Access to the starting point:
From the Ljubljana - Novo Mesto motorway, take the Ivančna Gorica exit and then continue towards Stična. After Stična, the road leads through Mekinje above Stična to Metnaj. At several crossroads follow the signs for Obolno, and we follow the asphalt road to a small pass, where a path branches off to the right to a nearby hunting lodge, the road continues straight ahead to the settlement Debeče, and to the left the road leads to the settlements of Goričica, Poljane and Obolno. Park in a suitable place at the crossroads.
Path description:
From the starting point, continue along the ascending road in the direction of Goričice, Poljan and Obolne. After a short steep climb, the road is laid and leads us to a scenic hayfield, from where a beautiful view opens up to the south. Here the road turns slightly to the right and leads us past a few houses. Behind the houses, at a small crossroads, we continue to the right, following the road, which begins to descend gently a little further on. After a short descent, the road branches off to the left towards the settlement of Poljane, and we continue straight on in the direction of Obolne. From here we continue along the main road for a short distance, and then the signs for Plate direct us slightly left onto a macadam road which, like the asphalt road, continues through the forest. Continue along the forest road, which soon leads out of the forest into a grassy valley between Veliki vrh (759 m) on the left and Obolno (776 m) on the right. After a few minutes of walking, the path leads to the Platar farm, after which the road turns left. At the part where the road turns left, the signs for Obolno direct us right into the woods on a marked footpath. The path continues through lane of bushes and is, at least initially, quite overgrown. We quickly reach the old cart track, where we see the next marking, and cart track quickly leads us onto a large hayfield, where it is initially possible to follow a track along the left edge, but it soon disappears.
You can continue through the forest, where there is a marked but less traceable path (some fallen trees after the 2014 ice storm), or along the left edge of the increasingly scenic hayfield (a less traceable path also runs along the right side of the hayfield). Higher up, the forest ends on the left, and we join a slightly more beaten track leading from Trebeljevje and Leskovec.
Follow the path to the right, and in a few minutes, with beautiful views of the surrounding hills, you will reach the summit.
From the top, you can descend in a few minutes to the Obolno Agritourism Centre.
