Selo pri Vodicah - Rašica (Vrh Staneta Kosca) (old path)

Access to starting point:
A) From the Ljubljana-Jesenice highway, take the Ljubljana-Šmartno exit, then continue driving towards Šmartno. In Šmartno, turn right towards Vodice; we drive a few kilometers along the main road towards Vodice, then just before the beginning of the Skaručna settlement turn right in the direction of the Vojsko and Selo pri Vodicah settlements. Along the main road we drive past Skaruško polje, then still before the beginning of the Selo pri Vodicah settlement we notice signs for the Smučarsko društvo Strahovica ski club, which direct us right onto a local road. Further on, we drive through the village, following the road to the parking lot at the foot of the ski jumping hill.
B) From the Jesenice-Ljubljana highway, take the Vodice exit and continue driving towards Vodice. At the traffic-light junction in Vodice, continue straight, then at the next junction turn right in the direction of Bukovica pri Vodicah and Utika. At the end of Utika, continue right towards Selo pri Vodicah, then at the bus stop on the edge of Selo turn right again. From the bus stop along the main road drive just over 100 m, then signs for the Smučarsko društvo Strahovica ski club direct us left onto a local road. Further on, we drive through the village, following the road to the parking lot at the foot of the ski jumping hill.
C) First drive to Mengeš, then continue towards Komenda. At the end of the Mengeš settlement, just after crossing the Pšata stream, turn left onto a local road towards Topole. Before arriving at the mentioned place, turn left again, this time towards Utik. Further, drive along the local road to the Koseze hamlet, where turn left towards Selo pri Vodicah. Soon we arrive at the bus stop on the edge of Selo, where we continue straight. From the bus stop along the main road drive just over 100 m, then signs for the Smučarsko društvo Strahovica ski club direct us left onto a local road. Further on, we drive through the village, following the road to the parking lot at the foot of the ski jumping hill.

Path description:
At the beginning of the parking lot, we notice a beaten path and faded markings beside it, which lead us into the forest. Along the path we first ascend moderately, then arrive at a forest road, which we follow to the right. The road quickly brings us to the ski jumping hill, from where a little view opens up temporarily. We quickly return to the forest and continue the ascent along a gentle to occasionally moderately steep road, along which we walk to a longer right bend, in the middle of which a wide cart track branches off to the left and near which there is a memorial marker. From the mentioned bend, we continue along the road for approximately 50 m, then notice old faded markings, which from the road direct us left onto a moderately steep path. The path flattens after a few minutes and joins a forest logging track, which we follow to the right or straight. Further on, there are still a few smaller junctions and here and there also some faded marking. At the junctions we mostly keep to the left directions, then a fairly gentle path brings us to the more beaten and well-marked ridge path from Mengeška koča towards Rašica.
We follow the mentioned path to the right, and we begin to ascend moderately along it. Higher, the path temporarily descends slightly, and at the junctions that follow we follow the signs for the tower on Rašica, to which we arrive after a few minutes of further walking.
For a nice view, it is worthwhile to climb the 17 m high lookout tower.
