Further, we drive through the settlement, after that, when on the right side we notice sports field of the nearby primary school, we turn left on the road Cesta v Žlebeh. When residential houses on the right side of the road ends, we get to the settled parking lot, where we park.
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 store Hofer, we turn right across the railway track in the direction of Golo Brdo, Žleb and Preska. Behind railway track we continue right on the main road towards Preska, on the main road, we drive to first road exit on the left. Further, we drive through the settlement, after that, when on the right side we notice sports field of the nearby primary school, we turn left on the road Cesta v Žlebeh. When residential houses on the right side of the road ends, we get to the settled parking lot, where we park.
Path description:
At the end of the parking lot is located a marked crossing, where we continue right in the direction of Jeterbenk and Katarina (left Slavkov dom on Golo Brdo). The path at first leads on a macadam road which after a smaller house changes into a cart track, from which we continue left in the forest, where at first we cross a stream. Further, we are gently ascending on occasionally overgrown path which leads us past several smaller crossings, where we follow the blazes. After few minutes of gentle ascent, the path turns slightly to the left and gradually descends to the forest road which we only cross. Next follows some descend, and then we reach an asphalt road and we follow it to the right, but we walk there only a short time because red signposts point us to the left towards the nearby fruit press.
We bypass the fruit press pr Andrej on the left side, and behind it we continue over a small bridge in the forest. In the forest at first we continue right and in few minutes ascend to a cart track, on which we step out of the forest. The path ahead leads us on the mentioned cart track, and at first past the house, and then with nice views on Polhograjsko hribovje. After a short descent, we reach an asphalt road which we only cross, because we continue on a macadam road. The road soon splits into two parts, and we continue on the left bottom (possible also right, because both paths lead to the church of St Marjeta), on which we quickly get to the left turn, by which there is a marked parking lot Žlebe.
From the parking lot, we continue on a cart track in the direction of Katarina, Jeterbenk and St Marjeta (left Petelinc), which continues on the left side of the stream. After few 10 strides we leave mentioned cart track and we continue right into the forest, where at first we descend to a stream which we also cross. On the other side for s short time we are still gently ascending, and then the path turns right and it ascends steeper. A little higher we get to a marked crossing, where we have two options to continue.
We can continue left in the direction of Jeterbenk or right on a good minute longer path past the church of St Marjeta.
If we continue on the left path we will quickly get to the next crossing, where another path towards the mentioned church branches off to the right. Here as well, we continue left, after that a little further on an unmarked crossing slightly right upward (left bottom path leads on Jeterbenk "on ridge" (of course path passes on the ridge a little higher)), where after a shorter ascent, we join the cart track which leads from the church of St Marjeta.
Further, we are ascending on a relatively wide cart track which leads us past the information board of archaeological site on Gradišče. Few minutes ahead, the path Roparskih vitezov (robber knights) branches off to the right, and we continue straight on a little more steep cart track. Just before the steepness decreases, the path Roparskih vitezov joins again, and marked path turns a little more to the left and over the ridge Turnice brings us on the western slopes of Jeterbenk. The path ahead leads us through a meadow, from which for some time a view opens up a little and then it returns into the forest and it brings us to a crossing at a chapel.
From the mentioned crossing, which is situated by the edge of the forest we continue straight (sharply left Jeterbenk, left Slavkov dom on Golo Brdo) on a panoramic road, on which we quickly get to the next crossing, from where we continue slightly left in the direction of Katarina (on the right road continues Camino de Santiago route, and it leads towards the farm Kozomer, and straight between the both roads the path continues towards Rog and Sveti Jakob). We continue on a slightly ascending road which we follow to the near church of St. Katarina.
