Yesterday (Wednesday, April 22) from Cesta v Kresnice over five ridges and four streams to Janče and back over Vnajnarje and Grmadnik. Started at the parking by the underpass under the railway. From Stari grad (438m) over Besnica continued to Lazarjev vrh (452m). At the saddle south of it there is a bench, from which I descended about 40m down steep overgrown terrain to the cart track under the ridge. Nearby is a small turnaround and hunting blind; between the turnaround and the blind I found, on a tiny steep pathlet or game trail, the way to Gradolski stream some 100 elev. meters lower. The valley entrance is from the north but blocked by a building with private land, as Anže R. explained last time; the owner is not thrilled by crossings over his plot. Recently my friend B. tried his luck anyway and sneaked past the house with the car. When they were returning, enchanted by the wilderness in these parts, with his wife, the owner was waiting at the car with a Kuvasz, weighing about 70kg, straining at the chain. B. and his wife probably have only their loud enthusiasm for the valley, which they expressed, and of course the friendly explanation, to thank that the owner let them pass without consequences.
Along the valley I went a good kilometer southbound, then where it widens a bit left up the blueberry-overgrown ridge to Veliki Kajert (522m). There I was a bit pensive and missed the direction and ridge, so I had to backtrack about 10 minutes. Continued on the forest road to Mali Brovec (610m), then a bit back and on the tractor cart track into the valley of Gostinca stream. The track ends at an adrenaline-inducing rickety bridge over the stream. On the other side the path led along the slopes of Lipavčev grič. Under the ridge it gets lost for some 10 meters, then turns into a pathlet. I also jumped to Kramarjev hrib (444m), then along the pathlet on the ridge and further on cart tracks to Lipavčev grič (642m) by the Andrejevec hamlet.
Down the dusty, dry-as-pepper cart track toward the Slapnica stream valley. Midway the path branches left; after some 100 meters it ends in a gully, which I crossed on a tiny pathlet that soon widens into an old cart track. This descends right down into a gully after a few hundred meters, which ends at Slapnica stream.
Along the road by the stream about 400 meters south, then at the gully in the slope on the left side of the road I decided for the ascent on the small ridge right of the gully. Although there is approximately a path drawn on the map at that spot, I didn't find it and continued about 150 elev. meters pathless uphill toward Bulantinov hrib, along which the marked path to Janče goes. Already in the upper part of the slope I came upon a very overgrown cart track that continued as a tractor version, on which I crossed the slopes toward Janče until it ended. Since the ridge was not far, I cut across the forest and reached the marked path in ten minutes. To Janče it was still about an hour.
From Janče, mostly by road, continued to Vnajnarje, then onward to Tomaž and over Grmadnik (569m) into Besnica valley. Continued along the stream on Ostrovrharjeva pot and past the millstone quarry directly to Stari grad, from where I descended to the car.
Altogether just under 33 kilometers and almost exactly 1900 elev. meters of ascent and equally much descent. I had viewed the individual sections of the path before; otherwise it would have gone more slowly. Except in the busier areas (Stari grad, Besnica, Janče) I met almost no one.
