Access to the starting point:
a) From the motorway Ljubljana - Koper take the exit Brezovica, then continue to Dobrova. From the roundabout on Dobrova continue in the direction of Polhovy Gradec, then turn left after 100 m into the centre of the town. Just 10 m further on, turn right onto Emila Adamiča Street, and at all subsequent junctions follow the signs for the primary school, which we park next to.
b) First drive to Horjul, then continue to Dobrova. When you arrive in the above-mentioned place, just after the Church of St. Mary, turn left into the built-up area of the town. Through Dobrova, follow the signs for the primary school, and park next to it.
c) From Polhov Gradec, drive towards Ljubljana, but only as far as Dobrova. At Dobrova turn right towards the centre of the town, then after a few 10 metres turn right onto Emil Adamič Street, and at all the following junctions follow the signs for the primary school, at which we park.
Path description:
From the parking lot at the primary school, follow the narrow asphalt road to the nearby chapel and a small cross. At the chapel, the road turns right, and we continue straight ahead on a footpath that continues along the right side of the chapel. The path initially climbs over a short meadow, and then turns into woods. The ascent continues along a well-trodden but unmarked path, which climbs moderately through the forest. During the ascent, follow the best-maintained path, which crosses several cart track or runs along and along them. At higher altitudes, the path, which has been following a faint ridge all the way, becomes more gentle and for a while switches to a more distinct ridge. After a short, gentle climb, the path climbs moderately again and leads to the forested Jazbina (604 m).
A short descent follows, and then a gentle ascent takes us to the top of Vrhe, which is recognisable by its numerous inscriptions, wishing bell, registration box, table, benches, etc.
