At the crossroad at the beginning of Sora, immediately behind the small bridge we turn left in the direction of Katarina and village Trnovec. Further, we drive through the valley of Ločnica towards Katarina (Topol). Higher, the road rises above the mentioned valley and it brings us to the beginning of the village Topole, where we park on a large parking lot by the primary school.
B) First, we drive to Škofja Loka, from there we continue driving towards Sora. At the end of the Sora we turn right in the direction of Katarina and village Trnovec. Further, we drive through the valley of Ločnica towards Katarina (Topol). Higher, the road rises above the mentioned valley and it brings us to the beginning of the village Topole, where we park on a large parking lot by the primary school.

Further, we drive through the valley of Gradaščica, and the main road towards Polhov Gradec we follow to a smaller crossroad, where a road towards villages Osredek, Topol (Katarina) and Belo branches off to the right (turn-off from the main road is located little before the beginning of the village Hrastenice). When we get to the village Topole at first road towards the village Belo branches off sharply to the left, and a little further signs for Medvode point us slightly to the left, on the road which gradually starts descending. Before the road starts steeply descending towards the valley of Ločnica, we get to primary school, where we park on a large parking lot.

Path description:
On map TD Katarina, which is situated by the edge of the parking lot, we notice signs for Sveti Jakob and farm Pr Mamovc, which point us on a narrower asphalt road which with nice views ascends past few houses and the mentioned farm. After few minutes, we get to a smaller crossing, from where we continue in the direction of Sveti Jakob and Rog. Asphalt road then ascends through one more meadow, and then passes to the edge of the forest, where the asphalt ends. When we come into a dense forest, we leave the macadam road and we continue on a forest footpath which starts ascending diagonally towards the left. After few minutes of a diagonal ascent, we step on a narrower macadam road which we follow to the left (right a homestead Na Vihri).
The path ahead few minutes leads on a narrower macadam road, and we walk there to the hamlet Brezovica pri Medvodah (at one of the homesteads there is years ago renovated well Porentov vodnjak).
The marked path hamlet bypasses on the right side, and then continues on a wide cart track, from which a nice view opens up on our destination and in good weather also on Kamnik Savinja Alps and Posavsko hribovje. On the other side of panoramic meadow path gets closer to the forest, where joins the path from Sora and Preska. Here as well, we continue left, on a cart track we walk only few 10 strides, because then blazes lead right on a relatively steep path which continues by the edge of the forest (even if we continue on a cart track we will come to the summit). During the ascent a nice view opens up towards Polhograjska Grmada, and from the summit, which we reach after few minutes also towards other peaks of Polhograjsko hribovje.
