Župeno - Sveti Vid (Vidovska planota)

Access to starting point:
A) From the highway Ljubljana - Koper, we take the exit Brezovica, and then continue driving in the direction of Podpeč (we can also reach Podpeč from Črna vas or Ig). In Podpeč, we continue in the direction of Borovnica, Krim and Rakitna, and drive a short time along the edge of the Ljubljana Moor, then the signs for Rakitna direct us left onto a steep ascending road. The road then leads us through Preserje, where it also begins to descend. After a short descent, we continue left in the direction of Krim and Rakitna, and we follow the mostly ascending road to Rakitna and from there towards Cerknica. Further, we drive a few kilometers through the forest, then we arrive at the Pikovnik saddle and the eponymous settlement, from where a nice view opens up. From the saddle, the road begins to descend, and it leads us through the settlements Kržišče and Beč to the village Župeno, where our path to Sveti Vid begins. Since there are no suitable parking spots at the starting point, we must park in a suitable place by the road before or behind the village.
B) From the highway Koper - Ljubljana, we take the exit Unec and follow the road ahead in the direction of Cerknica. Just a little before Cerknica, we continue left in the direction of Begunje, and when we arrive in Begunje, we follow the signs for Rakitna. Further, the road begins to ascend, and we follow it to the village Župeno, where our path begins. Since there are no suitable parking spots at the starting point, we must park in a suitable place by the road before or behind the village.
C) First, we drive to Cerknica, then we continue driving in the direction of Begunje, and when we arrive in Begunje, we follow the signs for Rakitna. Further, the road begins to ascend, and we follow it to the village Župeno, where our path begins. Since there are no suitable parking spots at the starting point, we must park in a suitable place by the road before or behind the village.

Path description:
In the middle of the village Župeno, we will notice signs for Sveti Vid and Osredek, which direct us to a somewhat narrower road that continues towards the east, and which at first leads us between a few houses. When the houses end, the road leads us across meadows, then it enters the forest, where we notice a notice that we are entering the bear area. The road then moderately ascends for some time, then flattens and brings us to the beginning of the village Koščake, where a marked path from Pikovnik and the peak Zadela also joins from the left.
We continue along the road, which leads us past a solitary house, behind which we gradually emerge from the forest. We continue the path with nice views of the Javornik ridge, Slivnica, Snežnik and other surrounding hills. A short descent follows, in the middle of which first a road branches off to the right towards a few houses in the village Koščake, and a little further a path from Rakitna joins from the left. In both cases, we continue straight ahead, and the asphalt road quickly takes us to the next village, named Korošče.
On the other side of the village, the road rises somewhat temporarily, then flattens and slowly begins to turn more to the left. During this, a view already opens towards the church of sv. Vid and the eponymous village. Just before the village, we join another somewhat wider road, which we follow to the left, and on which we ascend to the fire station and the church.
