Access to starting point:
From Horjul or Dobrova we drive to Polhov Gradec, and then we continue driving towards Črni vrh. A little above Polhov Gradec, at the crossroad at the confluence of the rivers Mala and Velika Božna, we continue straight in the direction of Selo and Škofja Loka (left Črni Vrh). Further, we drive by the stream Mala Božna, and after a time we continue right in the direction of village Selo (second turn-off to the right from the spot, when we left the road which leads on Črni Vrh). Further, we drive on a quite steep road which higher flattens, and after a short descent brings us to Selo. Here we continue right (straight St. Ožbolt) and we follow the road only a good 100 meters to the parking lot by the chapel.
To the starting point, we can also come from Škofja Loka. In this case, we drive to Puštal near Škofja Loka, and then we continue driving towards Selo.
Path description:
From the parking lot at the chapel we go on an ascending road in the direction of Selo and Črni Vrh (if we came to the starting point from Polhov Gradec, is this road, on which we drove to the starting point). After a short ascent, the road brings us to the first houses, and then it flattens and in few minutes of additional walking brings us to the farm Ogrinc, in front of which we notice an inscription box. We continue few steps ahead and the road brings us to the smaller crossroad, where we continue left (right Sveti Ožbolt), and we follow the mentioned road only few steps, because signs for Črni Vrh point us to the right on an ascending cart track.
We continue the ascent on a well-marked cart track which at first leads on a panoramic grassy slope, and then continues partly through the forest, and partly over meadows. Eventually, the path slightly descends and it brings us to a marked crossing, where from the right side joins the path from Sveti Ožbolt. We continue left in the direction of Črni Vrh and we continue on a cart track which gradually starts steeply descending. Lower path splits into two parts, and we continue on the road, from which we soon turn right on a cart track or a worse road. Cart track then soon flattens and after few minutes of additional walking brings us to a marked crossing, where we continue in the direction of Črni Vrh - past Ostrež (possible is also to continue over the peak Mlake, the latter is approx. 15 minutes longer). The path ahead for some time leads through the forest and then it brings us out of the forest, where we bypass on the right side abandoned homestead.
The road then returns into the forest, where gradually starts lightly ascending. Higher, we step out of the forest, on a panoramic grassy ridge (here from the right joins the path over the peak Mlake), where we also step on asphalt. Further, we bypass some houses, after that the road starts steeply descending towards smaller saddle. During the descent, the path towards Črni Vrh branches off to the left, and we continue straight and we follow the road to the already mentioned saddle.
On the saddle near the agrotourism Košir, we continue at first straight, and then at the smaller crossroad slightly left in the direction of Pasja ravan. We continue on an ascending road which soon passes into the forest, and we follow it only few minutes, because then by the road we notice signs for Pasja ravan, which point us right on a marked footpath. The mentioned path, which is moderately to steeply ascending through the forest, we then follow all the way to an ample peak.
