Access to starting point:
From Ljubljana, Kranj or Gorenja vas we drive to Škofja Loka and we park on one of the parking lots near the castle Loški grad.
Path description:
From the starting point at first we walk to the castle Loški grad, and then we continue the ascent on a marked and at first still asphalt road. The road soon loses an asphalt covering and brings us on panoramic grassy slopes. With increasingly beautiful view on Lubnik, Škofja Loka and Kamnik Savinja Alps, in few minutes of additional walking, we walk to panorama board on Krancelj.
From the panorama board the road descends to the homestead Grebenar, from where we continue the ascent on a macadam road in the direction of Lubnik. After a short ascent, we step into the forest, where the road changes into a cart track. Next follows few minutes of walking through the forest and then the path descends to the near road which leads from Škofja Loka towards Gabrovo and Breznica.
We reach the road right on zig zag, where there are some parking lots, and we continue right in the direction of the castle Stari grad (straight on the road Lubnik over Gabrovo, straight on a footpath Lubnik over Luža).
We continue on a cart track which crosses slopes towards the right, and then turns to the left and it brings us to a viewpoint on Kamnik Savinja Alps. Next follows a short descent, and then the path turns right through a gully, from which we quickly ascend to a marked crossing. Here we continue right in the direction of the castle Stari grad, to which we have only few minutes of walking.
From the castle we return to a crossing, and then we continue in the direction of Lubnik. The path ahead crosses a clearing, and then passes into the forest, where it turns right and starts ascending steeper. After few minutes, the steepness decreases and we join the path via Luža.
We continue right, and the path brings us out of the forest on a grassy slope, from which a nice view opens up. The path further crosses a short lane of a forest and then it brings us on a wide cart track, on which we walk to the village Gabrovo. Through the village we follow the blazes, and the path at first leads on asphalt, and then also on the macadam road. Above the village path leaves the road and turns slightly to the right in the forest, through which it starts ascending steeply. Higher, the path gradually flattens and eventually joins a wide cart track which marked path few times crosses. Next follows few minutes of walking and the path which is moderately to steeply ascending quickly brings us to the summit of Lubnik.
