Poljana - Smolnik

Access to the starting point:
From the motorway Ljubljana - Jesenice, take the exit Lesce, where at the roundabout take the old road in the direction of Žirovnice and Jesenice. After a few km of driving, pass the crossroads where the road to Žirovnica branches off to the right. After crossing the Završnica viaduct, you will see a turn-off on the right, which you should take (turn sharp right). Immediately you will come to a small crossroads where you turn left, and in the next one (after about 50 m) turn right, in the direction of Završnica. After a short descent, the road climbs slightly for a while, then flattens out and leads to a place where a macadam road branches off to the left towards Valvasor's house. Park here, nearby.

Path description:
From the parking lot, turn left onto the macadam road leading to Valvasor's house and follow it for 5 minutes, then on the left side of the road you will come across a gate (gate) of a pasture fence, which the marked trail crosses at this point. Bear left across the pasture, where you will soon cross the Rečica stream, and continue west across the meadow into the forest. Here the dirt track climbs quite steeply at first for a short time, then, as it levels out, we come across a signpost pointing us to the right onto a slightly narrower sandy track, which soon afterwards turns left to the north. The path widens again and takes on the appearance of an old, hard-packed, stone cart track or logging trail. After about 45 min. walk it leads to a road, on which continue left, in the route Potoška planina (direction sign) for another 5 min. When you come to a slightly bigger right turn, you will see two small yellow signs on both sides of the road "beware of power cable". Here, on the left, look for a forest track, leave the road, and follow the path slightly downhill to a wide ridge, which quickly leads to the bottom of the Smolnik peak. There are a few steps of ascent to the open grassy summit, where there are two large benches in a sunny position.

We can extend the trip to the following destinations: Valvasorjev dom pod Stolom ( 5 min)
