Rovte - Sveti Urh (Zavratec) (via Kamnikov Grič)

Access to the starting point:
a) First drive to Škofja Loka, then continue to Gorenje village and Žire. From Žiri, continue along a slightly more winding road towards Rovtam and Logatec, which you follow to a road marker between 13 and 12. 5 km, or to a point where a narrower asphalt road branches off to the right, along which there is a bus station and mountain markers for Medvedje Brdo. Turn right here and then park in a suitable place along the road (the best place is just after the small bridge).
From Žiri (from the crossroads where the road to Idrija branches off to the right) it is about 9 km to the starting point.
b) From the motorway Ljubljana - Koper take the exit Logatec and continue to Logatec. From the roundabout, where you reach the old road Vrhnika - Postojna, turn right (direction Vrhnika) and continue along the old road towards Vrhnika, which you follow for only a few 100 m, then turn left onto the road in the direction of Rovt and Žirov. Continue along the gradually winding road, which you follow until you reach the road marker between 12. 5 and 13 km. Here you will see a bus stop on your left and a small crossroads, at which there are mountain direction signs for Medvedje Brdo and Vrh Svetih Treh kraljev. Turn left here and park in a suitable place on the roadside (the best place is just after the small bridge).
c) Drive into Idrija, then continue driving towards Logatec. Before the end of Idrija, turn left onto a steep road that starts to climb towards the village of Gore. Higher up, you reach a plateau, and the road flattens out. At the crossroads, follow the signs to the neighbouring settlement Dole and later to Zavrate. After the end of the above-mentioned place, we start descending towards the valley of Sovra, where we also reach the main road Žiri - Logatec. Follow this road to the right and we follow it to the road marker between 13 and 12. 5 km, or to the point where a narrower asphalt road branches off to the right, along which there is a bus station and mountain markers for Medvedje Brdo. Turn right here and park in a suitable place along the road (the best place is just after the small bridge). From where we reached the Žiri - Logatec road to the starting point is about 900 m.

Path description:
From the starting point, continue along the road along which we parked, which initially leads us along the Globovšek brook. Higher up, the stream recedes to the right, or we move into the adjacent valley, where the path leads us past two homesteads. At the second homestead (homestead Kamnik on the map), continue to the right, continue along the asphalt road and climb up a few bends to a crossroads by a bench and a cross.
From this crossroads, turn left (Luka homestead on the right) and continue along the dirt road. At the hunting observation point, a few minutes away, turn right, and then return to the woods, passing beautiful views. The road, which is relatively well marked, then takes us past the Nartar homestead to the next crossroads, where we continue slightly to the left (Rupe homestead on the right). Further on, the road leads us past the old Italian caverns from the time of the Rapallo border, and we climb up a moderately steep road to a crossroads where we join the Medvedje Brdo - Zavratec road.
Follow the road to the right, i. e. in the direction of Zavratec (Medvedje Brdo on the left). There is a slightly steeper descent for a few minutes and then you reach the village of Potok, where the road becomes asphalted again. In the village, the road is completely laid, and leads past a few houses and mainly across meadows. On the other side of the village, the road enters a forest, where it descends gently along a nearby stream for a short time, and then begins to climb in front of a solitary house. A few minutes higher up, the road reaches a sports ground and a few 10 steps further on, the village of Zavratec. There is a short descent and the road leads to the Church of St. Urha in Zavratec.
