Smrečje - Vrh Svetih Treh Kraljev (via Jereb)

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 the signpost, which marks the end of municipality Vrhnika. Here 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. We follow it through the village and then on one of the smaller parking lots by the road we park.
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. Still before we come in the village Smrečje sharply to the right, the road branches off towards Vrh Svetih Treh Kraljev. We park on one of the parking lots by the road near the crossroad.

Path description:
From the starting point, we continue on the asphalt road which starts moderately descending towards Žiri, and after a short descent it brings us to the marked crossroad, where we continue left upwards in the direction of Vrh Svetih Treh Kraljev. The road then brings us out of the forest, where the road branches off to the left towards Rovte, and we continue straight and we follow the road to the spot, where it returns into the forest. Here we will on the left side notice a marked footpath which is moderately ascending through the forest. Higher, we cross the asphalt road and a little higher we join it.
We continue a gentle ascent on the asphalt road, to which from the right also a marked path from the lake Račevsko jezero joins. Only a little higher, the road splits into two parts, and we continue on the right road in the direction of Vrh Svetih Treh Kraljev and Petrač (the left path is a little shorter). We walk on the road only a short time, and then blazes point us to the left on an ascending and in the upper part quite panoramic cart track. Higher, the cart track flattens and on the left side bypasses farm Jereb. Above the farm, we join the asphalt road, on which in few minutes we walk 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.
