Preval - Stari vrh

Access to the starting point:
From Škofja Loka drive towards Železniki or vice versa, but only as far as the village of Praprotno, where the signs for Stari vrh direct you left (from Železniki, after the village of Bukovica, continue sharp right) onto the road that leads you to the base of the Stari vrh ski centre. Continue along the asphalted road, which leads us only slightly further to a crossroads where we continue sharp left in the direction of the village of Zapreval. From Zapreval, continue driving towards the village of Javorje, but only as far as a small pass called Preval. Here we see the signs for the guest house Stari vrh - to the right, and we continue to the left, where we park in a roadside parking lot.
It is also possible to access the road from the Poljanska valley.

Path description:
From the starting point, take the ascending road in the direction of Guesthouse Stari vrh. The road first climbs gently along the edge of the ski slope (meadow in summer), then crosses a short lane of forest and then begins to climb steeply. Follow this relatively steep road, which opens up a fine view of the nearby Lubnik, all the way to the hut at Staré vrh.
From the hut, follow the cart track starting at the top station of the Stari vrh six-seater. Cart track goes quickly into the forest, where it climbs for about 20 minutes, and then leads to a ski slope, which is crossed and then climbed along to the hut. Near the hut you will see signs for a lookout point, which direct you to a forest path that first climbs to a woded Stari vrh and then begins to descend towards the lookout point, where there is also a registration box.
