Access to starting point:
We drive to Škofja Loka and further to Podlubnik. We park on a small parking lot below kindergarten Najdihojca.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we go to few meters distant small bridge over Selška Sora, which we cross and right behind the bridge we turn right on a footpath which leads by the riverbed. We are on an area named Vincarje. On our left we have at first a meadow and then a field, and soon we notice on the opposite bank of Sora a small hydropower plant, past which we go. We still walk on a footpath and later on a wider path by the riverbed, until we notice on a tree by the path on the right side signpost for Lubnik, which points us uphill to the left. We go straight. When we come to the bridge Veštrski most we don't go over, we turn left and we stick to this road, we walk on the upper side of the road until it descends. Then we turn steep uphill, the road narrows into a footpath. The path goes past the cave with a source of water, we come on a meadow (ATTENTION!! In the summer it is very overgrown, dense as in some jungle, so slowly and carefully until the meadow opens!). When we cross the meadow, we turn left on a macadam road, we make one turn and we go in the direction of Praprotno, straight. We make few steps, when the road starts descending steeply, we turn left on a poorly visible footpath, and immediately after a shorter ascent, we go steeply right, uphill, on pathless terrain. We cross the road, occasionally the path is visible a little. Here starts an extremely steep ascent. We are ascending until we come past the boulders and we cross the road 2 times. Now we are at an altitude 650 meters and the path ascends to the last road, 773 meters. Immediately after this follows even harder part, we climb over boulders, some we bypass. On this part, at an altitude around 815 meters the pathless terrain is crossed by the path. We stick to it in the left direction. We cross an indistinct slippery torrent, riverbed of which is covered with leaves and at first glance it doesn't even look like a torrent. After that comes the harder part. Ledges are nicely routed, we get help from a steel cable (slipping would be deadly). When the steel cable ends we go straight, into the rocks. We climb over small rocks, the terrain is becoming increasingly steep, smaller rocks a little higher are replaced by boulders. We go directly over the boulder, II grade 8 meters. Then we go on the ridge over rocks and we again climb a little over bigger boulders, the boulders slowly vanish. We come directly below the mountain hut, we notice boulders below the mountain hut and a smaller cave. We go straight among nettles and we come out at the chapel. Few steps and we are already standing on the top of Lubnik. Needless to say, that there the path is only for skilled mountaineers, all the crossings, climbing over boulders, among boulders in my opinion is a good II to II+ grade, except if we make it even harder. Also, the gullies are very unpleasant, slippery and extremely dangerous for slipping, which can end fatally. The path is already from the beginning, from Soteska very steep and exposed. Already there it starts the II grade of climbing. Higher, after the crossing with steel cables, it is all even steeper, rocky and exposed. In the lower part it is possible to bypass the boulders, in the upper part we have to climb them. ONLY FOR SKILLED MOUNTAINEERS WHO DON'T HAVE PROBLEMS WITH ORIENTATION AND VERY SLIPPERY, STEEP TERRAIN!!
