Access to starting point:
We drive along Dolenjska cesta in Ljubljana, where at the intersection with Galjevica we turn towards the northeast towards the nearby health center Rudnik and the Rakovnik church. We can park in an appropriate place by the church.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue on the asphalt road past the music school, which quickly brings us to the chapel of Our Lady of Lourdes, which is located on our left. We continue for a short time still on the road and then turn left past the gates. Next follows an ascent on a cart track, which brings us to a panoramic meadow where there is also a junction.
At the junction where there are benches and a panoramic board, a path from the right joins us from the football pitches, which leads past the pond. We continue slightly left where the signposts by the path also direct us. Here we also join the themed trails Srčna pot and V gozd po zdravje. From the meadow where there are a few more benches, the path quickly brings us into the forest, where other paths from the Rakovnik church also join us from the left. We continue straight and after a few minutes of a somewhat steeper ascent the path again brings us to a junction where we continue right. Here we can also notice a few faded green blazes on the tree.
Further, the path becomes gentler and crosses forested slopes. Here we will also notice signs with exercises of the themed trail V gozd po zdravje by the path. Later a path joins us from the left, which runs higher along the fence of the shooting range. There are benches by the path again. We continue further on the gentle path through the forest, and then we soon join a macadam road.
We continue right on the road, which brings us to the intersection at the Astronomical Observatory. At the intersection there are also information boards and drinking water (in winter the tap is closed).
At the intersection we turn slightly left onto the footpath where the signpost for the Planetarium also directs us.
From the junction the path ascends more steeply; higher, as the path flattens, another somewhat less trodden path joins us from the left. Further on the path descends slightly, and then follows the last ascent to the top where there are information boards and models with astronomical educational content.
