Access to starting point:
First, we drive to Horjul (to here from Dobrova at Ljubljana or Vrhnika), and then we continue driving towards Vrzdenec, Šentjošt and Gorenja vas. At Vrzdenec the road starts ascending steeper, and then a little further it brings us to hairpin turn, in the middle of which road branches off to the left towards Šentjošt and Smrečje. We continue right on the main road, and it soon brings us on a small saddle, at the end of which road branches off to the right towards the village Samotorica. We continue straight, and the road starts steeply descending and after a short descent it brings us to a hamlet Ljubljanica (bottom part of Butajnova), where we come to the next crossroad. We continue left in the direction of Gorenja vas and we follow the road to Suhi Dol, where we park on an appropriate place.
To the starting point, we can come also from the direction Polhov Gradec and Gorenja vas.
Path description:
By the bus stop in Suhi Dol, we will notice signs for Planina, which point us to the right on the road which soon splits into two parts. We continue on the right marked road (both roads higher join), which leads us on a little steeper road, among houses in the village. Above the village, both roads join, and we follow it to the right, where it quickly pass into the forest. Further, we are ascending for some time through the forest and then we pass on panoramic meadows. A short ascent follows and the road brings us to the smaller crossroad, where we have two options to continue.
We can continue on the left road, where after 50 meters we get to the chapel, opposite of which we notice poorly visible and relatively steep grassy cart track, on which we quickly ascend to the church of St. Andrej, or we continue straight past houses and then in the middle of the village we look for a marked cart track which points us sharply left. On the mentioned cart track which at first steeply ascends we quickly get to the church of St. Andrej.
