Stara Vrhnika - Koča na Planini nad Vrhniko (via Kuren)

Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Koper we go to the exit Vrhnika, and then at the first traffic light we continue left in the direction of Logatec. On old road towards Logatec we drive only few 10 meters and then signs for Horjul point us to the right. Further, we drive towards Horjul, and we follow the mentioned road to the spot, where signs for Stara Vrhnika point us to the left. We continue driving through the mentioned settlement, and then we quickly get to a crossroad at the fire station. Here we park on an appropriate place by the crossroad.

Path description:
From the crossroad at the fire station, we go straight and we continue on a slightly ascending road which past the church of St. Lenart brings us to a crossroad at NOB monument. Here we continue right and on still ascending road we walk to the upper part of Stara Vrhnika, where by the end of the road mountain signposts for Planina and Kuren point us to the right on a wide mountain path. We continue for some time through the forest and then we twice cross an asphalt road. Only a little higher, we come to a marked crossing, where we continue straight in the direction of Planina (right Kuren 5 minutes). The path ahead leads through the forest, and in doing so it is gently to moderately ascending. Higher, we get very close to the road, and the marked path on this spot turns to the left and for a short time steeply ascends. Only few minutes higher, the marked path entirely flattens and it brings us to a macadam road which leads towards the cottage Zavetišče na Planini nad Vrhniko. We follow the road to the left, and after less than 5 minutes of additional walking brings us to the summit, in the middle of which stands a wooden lookout tower.
Description and pictures refer to a condition in December 2010.
