Access to the starting point:
First we drive to Horjul (to get here from Dobrova near Ljubljana or Vrhnika), then we continue driving towards 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 Dolo, where you can park in a suitable place.
The starting point can also be reached from the direction of Polhov Gradec and Gorenjska vas.
Path description:
At the bus stop in Suhe Dol, you will notice signs for Mountain pasture, which direct you to the right on the road, which soon splits into two parts. Continue on the right marked road (the two roads merge higher up), which leads you along a slightly steeper road, which is between the houses in the village. Above the village, the two roads merge and we follow it to the right, where we quickly enter the forest. We continue climbing through the forest for a while, then we reach a grassy hayfield with a view. There is a short climb and the road leads to a small crossroads, where you have two options for continuing.
You can either continue along the left-hand road, where after 50 m you reach a chapel, opposite which you see a less visible and relatively steep grassy cart track, which you quickly climb to St Andrew's Church, or continue straight on past the houses and then find a marked cart track in the middle of the village, which points you sharply to the left. Follow the above-mentioned cart track, which climbs steeply at first, and you will quickly arrive at the church of St Andrew.
