Access to the starting point:
From the Ljubljana - Koper motorway, take the Vrhnika exit and then continue along the old road towards Logatec. At the last traffic light on Vrhnika, which you can recognise by the bank and pharmacy nearby, turn right, and then follow the road towards Stary Malno at the next junctions. The road then leads past Kurje village and loses its asphalt surface. When you see signs for Blatni dol, Gačnik and Star maln, park in a suitable place along the road.
Path description:
At the starting point we see the signs for Blatni dol, which direct us to the right to the wide ascending cart track. After a good 10 minutes' climb, you reach a marked crossroads at the edge of Blatní dol, where you continue right in the route Mountain pasture (straight Star maln) and continue your climb on the wide cart track. Higher up, two power lines are crossed, and the path splits into two parts just a little further on.
Continue along the right-hand path in the direction of Mountain pasture (on the left continue along cart track Zaplana), and continue the ascent along a slightly steeper footpath which continues to climb through the dense forest. At a higher altitude, cross the fainter cart track, then join the path with Vrhnika past Bukva. Continue along the wider mountain path, which takes a few minutes of further walking to reach the shelter at Mountain pasture above Vrhnika, by which there is a good 20 m high lookout tower.
