Žlebe - Sveti Jakob (via Turnice)

Access to the starting point:
a) First, drive into Ljubljana, then continue along the Celovška Road towards Medvode. When you arrive in Medvode, turn left at the first traffic light over the railway line towards Gole Brdo, Žleb and Preska. After the railway line, turn left (right towards Preska) in the direction of Medno, Golo Brdo and Žleb, and then a little further right (right towards Medno). Only about 500 m further on, you will reach the next crossroads, where at the beginning of Seničica, turn right (right towards Golo Brdo) in the direction of Žlebe. When the residential houses of Seničica are finished, we arrive in the forest, where we continue left at the crossroads towards Žlebe (also slightly to the right there are signs for Žlebe - it is a circular road). Continue along the slightly ascending road, which we follow until we reach a small pass. At the pass, turn left onto the dirt road, which quickly leads to the next crossroads, where you continue along the lower left road. From the crossroads, where there are also mountain direction signs, drive for about 100 m, or until you reach a left turn, at which there is a marked parking area.
b) From Škofja Loka, Kranj or Vodice, drive to Medvode and from there continue towards Ljubljana. At the last traffic light in Medvode, which is located about 100 m further from the Hofer store, turn right across the railway line in the direction of Golego Brdo, Žleb and Preska. After the railway line, turn left (right Preska) in the direction of Medno, Golo Brdo and Žleb, and then a little further right (straight Medno). Only about 500 m further on, you will reach the next crossroads, where at the beginning of Seničica, turn right (straight Golo Brdo) in the direction of Žlebe. When the residential houses of Seničica are finished, we arrive in the forest, where we continue left at the crossroads towards Žlebe (also slightly to the right there are signs for Žlebe - it is a circular road). Continue along the slightly ascending road, which we follow until we reach a small pass. At the pass, continue left on the dirt road, which quickly leads to the next crossroads, where you continue on the lower left road. From the crossroads, where there are also mountain direction signs, drive for about 100 m, or until you reach a left turn, at which there is a marked parking area.

Path description:
From the parking lot continue along cart track in the direction of Katarina, Jeterbenk and St. Marjeta (Petelinc on the left), which continues along the left side of the brook. After a few 10 steps leave the cart track and continue right into the woods, first descending to and crossing the stream. On the other side, continue climbing gently for a short distance, then the path turns right and climbs steeply. A little higher up, you reach a marked crossroads where you have two options for continuing.
You can either continue left in the direction Jeterbenk or right along a good minute longer path past the Church of St Margaret.
If you continue on the left path, you will soon reach the next crossroads, where another path branches off to the right towards the church. Here again, continue left, then slightly further on at an unmarked crossroads slightly right up (the lower left path leads to Jeterbenk "along the ridge" (of course, the path only goes to the ridge a little higher up)), where after a short climb you join the cart track leading from the church of St Marjeta.
Continue along the relatively wide cart track, which leads past the information board of the archaeological site at Gradišče. A few minutes further on, the path of the Knights of the Robber Knights branches off to the right, and we continue straight on the slightly steeper cart track. Just before the steepness subsides, we rejoin the path of the Knights of the Predatory Knights, and the waymarked path turns slightly more to the left and leads us over the ridge of Turnice to the western slopes of Jeterbenka. The way forward leads us across a meadow, from which we transiently open up some views, and then returns to the forest and leads us to a crossroads at the chapel.
From this crossroads, which is located at the edge of the forest, continue straight ahead (sharp left Jeterbenk, left Slavkov dom na Golem Brdu) along the scenic road, which quickly leads to the next crossroads, from where you continue straight ahead on the footpath, which continues between two roads (the left road leads to Katarina, the right road to Kozomer Farm). The path continues quickly up to a bench and a table, and then continues for a short distance along the edge of the forest, where a beautiful view opens up. Higher up, the path descends into the forest and leads to a hill, from which it descends past a byte to cart track. Climb cart track for a short distance, then, at the point where cart track turns slightly to the right, continue straight up a well-trodden track which begins to climb steeply across the hayfield. Higher up, the path enters the woods, where it climbs even steeper. When you get a little higher out of the forest, you are at the top of the Róg by a large wooden cross. From the top, continue along the pleasant ridge path, which leads along a scenic ridge, and then the path crosses the lane of the forest, after which you arrive at a crossroads. At the crossroads, a path branches off to the left to the church of St. We continue slightly to the right along a slightly less distinct, but still well-traced path, which continues for some time through hay fields, then turns into the woods and descends to a narrow macadam road leading from Topole towards the hamlet of Brezovica. Follow the road to the right for a short distance and then arrive at a well-marked crossroads located at the edge of a small hamlet.
The marked trail passes the hamlet on the right and then continues along the wide cart track, which offers a beautiful view of our destination and, in good weather, of the Kamnik and Savinja Alps and the Posavje hills. On the other side of the meadow, the path approaches the forest, where we join the path from Sora and Preska. Here, too, we continue to the left, and we walk along the cart track for only a few more 10 steps, as the signs then lead us to the right on a relatively steep path that continues along the edge of the forest (even if we continue along the cart track we will reach the top). During the ascent we have a nice view towards Polhograjska Grmada, and from the summit, which we reach after a few minutes, we can also see the other peaks of the Polhograjsko hills.
