Vrzdenec - Kožljek

Access to the starting point:
First, drive to Horjul (to get here by Dobrova or Vrhnika), then continue driving towards Vrzdenec and Gorenjska vas. At the first sharp left turn, after the village Vrzdenec, you will notice a narrow asphalt road that branches off the main road to the right. Take this road, which after a short steep climb leads to the church of St. Kancian above Vrzdenec. Park in one of the car parks near the church.

Path description:
Just a little further from the church, at the end of the road, we will notice mountain direction signs directing us to cart track in the direction of Kožljek (slightly to the right of Koreno). Cart track, which begins to climb along the stream, leads us after a minute's walk to an unmarked crossroads.
Continue right along the second cart track (the first one to the right is quite overgrown, the left one is lost), which turns right immediately after crossing the stream and then climbs up its right bank. After a short climb, cart track turns sharp left and gradually starts to move away from the stream. Further on, the markings become more frequent, and the path soon leads to a marked crossroads, where we continue to the right in the direction of Samotorica (left at Hlipč). We continue our ascent along cart track, which leads us higher out of the wods and onto the grassy hillsides which are open to the view. The ascent continues along the widening cart track, which leads us past the hunting observation post to the Church of St Michael at Samotorica.
At the church, step onto the road and follow it to the right, but only for a few steps, as the markings for Kožljek direct us to the left (straight along the Koreno road, a less visible footpath which, after a short climb, leads us to another road. Follow the asphalted road to a small prevala at which you will see a chapel and mountain direction signs. Continue slightly left in the direction Kožljek, following a slightly less visible path that climbs over a meadow. Higher up, the path leads us to the edge of the forest, and here the signs direct us right into the dense and, in summer, quite overgrown forest. The path through the forest climbs steeply at first, then the steepness eases and the path leads us out of the forest onto partly scenic slopes. Follow this path all the way to the top, which is reached after a few minutes of further walking.
