Access to the starting point:
Drive into Ljubljana, preferably to the junction between Roška Street and Streliška Street, then park somewhere nearby. Most of the car parks in the vicinity charge a fee, except on Sundays, when most of them are free.
Path description:
From the starting point, you will first walk to Gruber's footbridge, which is located directly at the junction of Roška Street and Streliška Street. On the other side of the Gruber Canal, you reach Hradecka Street, which you cross carefully at a marked crossing, and then climb steeply up the stairs. Higher up, you reach a steep road, which you climb up past a few more houses, and then you can continue along the road, or slightly to the left, along a parallel forest path. Higher up, the two paths merge, and then follow the road to its end near the Golovec Observatory.
From the end of the road, continue straight ahead on the wide cart track towards the Orle pub. The folded cart track climbs steeply for a short distance, then continues without any major changes in elevation, and gently descends for the most part. A few minutes later, cross a dirt road, and after it reach the Path of Remembrance and Comradeship, which is followed to the left. Follow the trail through the forest, and at the crossroads follow the signs for Orle. After leaving the Path of Remembrance and Comradeship, follow the forest path, which quickly splits into two parts.
Continue along the right-hand path (slightly left at the top of Mazovnik for 1 minute), passing Mazovnik on your right. Soon the path from the top of Mazovnik joins us from the left, and we follow the wider path at the next crossroads. After a short descent, we reach the wider cart track, which we follow to the right, and then retrace the signs for Orle. A little further on, we reach an asphalt road leading to Orle, which we cross and continue to the left, following cart track, which runs slightly to the right of the asphalt road. We soon return to the road, and then follow it for a few minutes to reach the Orle Inn, from which we get some views.
