Ljubljana (Koseze) - Cankarjev vrh (Rožnik) (by road)

Access to the starting point:
a) From the Ljubljana Western Bypass, take the Ljubljana Brdo exit, then continue driving towards the ZOO. Continue along the road Pot za Brdo, then turn left at the traffic lights in the direction of the zoo. After about 1 km of further driving, when you reach the crossroads with the Eternal Route, turn left towards Šiška and the Centre (the zoo on the right). Continue along the Eternal Route, where, opposite the football field, a macadam road turns off to the right and leads to Mostec. Continue along the Eternal Route until you reach a junction with the Eternal Route. Continue straight ahead here, and then after 100 m turn right onto another dirt road, where you park.
b) From the junction of Celovška and Šišenska roads, continue along Šišenska road, then at the junctions continue straight ahead or in the direction of the ZOO. When you reach the Eternal Route, after about 200 m you will come to a pedestrian crossing and a small crossroads. After the crossing on the left is our starting point, but as you are not allowed to turn left off the road here, drive a little further to where the carriageway to Mostec branches off to the left. Turn left here, turn around and follow the Eternal Route back to the pedestrian crossing, where you now turn right onto the gravel road, along which you park.

Path description:
From the starting point, where there is drinking water from a tap, continue straight ahead, first crossing an asphalt path for pedestrians and cyclists and then continuing along a macadam road. There are still some parking opportunities further along the road, but we soon turn right onto a wide sandy path that first gently descends to a small stream. After the stream the path starts to climb a little and then quickly leads us to the recreation park Mostec, where there is a guest house, playground, bowling green, etc.
From the guest house, continue along the road and quickly arrive at the crossroads, from where you continue straight towards Cankarjev vrh. After a short climb, you reach the ski jumps, which you pass on the left. The road leads you to the exit of the ski jumps, from where you can also enjoy a beautiful view of all three ski jumps. Higher up, the road leads past a brick tower, and beyond it you reach a crossroads, from where you continue towards Cankarjev vrh. A little further on, we join the road leading from Tivoli towards Šišenski hrib and Cankarjev vrh, and we follow it to the right. A little further on, the road descends to a crossroads, by the War for Slovenia Memorial. Continue straight ahead, and the road descends for a while. The footpath from Mostec joins us from the right at a lower point, and we continue to follow it towards Cankarjev vrh at all subsequent junctions. In the last part, the road climbs a little more and quickly leads us to the Rožnik Inn, from which we are only a short climb away from the church on Cankarjev vrh.
