mentioned road, we follow to the right, and which already after few meters splits into two parts. This time we continue on the left upper road (bottom road leads towards Zadolje), and we follow it in a gentle to moderate ascent to its end.
Only few meters before the end of the road, marked cart track branches off to the left, on which in approximately 15 minutes we ascend to the next road which we reach right at the monument NOB.
At the monument is marked crossing, where we continue right in the direction of Stene. On the road, we walk only few 10 meters and then signs for Stene point us to the right downwards, where after a minute of additional walking, we get to the inscription box.
From the inscription box, we can on an exposed path descend also to the near vantage point.
From the walls we return to a marked crossing at the monument, and then we continue the ascent on a marked path in the direction of Rezinski vrh. The path ahead steeply ascends on a narrow cart track, and then it flattens and slowly starts vanishing. We continue the ascent on a poorly visible, but well-marked path, which turns a little to the left and it starts steeply ascending towards Rezinski vrh. A little above "wedges" (memorial plaque) path flattens and then in few minutes brings us on a forested Rezinski vrh.
Next follows a short descent to the near forest road which we follow to the right, and we walk there to the spot, where signs for Turn point us to the left on a cart track. Further, we are for a short time ascending on a grassy cart track, and then blazes point us to the left on a steep footpath, on which in few minutes we ascend on Turn.
On the way: Bela stena (1122m), Rezinski vrh (1231m)
