Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Koper we go to the exit Vrhnika, and then we continue driving on the old road towards Logatec. At the last traffic light in Vrhnika, we recognize it by a nearby bank and pharmacy, we turn right and then in the next crossroads, we follow the road in the direction of Star maln. The road then leads us past Kurja vas and loses an asphalt covering. When we by the road notice signs for Blatni dol, Gačnik and Star maln, we park on an appropriate place by the road.
Path description:
At the starting point, we notice signs for Blatni dol, which point us to the right on a wide ascending cart track. After a good 10 minutes of ascent, we come to a marked crossing by the edge of Blatni dol, where we continue right in the direction of Planina (straight Star maln) and we still continue the ascent on a wide cart track. Higher, we cross two power lines, and the path only a little further splits into two parts.
We continue on the right path in the direction of Planina (left still on a cart track Zaplana) and we continue the ascent on a little steeper footpath which is further ascending through a dense forest. Higher, we cross a worse cart track, and then we join the path from Vrhnika past Bukev. We continue on a wider mountain path, on which in few minutes of additional walking, we get to the cottage Zavetišče na Planini nad Vrhniko, by which there is a good 20 meters high lookout tower.
