Olipova planina - Planina Stamare

Access to starting point:
From the highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we go to the exit Lesce and follow the road ahead in the direction of Žirovnica and Jesenice. After a few km of driving, we will get to a crossroad, where the road to Žirovnica and Moste branches off to the right (from the direction of Jesenice left). Only a few meters ahead in the next crossroad, we turn left to Moste (right Žirovnica). Further, we drive past a monument to fallen soldiers, where the road starts ascending on a hill below the railway track. On top of the slope, we turn right (at the sign Vila Karin), and then drive towards the lake Završniško jezero and Valvasorjev dom. The road then flattens and brings us to a crossroad, where the road to Valvasorjev dom branches off to the left. We go on the mentioned road (straight Koča pri izviru Završnice), that starts gently at first, and then steeper and steeper ascending on an occasionally quite rough road (the steepest parts are paved with asphalt). Higher, the road brings us to a somewhat bigger crossroad, where we continue left in the direction of Potoška planina (right Doslovška planina). The road then flattens and a little further brings us to the next crossroad, where a road towards Valvasorjev dom branches off to the right, and we continue on the left lower road which then for quite some time continues without large changes in altitude. The road then leads us past a turn-off of the path to Ajdna and then starts ascending steeper on an occasionally quite rough road. The road then again flattens and past the mountain pasture Potoška planina brings us to the Urbas spring, near which there are a few smaller parking spots. We continue to drive, and the road leads us over some smaller crossroads, where we stick to the one which is the most driven. The road then again steeply ascends and a little higher brings us to a larger parking lot, where we park.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue on an increasingly worse macadam road which gradually changes into a wide cart track, and it past a trough, or rather a water trough, brings us to the edge of the mountain pasture Stamare, from which a nice view towards the Julian Alps opens up.
