Access to the starting point:
From the Ljubljana - Jesenice motorway, take the Lesce exit and follow the road towards Žirovnica and Jesenice. After a few km of driving, you will come to a crossroads where the road to Žirovnica and Moste turns right (from Jesenice, left). Just a few metres further, at the next crossroads, turn left into Moste (right into Žirovnica). Continue past the memorial to the fallen fighters, where the road starts to climb uphill under the railway line. At the top of the hill, turn right (at the Vila Karin sign) and we continue towards Završniškem jezero and Valvasor's home. The road then bends and leads to a crossroads where the road to Valvasor's home branches off to the left. Here you continue straight on towards Završnice and then park after 100 m in a nicely laid out asphalt parking lot.
Path description:
From the parking lot, take the road to the left, following the signs for Potosko mountain pasture. The road, which initially runs across a meadow, soon enters the forest. The road climbs moderately and takes you over a few crossroads. Everywhere we head in the route Potoška planina (the crossroads are well marked). When the road to Valvasor's house branches off to the right, our (left) road starts to descend a little, but only for a short time. The road, which continues mostly through the wods, has a few more junctions. We are still following it in the route marked by Potosko mountain pasture. When you get to mountain pasture, take the path that descends through the meadow to the hut.
