Jesenice (Ukova) - Kalvarija above Jesenice

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 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 the left and the road on the 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 you will 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 gradient eases, you will see a small rise (Kalvarija) on the right, and a signpost on a tree "Chapel". Turn right uphill and you will immediately reach the top of the hill, where there is a wooden chapel and a bench.
