Jesenice (Ukova) - Jelenkamen (via Kalvarija)

Access to the starting point:
From the motorway Ljubljana - Jesenice take the exit Lipce, where you turn right towards Jesenice. In the village of Javornik, turn left at the junction with the traffic lights towards the town centre. At the second traffic-lighted junction (by the gymnasium), turn right back towards Tomšičeva cesta, passing the primary school on the left. After the school, cross the pedestrian crossing and immediately turn into the first (narrower) street on the left. After going up it for 10 metres, you will see a marked parking area on the right. This is our starting point.

Path description:
From the parking lot, continue along the road uphill, and after 10 m you will see the Ukova summer bathing site on your left and the road on your right, which branches off uphill to the north into the forest.
Take the latter and follow it for a short distance, i. e. to the right-hand bend before which there is a fenced water reservoir on the same side. On the other - left - side, take the path that intersects the double curve of the road you have left. Here you will come across the first markings. Cross the road again quickly and take the path which starts to climb northwards. As it starts to turn left, it joins cart track, at which point we see a signpost. Here, turn right along cart track, which quickly leads to the first small bridge (the Ukova stream), over which you immediately reach the second one. After this, the path or cart track goes right uphill and then increasingly left in an easterly direction. There follows some time climbing up and along the winding cart track, keeping to the main - left - path all the time. When the incline eases, you will see a signpost on the right "Chapel" and a small rise called Kalvarija, on which there is a chapel and a bench. We continue straight on along cart track, which turns into a path turning left. After some 10 m you will come across a small water reservoir and the sign "Pristava". Cross the (often dry) stream here and turn right to the east (left - steeply uphill to the north, the path passes through Dole). Soon the path reaches a short ridge where it turns left. After climbing for a few minutes more, you come out of the forest to a partial view of the valley, but it doesn't last long. When you see a bench on the left, the path turns sharp left (almost back to the north-west) and climbs only moderately. Soon, however, the markings direct us uphill, straight north and then increasingly right to the east, and we reach the first viewpoint towards the Ljubljana basin (the ridge).
From here the path goes left uphill and then right again towards the second (main) viewpoint, which is located 50 m to the right of the marked path on the rocks with a bench. From this ridge, the path climbs steadily uphill to the left, heading north, and soon you will come across the first steel cable. After 20 m of the guarded path, the steepness first eases and then the path climbs one last time towards the summit, which can be reached in a few minutes.
