Path description:
From the starting point, follow the footpath in the direction of Mengeš hut, Dobeno and the ridge path to Rašica. The trail climbs moderately through the forest, then crosses a forest road, after which it leads through a number of crossroads, where you carefully follow the markings. The marked trail crosses the "downhill" cycle track several times further on, so a little extra caution is in order. The trail, which passes through the forest the whole time, is higher up and joins the ridge trail from the Mengeš hut on Gobavica a little further on.
Follow this path to the right in the direction of Rašica, where you will first climb up the unmarked Debeli hill, from which you will quickly descend to the forest road. Follow the road to the first left turn and then continue straight ahead towards the ridge path to Rašica. There are a few more forks, where you follow the signs for Rašica, and after a while the path, which is mainly a gentle to moderate ascent, leads to the lookout tower at Rašice.
At your own risk you can climb the tower, which opens up a beautiful view, otherwise you can continue to the nearby mountain home.
Description and pictures refer to the situation in 2017 (April).
