Suhi Dol - Sivka (by road)

Access to the starting point:
a) First, drive to Horjul (to get here from Dobrova near Ljubljana or Vrhnika), then continue driving to Vrzdenc, Šentjošt and Gorenjska vas. At Vrzdenec, the road starts to climb steeply, and then a little further on leads to a serpentine, in the middle of which the road to Šentjošt and Smrečje branches off to the left. Continue right along the main road, which soon leads to a small pass, at the end of which the road branches off to the right towards the village of Samotorica. Continue straight ahead and the road starts to descend steeply and after a short descent leads to the hamlet of Ljubljanica (lower part of Butajnova), where you reach the next crossroads. Continue left in the direction of Gorenje vas and follow the road to Suhe Dola, where you can park in a suitable place.

b) Take Polhov Gradec and then continue driving towards Gorenjska vas. Follow the road to Gorenjska vasa to Suhi Dol, where you will park in a suitable place at the pass.

c) Drive into the Poljanska valley, more precisely to the roundabout in Gorenjska vas, from where you continue to Lučine and Vrhnika. Follow the asphalt road ascending at the crossroads in the direction of Horjul and Vrhnika, and shortly after the settlements Lučine and Dolge Njive, you will reach the settlement of Suhi Dol, where you will park at the pass in a suitable place.

Path description:
From the pass at Dry Dol, follow the asphalt road in the route Planina nad Horjulom, but soon the asphalt road splits. Continue on the road slightly to the right, which leads us between houses and where we are accompanied by markings. The two roads merge at a higher point and we continue to the right, continuing to climb cross-country. A few minutes higher, a parallel path branches off the road slightly to the left, leading partly through the forest, and we continue along the road, where we are also accompanied by markings. A little further on, we leave the forest, and the road leads us to a crossroads below the Church of St Andrew, where we go left towards the hamlet of Zameja. After 100 metres of further walking, you reach a chapel where a short path branches off sharply to the right to St Andrew's Church, which is situated on a lookout.
From the chapel, continue straight ahead and within a few minutes reach the hamlet of Zameja, where signs direct you left on a side road which changes to cart track behind the last farm, and leads you across a pasture on a slight incline. At the second part of the pasture, cart track starts to disappear, and we continue slightly left to the edge of the woods, where we merge with the path through the woods.
Continue straight ahead or slightly right before the forest, where a wide track appears. The path continues through the forest, walking along and along the ridge of Zlatný vrh, with the Gabrovo hill with the quarry on the right. There is a slight downhill and past a large chapel you reach an asphalt road where the paths diverge again.
Straight across the road, which is reached at a crossroads, the steep path continues towards Sivka, and we continue to the right and continue walking along the road. At a few houses, take the upper road slightly to the left, which ascends to a small pass by the chapel, where you go left towards Sivka. The way ahead leads through the forest at first, and higher up along the edge of vast hay meadows. At the last trees, you will reach a registration box, and the summit is a few 10 steps further on.
Dry Dol - St Andrew 0:25, St Andrew - Sivka 1:15.
