A) From highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we go to the exit Ljubljana - Šmartno, and then we continue driving towards Šmartno. In Šmartno we turn right towards Vodice, and on the main road towards Vodice we drive few kilometers, and then just before the beginning of the settlement Skaručna we turn right in the direction of the settlement Vojsko and Selo pri Vodicah. On the main road we drive by Skaručna Basin, and then still before the beginning of the settlement Selo pri Vodicah we notice signs for ski club Smučarsko društvo Strahovica, which point us to the right on a local road. Further, we drive through the village, and we follow the road to the parking lot by the foot of the ski jumping hills.

Before we get to the mentioned settlement, we again continue left, this time towards Utik. Further, we drive on a local road, and we are driving there to a hamlet Koseze, where we turn left in the direction of Selo pri Vodicah.

Path description:
At the beginning of the parking lot, we notice a beaten footpath and next to it faded blazes, which lead in the forest. On the footpath we at first moderately ascend, and then we get to a forest road which we follow to the right. The road quickly brings us to the ski jumping hill, from where for some time a view opens up a little. We quickly return in the forest and we continue the ascent on a gently to occasionally moderately steep road, on which we walk to a longer right turn, in the middle of which a wide cart track branches off to the left and by which there is a memorial plaque. From the mentioned turn, we continue on the road, and from there after approximately 50 meters to the left "old path" on Rašica branches off. The road is then for some time still ascending diagonally towards the right, and then it brings us to a crossroad, where we continue left (straight Povodje and Šmarna gora). Next follows a minute of walking and we get to the next crossroad, where we again continue left (straight footpath on Rašica, right village Rašica and Gameljne).
From the second crossroad ahead, the worse road starts ascending steeper, and after 10 minutes of additional walking brings us to the mountain hut on Rašica.
From the hut, we continue on the wide path, which after few additional strides of gentle walking it brings us on peak Vrh Staneta Kosca on which there is a lookout tower.
