Rakovica - Špičasti hrib

Access to the starting point:
a) From Ljubljana, take the old road to Kranj, then follow the main road to the bridge over the Sava River. Just before the bridge, we leave the main road and continue straight ahead towards Besnice. Continue to the village of Rakovica, where you can park in a suitable space next to the bus stop.
b) From Jesenice or Bled, take the motorway towards Ljubljana and follow it to the Kranj - West exit. Continue along the old regional road towards Ljubljana, and we follow it to Kranj, where we turn right towards Besnice, just after the bridge over the Sava River. Continue to the village of Rakovica, where you can park in a suitable space next to the bus stop.

Path description:
From the parking lot next to the bus station, follow the asphalt road towards Zabukovje village. The road soon turns right into the forest, where it climbs moderately and leads to a small crossroads, where you continue left in the direction of Sveti Jošto. Continue along the road for some time, observing some individual markings along the way, and then pass a few houses and a small well, leading to an unmarked crossroads. Here we continue along the left "main" road, which leads us only a few 10 steps higher to a small hamlet where the markings direct us right between two houses. Leave the road behind the two houses and continue the ascent to the left along a marked footpath, which first climbs over a meadow and then passes into a forest, through which it climbs for some time along the cart track. Cart track turns into a steeper path higher up, which leads to a marked crossroads where the path from the village of Stražišče joins us on the left.
Here we continue to the right in the direction of Sveti Jošto and the path continues in a cross-climb to the right. A little higher you reach a larger chapel and above it the Puščava Home (Rod zelenega Jošta Association).
Near the above-mentioned home there is another chapel, next to which stands a mountain direction sign informing us that we can choose the left or right steep path for the climb to Jošt. Whichever way you choose, you will reach the top in a few minutes.
From Jošto continue in the direction of the villages Čepulje, Špičasti vrh and Sveti Mohor.
From Jošto, the trail descends relatively steeply over the summit slope, then crosses the road and enters the forest, through which it descends for a short distance. After a short descent, the path to Besnica branches off to the right, and we continue left in the direction of Sveti Mohor. The path continues gradually, then continues with a few short ascents and descents. A little further on, we cross a road, but soon leave it, as the markings direct us slightly to the right onto a wide cart track. Cart track gradually narrows and leads us to a marked crossroads where we continue straight on in the direction of Sveti Mohor and Špičasti hrib (left down Čepulje and Planica).
The path continues to ascend and descend gently a few more times, and then, as it approaches Gladki vrh, turns slightly to the right and climbs steeply for a short time. The path bypasses the summit on the right and then leads to a wooded ridge, along which it continues for a short time. The path then turns slightly to the right and begins to climb cross-slopes Špičasti hrib. After a short ascent, we reach a marked crossroads where the path from Spodnja Besnica joins us from the right, and we continue left up towards Špičasti hrib, the top of which we reach after a further 5 minutes' walk.
