Access to starting point:
First, we drive to Horjul (to here from Dobrova or Vrhnika), and then we continue driving towards Vrzdenec and Gorenja vas. In the first sharp left turn, after the village Vrzdenec, we will notice narrow asphalt road which from the main branches off to the right. We go on this road which after a shorter steep ascent brings us to the church of St. Kancian above Vrzdenec. We park on one of the parking lots near the church.
Path description:
Only a little further from the church, by the end of the road, we will notice hiking signposts, which point us on a cart track in the direction of Kožljek (we don't continue right in the direction of Koreno). Cart track, which starts ascending by the stream, already after a minute of walking, it brings us to an unmarked crossing.
We continue right on the second cart track (first to the right is quite overgrown, and the left one vanishes), which immediately after we crossed the stream turns right and then it is ascending on its right bank. After a short ascent, the cart track turns sharply left and gradually starts going away from the stream. Ahead blazes become more frequent, and the path soon brings us to a marked crossing, where we continue right in the direction of Samotorica (left Pri Hlipč). We still continue the ascent on a cart track which higher brings us out of the forest on panoramic grassy slopes. We continue the ascent on a wider cart track which past the hunting observatory brings us to the church of St. Mihael on Samotorica.
At the church, we step on the road which we follow to the right, and it quickly brings us to a marked crossroad. We continue straight in the direction of Koreno (left Kožljek, right Horjul) on the road which is gently ascending by the edge of the forest. After few minutes of additional walking on the road, we notice the blazes, which point us to the right on a footpath. The marked path, which ahead runs on a cart track, immediately after the cross turns a little to the left and starts slightly descending. Cart track soon passes out of the forest on grassy slopes, on which in few shorter ascents and descents we get to the village Koreno, where we step on an asphalt road. We then follow a well-marked road to agrotourism pr'Lenart, here blazes point us to the left on a narrow road on which we ascend to the church of St. Mohor and Fortunat. From the church, we continue on a poorly visible path, which past a large cross brings us to the vantage point on which stands panorama board and below it an inscription box.
