Medvodje - Veliki vrh above Komatevra

Access to the starting point:
From the Ljubljana - Jesenice motorway, take the Podnart (Ljubelj) exit, then continue on the expressway towards Ljubelj and Tržič. When the expressway ends, you will see a petrol station on the right hand side, before which turn right down towards Tržič. Continue through Tržič, and we follow the narrower road towards Dovžana Gorge and then through the villages of Dolina and Jelendol to the hamlet of Medvodje. Here, at the first crossroads, turn right towards Stegovnik waterfall (left Košutna and mountain pasture Dolga njiva), and at the second crossroads, turn left along the Tržiška River Bistrica (right Stegovnik waterfall). Continue ascending gently along the upper reaches of the Tržiška Bistrica, and we follow the road to a marked parking area, where we park.

Path description:
From the parking lot, continue along the gently sloping road that climbs along the Tržiška Bistrica river. Soon you will reach a ramp, after which you will come to an unmarked crossroads. Here, continue along the right-hand road, which begins to climb along the Fevča stream, leaving it at the first sharp right-hand bend. The road, which becomes a little steeper, gives a temporary view of Koschutnikturm, then turns left and crosses the lane of the forest. The road then, with a view of Dobrča and the nearby Stegovnik, leads to the next crossroads, where you continue straight on (the right-hand road ends in the nearby woods). Continue walking along the road and after a few minutes you arrive at the next crossroads. This time continue left (straight ahead is a connecting road leading to the slopes below Konjščica, the right road ends quickly) along a gradually more and more scenic road that crosses the slopes to the left. At the next crossroads, take a sharp right and climb through the forest to the next crossroads, where you continue left. The road then becomes a little steeper and soon leads to a place where the road turns off to the right cart track towards the saddle Pri lojtri, and we continue straight on here and continue along the road. Higher up, the road gradually becomes wider, and then leads to a small undistinguished preval, where the initially slightly wider cart track branches off slightly to the right, after which we continue our ascent. At the first fork cart track, continue right and follow it in a semicircle to the left. A little further on, cart track ends, and we continue our ascent along a wooded ridge, where we come across an old wire fence. We continue to climb along the aforementioned wires, where they lead us along and along the ridge. Higher up, on the left-hand side, we go around a relatively steep headland, and the 'path' even descends a little at this point. The slope then becomes quite steep again, and throughout the climb we follow the familiar old wire fence, along which we climb to the top of the Velika peak.

We recommend: trips from the same starting point, similar trips
