Phliški bajer - Mengeška koča on Gobavica (ridge path)

Access to the starting point:
a) From the motorway Ljubljana - Jesenice, take the exit Vodice and continue driving towards Vodice. At the semaphoreised intersection in Vodice, continue straight ahead and then turn right at the next intersection in the direction of Bukovica pri Vodicah and Utika. Continue past a few hamlets and then the road to Šinkov Turn turns off to the right. Here again, continue straight ahead, then after a few 100 m turn right towards Phliškego bajerje. Park in a suitable place near the lake.
b) First drive to Mengeš, then continue driving towards Komenda. At the end of Mengeš, just after crossing the brook Pšata, turn left onto the local road towards Topole. Before you reach the point, turn left again, this time towards Utik. The local road continues, and we follow it first through a forest and then across a large meadow. Here, one of the marked paths turns off to the left, but as there are no suitable parking places, we drive to the first houses and turn left towards Phliška bajerje. Park in a suitable place near the crossroads or the lake.

Path description:
From the starting point, walk first to Phliška bajerje, then continue to its south-western edge. Here continue left and continue along the lake for a short distance, then the path starts to climb crosswise and just a little higher joins the marked cart track (the track starts near the pass at 342 m - the north-eastern side of the lake), which is followed to the right. Cart track soon leads us to an undistinguished ridge, where it turns sharp left (here we join the path from Šinko Turno). Continue along the path, which climbs relatively gently through the forest. A little higher up, we reach a wide track, and we walk along it a few steps further to a marked crossroads.
At the crossroads, continue left in the direction of Mengeš hut (Dobeno and Rašica to the right) and within a few minutes climb to the indistinct summit of Magarovnik (402 m), followed by a short descent to the saddle between Magarovnik and Marin hrib. Here, the less-visited path from the village of Topole joins us from the left, and we continue straight on, almost imperceptibly climbing Marin Hill (408 m).
From the top, where there is usually a pile of logs, we start descending again. After a short descent, we leave the forest, and before the houses we turn left into the lane of the forest. Here the path climbs steeply for a short time, then lays down and leads us past a meadow with a view to the Mengeš hut on Gobavica.

On the way: Magarovnik (402m), Marin hrib (408m)
