Access to the starting point:
From the Gorenjska highway or Ljubljana bypass, take the Ljubljana - Podutik or Ljubljana - Koseze exit, and then continue to Koseze. In Koseze, turn right off the Podutiška road towards Koseški bajer, near which you can find a suitable parking space.
You can start the route described below wherever the Path of Remembrance and Comradeship passes and then end it there.
Path description:
The circular route of the Path of Remembrance and Comradeship, starting and ending at Koseški bajer, is described below in a clockwise direction. As the route is circular, it can start anywhere along the route.
On the west side of Koseški bajer we see the Path of Remembrance and Comradeship, and we start walking along it north to north-east. After leaving the bayou, the trail mainly continues on asphalt, where at the crossroads you carefully follow the signs of the Path of Remembrance (green and white signboard with the word PATH, with a red star in the O, or floor markings in the asphalt with the word PATH).
After leaving Koseze, you arrive in Šiška, where the orientation becomes a bit more difficult, and after crossing Celovška cesta, the route continues near the northern Ljubljana bypass, where you cross the railway line twice, and then continue past AMZS and Stožice towards Žali, where the orientation becomes easier again. After Žali, in the part of Nové Jarši, you have to follow the ground markings carefully again, and then you arrive at the edge of the bypass, which is well hidden behind a large embankment and an avenue. There is a longer straight stretch on a dirt track, which is typical of the route. When you reach the Airport Road, you are back on tarmac, and then cross the motorway over a bridge to the outer side of the ring road.
The route continues along the motorway, passing through two underpasses, before turning westwards to continue near the Ljubljanica River. When you reach Fužine, continue to the left, crossing the Ljubljanica River over the Fužine Bridge, and then slowly approach Golovec. Follow the Avenue of Remembrance, across fields and meadows to reach the outskirts of Golovec, where the path begins to climb. As you climb up Golovec, you ascend about 150 metres and then start descending towards Rudnik or Galjevica. When you reach the valley, cross the Dolenjska cesta and then continue along the edge of the Ljubljana Marshes on a well-traced path. Cross the Ljubljanica once more near the Livada Inn, and cross the Mali graben a little further on. Then we walk along the edge of Murgeliai, then cross Tržaška cesta at Dolg Bridge (at the time of the description, part of the route via Tržaška cesta was closed and a detour was arranged), then pass the Viška Cemetery, and reach the last part of our route, where the path leads us past Vrhovci and along the edge of the Šišenski hrib Landscape Park to Koseškega bajerje (Koseški bajerje).
The route described is approximately 32. 5 km long. If you are a first-time walker, the route is also relatively difficult to navigate, as it takes you through numerous crossroads and concentrated settlements, where the signs are poor or difficult to see.
