Žlebe - Sveti Jakob (via Jeterbenk)

Access to starting point:
A) First, we drive to Ljubljana, and then we continue driving on Celovška cesta towards Medvode. When we arrive in Medvode, at the first traffic light we turn left across the railway track in the direction of Golo Brdo, Žleb and Preska. Behind the railway track we continue left (right Preska) in the direction of Medno, Golo Brdo and Žleb, after that a little further to the right (straight Medno). Only about 500 m ahead we arrive at the next crossroad, where at the beginning of the settlement Seničica we continue right (straight Golo Brdo) in the direction of the settlement Žlebe. When the residential houses of the settlement Seničica end, we arrive in the forest, where at the crossroad we continue left towards the settlement Žlebe (also slightly right are signs for Žlebe - it is a circular road). Further, we drive on a slightly ascending road, which we follow to a smaller saddle. On the saddle, we continue left on a macadam road, which quickly brings us to the next crossroad, where we continue on the lower left road. From the crossroad, by which there are also hiking signposts, we drive only approximately 100 m, or to the left turn, by which there is a marked parking lot.
B) From Škofja Loka, Kranj or Vodice we drive to Medvode, from there we continue driving towards Ljubljana. At the last traffic light in Medvode, which is located about 100 m ahead from the Hofer store, we turn right across the railway track in the direction of Golo Brdo, Žleb and Preska. Behind the railway track we continue left (right Preska) in the direction of Medno, Golo Brdo and Žleb, after that a little further to the right (straight Medno). Only about 500 m ahead we arrive at the next crossroad, where at the beginning of the settlement Seničica we continue right (straight Golo Brdo) in the direction of the settlement Žlebe. When the residential houses of the settlement Seničica end, we arrive in the forest, where at the crossroad we continue left towards the settlement Žlebe (also slightly right are signs for Žlebe - it is a circular road). Further, we drive on a slightly ascending road, which we follow to a smaller saddle. On the saddle, we continue left on a macadam road, which quickly brings us to the next crossroad, where we continue on the lower left road. From the crossroad, by which there are also hiking signposts, we drive only approximately 100 m, or to the left turn, by which there is a marked parking lot.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue on a cart track in the direction of Katarina, Jeterbenk and sv. Marjeta (left Petelinc), which continues on the left side of the stream. After some 10 steps we leave the mentioned cart track and continue right into the forest, where first we descend to the stream and cross it. On the other side for a short time we still gently ascend, then the path turns right and ascends steeper. A little higher we arrive at a marked junction, where we continue left (right church of sv. Marjeta 3 minutes) and on the nearby next one again left. A little further the path splits into two parts, and we continue on the lower left (right Jeterbenk over Turnice), which for some time is not marked, but is marked on most junctions.
From the unmarked junction first we lightly descend to a smaller gully, then gently ascend to a cart track, which we follow to the left, we walk on it to the place where signs "Petelinc" direct us right onto a steeper path, on which in a few minutes we arrive at a hay meadow (at the edge of the hay meadow there is a bench), across which we ascend steeply. The path ahead returns into the forest and brings us past ruins to a marked junction, where we join the marked path from Slavkov dom on Golo Brdo.
Here we continue right and begin to ascend along the ridge of Jeterbenk, from which occasionally a little view opens towards the south. Higher we reach a kind of forepeak, from which we descend to a smaller saddle, where we join the path from Katarina. Here we continue straight and in a few steps reach the summit, in the middle of which stands a big cross.
From the junction a few steps below the summit we continue in the direction of Katarina and first steeply descend through the forest, then arrive at a weekend cottage, where the path flattens and brings us to the road. We continue on the road, which quickly brings us to a junction at the chapel.
From the mentioned junction, which is located at the edge of the forest, we continue straight (sharply left Jeterbenk, left Slavkov dom on Golo Brdo) on a scenic road, on which we quickly arrive at the next junction, from where we continue straight on a footpath, which continues between two roads (left road leads towards Katarina, right towards the farm Kozomer). The path ahead quickly ascends to a bench and table, then for a short time continues at the edge of the forest, where a nice view opens. Higher the path goes into the forest and brings us to a forepeak, from which past the hut it descends to the cart track. On the cart track we ascend only for a short time, then at the place where the cart track turns slightly right, we continue straight uphill on a well-trodden trail, which begins to ascend steeply across the hay meadow. Higher the path goes into the forest, where it ascends even steeper. When a little higher we step out of the forest we are already on the summit of Rog at a large wooden cross.
From the summit we continue on a pleasant ridge path, which leads along a panoramic ridge, then the path crosses a belt of forest, after which we arrive at a junction. At the junction a path to the church sv. Katarina branches off to the left, we continue slightly right on a somewhat less pronounced but still well-followable trail, which continues across the hay meadow for some time, then passes into the forest and descends to a narrower macadam road, which leads from Topola towards the hamlet Brezovica. We walk on the road for a short time, which we follow to the right, then arrive at a well-marked junction, which is located at the edge of a smaller hamlet.
The marked path bypasses the hamlet on the right side, then continues on a wide cart track, from which a nice view opens on our goal and in fine weather also on Kamnik and Savinja Alps and Posavsko hribovje. On the other side of the panoramic meadow the path approaches the forest, where the path from Sora and Preska also joins. Here too we continue left, we walk on the cart track only some 10 steps, since then the marks lead us right on a relatively steep path, which continues at the edge of the forest (even if we continue on the cart track we will get to the summit). During the ascent a nice view opens towards Polhograjska Grmada, from the summit, which we reach after a few minutes, also towards the other peaks of Polhograjsko hribovje.
