Access to the starting point:
a) From Ljubljana, take the old road to Kranj, then follow the main road to the bridge over the Sava River. Just before the bridge, we leave the main road and continue straight ahead towards Besnice. Continue through Rakovica and Spodnja Besnica to Zgornja Besnica, where, at the sign for the end of Zgornja Besnica, we park in a convenient place next to a number of direction signs.
b)From Jesenice or Bled, take the motorway towards Ljubljana, and we follow it to the Kranj - West exit. Continue along the old regional road towards Ljubljana, and we follow it to Kranj, where we turn right towards Besnice, just after the bridge over the Sava River. Continue through Rakovica and Spodnja Besnica to Zgornja Besnica, where you will park at the end of Zgornja Besnica at a convenient place next to a number of direction signs.
c) The starting point can also be reached from Železniki by passing through the villages Rudno and Dražgoše towards Kranj. When you reach Zgornja Besnica, park in a suitable place next to the sign, Zgornja Besnica.
Path description:
From the starting point, take the broad cart track, which begins to climb transversely to the west. The moderately steep cart track climbs through the forest, turns left at a slightly higher level and splits into two parts. Continue along the left-hand broader cart track, which continues to climb along an undistinguished valley. When the relatively wide cart track turns further to the left, leave it and continue slightly to the right on the weaker and also much steeper cart track. cart track is joined higher up by some less obvious paths, and we continue straight on and climb up cart track, which has since turned into a well-traced path, to the viewpoint.
From the viewpoint, from which we have a nice view of Karawanks and Kamnik Savinja Alps, the path returns to the forest and after 3 minutes of further walking leads us to the forested peak of Rovnik.
