Access to the starting point:
a) From the motorway Ljubljana - Jesenice take the Ljubljana (Šmartno) exit, then at the first junction turn left across the motorway towards Šmartno and Tacno. After the bridge, the road to the nearby cemetery branches off to the right, the motorway to Ljubljana leads off to the left, and we continue straight on the main road for another 100 metres, and then at the next junction we continue to the right (straight Tacen). We continue through Šmartno, then Ljubljana ends and we continue along the road, which soon returns to the east side of the motorway. The road continues through Povodje and later on through Skaručno. After Skaručna, when the road turns into the lane of a forest, the road to the village of Polje turns first to the right, and a little further on, the road to Repnje turns left. Continue towards Repnje, following the road that leads over the motorway, and then quickly into the village, where you will see signs for the Church of St Tilnus. The trailhead is located near the Repnje monastery.
b) From the motorway Jesenice - Ljubljana, take the exit Vodice, then continue towards Medvode and Smlednik. Follow the main road to Medvode for only a few 10 metres, then turn left towards the villages of Dobruša and Repnje. A slightly narrower road quickly leads to Dobruša and a little further on to Repnje, where at the first crossroads continue slightly right towards the nearby monastery. The trailhead is a little further on from the Repnje monastery.
c) First drive to Medvode and from there continue to Zbilje, Smlednik and Vodice. Before you reach Vodice or the motorway junction, turn right towards the villages Dobruša and Repnje. A slightly narrower road quickly leads to Dobruša and a little further on to Repnje, where at the first crossroads continue slightly right towards the nearby monastery. The trailhead is a little further on from the Repnje Monastery.
d) From Kamnik or Mengeš, take the road to Vodice, and from there turn left at the traffic lights where the road to the airport turns right. A little further on, turn right at the crossroads behind a small strip of woods towards the village of Repnje. The road then leads you through an underpass under the motorway, and at the junction continue left towards the nearby monastery. The trailhead is a little further on from the monastery of Repnje.
Path description:
In Repnje, near the monastery, we see the signs for the Church of St Tilnus, which direct us to a narrower asphalt road that first leads us past a few more houses, then the asphalt ends and turns into a worse macadam road that leads us through the forest. After a left turn, the forest thins out, opening up a beautiful view of the surrounding hills and villages. After about 10 minutes, the path becomes completely flat and leads us to the Church of St Tilno, from which we have a beautiful view towards Velika planina and part of Gorenjska.
