Matevljek - Velika Jazbina

Access to the starting point:
a) From the road Ljubljana - Kočevje, at Žlebič, turn onto the road towards Sodražica. Leave the main road at Sodražica and continue in the route Hrib - Loški potok. Continue along the initially ascending and rather winding road, which you follow to the aforementioned place. When the road from Nová vas na Blokah joins us from the right, continue straight ahead, then at the next crossroads turn right in the direction of Srednja vas. Here the road starts to descend more steeply, and we continue straight ahead towards Šegova vas at the next crossroads. At Šegova vas take the road to the left, then pass a few houses and climb up to extensive meadows, through which you reach the hamlet of Matevljek. Above the hamlet, the road loses its asphalt surface and gradually turns into a forest. When you reach a crossroads of several roads, park at a suitable place by the crossroads. Park in such a way as not to interfere with any forestry work.
b) From the motorway Ljubljana - Koper, take the Unec exit, then continue towards Cerknica and on to Nová vas. In Nova vas, at an inconspicuous but still well-marked crossroads, continue straight on the road towards Sodražica, and then after about 1 km of further driving, turn right in the direction of Studenec na Blokah. At the following junctions, follow the road in the direction of Hrib - Loški Potok. When you join the road from Sodražica, continue straight on, then at the next junction turn right in the direction of Srednja vas. Here the road starts to descend more steeply, and we continue straight ahead towards Šegova vas at the next crossroads. At Šegova vas take the road to the left, then pass a few houses and climb up to extensive meadows, through which you reach the hamlet of Matevljek. Above the hamlet, the road loses its asphalt surface and gradually turns into a forest. When you reach a crossroads of several roads, park at a suitable place by the crossroads. Park in such a way as not to interfere with any forestry work.

Path description:
From the junction where you parked, continue along the upper right-hand road (looking in the direction of the access to the starting point), which begins to climb moderately through the forest. Follow the road, along which you may also see some old markings, to the point where the forest ends. Here, bear right on cart track, which returns to the forest. Continue through the rather sparse forest, and cart track quickly leads to the next crossroads, where you continue on the leftmost cart track. Cart track, which continues to climb moderately, leads us only a few minutes higher to a less visible crossroads where a slightly better marked path branches off to the right towards Votla stena and Veliki Jazbina.
Continue along the above-mentioned path, which quickly leads to the nearby hunting lodge.
From the hunting lodge, continue straight ahead, and the path gradually passes into a dense forest, where it turns slightly to the left and leads us under steep rocky cliffs. The path ahead leads us under the cliffs and quickly leads to Votla stena.
From Votla stena continue on the marked path, which then climbs crosswise over a rather steep slope, where the risk of slipping is increased, especially in wet conditions. The path quickly becomes flat and leads to a forest road, which we only cross. On the other side of the road, the path begins to climb, first moderately and then steeply, through the forest. Higher up, the path turns slightly more to the left and leads us to a place where it starts to climb steeply on partly rocky terrain. After a short climb, you reach a ridge, which is slightly exposed in several places, but mostly covered with forest. A few steep rock jumps follow, and the path leads to the scenic peak of Velika Jazbina.
