Hrib-Loški Potok - Koča na Kamnem griču

Access to the starting point:
From Sodražica, Nová vas na Blokah or Loška dolina, drive to Hrib-Loški Potok, where you can park in the marked parking lot in the middle of the village, opposite the Cultural and Tourist Centre.
The starting point can also be reached from Stari Kot and Draga.

Path description:
From the parking lot, continue along the road that climbs above the main road, then a little higher up at the crossroads, turn left and walk to the crossroads where the chapel is located. At the chapel, go right and then continue straight ahead at several small junctions. Higher up, the road is laid and leads past a few more houses, and then, after a sign marking the end of the settlement, continue slightly left along the road towards Kamný hill and Travna Gora. The road continues on a slightly further path gradually begins to descend, then leads us to a place where the path splits into two parts. You can continue along the marked road (markings are rare), or turn left onto cart track, which follows a fairly long (about 3 km) U-turn. It is better to continue on the approximately half shorter cart track, where the orientation is a bit more difficult, but if you follow the northern or north-eastern directions at the crossroads, you will reach the road close to the marked crossroads.
If you have chosen to walk along cart track, then when you reach the road continue right, and then after a few 10 metres turn slightly left, otherwise sharp right, off the road onto the marked cart track in the route Koča na Kamnem griču.
From the point where you leave the road, continue in the route Koča na Kamnem griču, and the marker can be seen on a tree by the roadside a few 10 paces west of the start of cart track. Cart track first climbs gently into lane woodland, then continues without significant change in elevation, partly through woodland and partly across mown meadows. Then cart track starts to climb moderately, and higher up leads to a meadow, where the track disappears. Continue straight up here, and when you re-enter the woods, the track reappears. Before entering the forest, it is worth turning back, as a beautiful view opens up, reaching all the way to Snežnik. In the forest, besides the markings, you will also see the KG (Kamni grič) sign, which confirms that you are on the right path. When we leave the forest again, we arrive at the next hayfield, where the path turns left again. There is a moderate climb, and then the path returns to the forest, where it leads through a short lane, where the path is slightly more overgrown, but easy to follow. After this part there is a short descent before reaching the wider cart track and a marked crossroads. From the crossroads continue straight in the route Koča na Kamnem griču to which you have 5 minutes of moderate ascent on a mostly grassy slope.
From the hut you can climb a few steps to the nearby summit, which offers a beautiful view that reaches all the way to the Alps.
