Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Koper we go to the exit Vrhnika, and then we continue driving on the old road towards Logatec. When the road starts ascending and turning a little towards the right, we will notice signs for source of Ljubljanica, which point us to the left on the road, on which in few 100 meters we get to the parking lot at the source of Veliki Močilnik.
Path description:
From Močilnik we go on a macadam road which continues by the edge of the forest and a little later by Mala Ljubljanica. After few minutes, we get to a smaller crossroad, where blazes point us to the right in the village Mirke. We continue through the village, and there at the crossroad we go left and we continue on a narrow asphalt road. At the last house, the road ends, and we continue on a wide tourist path, and it quickly brings us to the bridge over Velika Ljubljanica.
After the bridge blazes point us to the right on a relatively steep cart track which is diagonally ascending through the forest. After a short ascent, we step on a macadam road which we follow to the left (unmarked), but we follow it only few steps, and then blazes point us to the right on more overgrown footpath, on which we quickly get to an asphalt road, and it leads into underpass below the highway. After the highway we follow the road good 100 meters more, and then we continue right in the direction of Dolgi tali. We continue the ascent on a cart track which soon splits into two parts (unmarked). We go slightly right and we continue the ascent on a cart track which past NOB monument brings us to the road and only few steps further to the underpass under the railway track.
At the crossroad after the underpass we continue right, and we follow the road also a little further from a sharp the left turn. And after the turn we soon notice blazes, which point us to the right on an ascending footpath which gradually changes into a cart track. We for some time continue the ascent on the mentioned cart track, and then we step on a macadam road which we follow to the right. After a short ascent on the road we get to religious symbol (cross), where we continue right. Only a little further, we again step on the road, and it immediately brings us to a crossroad, where we leave the marked path. We continue on the left upper road which we then follow all the way to Ljubljanski vrh, and we reach it after approximately 40 minutes of additional walking.
