Medvodje - Medvodnica (via Košutnik)

Access to the starting point:
From the Ljubljana - Jesenice motorway, take the Podnart (Ljubelj) exit, then continue on the expressway towards Ljubelj and Tržič. When the expressway ends, you will see a petrol station on the right hand side, before which turn right down towards Tržič. Continue through Tržič, and we follow the narrower road towards Dovžana Gorge and then through the villages of Dolina and Jelendol to Medvodje, where we park in the marked parking area at the nearby crossroads.

Path description:
From the parking lot, continue along the road on the left in the direction of Koschutnikturm, Dolga njiva and Košutna (Stegovnik waterfall on the right). At first, walk along the marked road, along which the markings are sparse, all the time climbing along the Košutnik stream. When the dirt road turns sharp right and crosses the stream, leave the waymarked path that continues along the stream and continue walking along the road. There is a cross-climb to the right, but when the road turns left and passes the back of Črna peč, leave it and continue right on cart track, which descends gently at first, then begins to climb steeply up the slopes of Medvodnica, and at the crossroads, continue straight ahead and follow the wider logging trail road until you reach a crossroads. When the wider logging trail turns right uphill, continue straight on the older logging trail, and follow it for a few minutes to reach the saddle between Črna peč on the left and Medvodnica on the right.
At the saddle, where you get on the road, continue right on cart track (the road you reach can be used to descend to the starting point, but the roads to the left and right soon end), which starts climbing to the right of the ridge Medvodnica.
A moderate climb follows on cart track, which opens up a nice view towards Košuta a little further ahead, and a little higher still, the ridge Medvodnica is reached, where cart track narrows a little. A few minutes' walk to the end of cart track, and from there a few steps up to the featureless summit of Medvodnica.
