Preval - Jeterbenk

Access to starting point:
A) From the Ljubljana ring road, we head to the exit Ljubljana - Podutik, then continue driving towards Podutik. At the traffic light near the parish church in Podutik, we continue straight, then gradually begin ascending towards the Preval saddle, where at the crossroads we continue right towards Toško čelo (straight to Dobrova). From the crossroads, we drive a few hundred meters more, then notice an appropriate parking space on the right side, where there is space for around 10 cars.
B) From the Ljubljana - Koper highway, we head to the Brezovica exit, then continue driving towards Dobrova and Polhov Gradec. At the end of Dobrova, signs for Šentvid direct us right onto a narrower road, along which we continue driving. Further on, the road leads through Stranska vas, after which it begins ascending towards Preval. At Preval, we go left (straight to Šentvid and Podutik) and drive a few hundred meters more, then notice an appropriate parking space on the right side, where there is space for around 10 cars.

Path description:
By the parking lot we notice the beginning of the marked path, which at first continues parallel with the asphalt road, then turns a little more to the right and ascends a little more. Higher up, we cross the road, then only a little further join it. We follow the road to the left, walking along it to the left bend, from there straight onto a somewhat steeper path, which soon approaches the road completely. We continue right, first along an indistinct ridge, on a path that continues through the forest. The path ahead crosses the edge of a meadow, after which we arrive at the hunting cottage on Toško čelo.
Just before the cottage we step onto a narrower asphalt road, which first ascends moderately, then begins descending towards the houses on Toško čelo. When we descend to the main road we continue sharply right in the direction of Katarina (left return to the starting point). We continue the path on a macadam road, which quickly enters the forest, then continues with some shorter ascents and descents. At a few smaller crossroads we continue on the "main" road, which after some time brings us to the quarry, after which the forest begins to thin. After a somewhat longer descent, a marked path from Gabrje joins us from the left, and we walk along the road to the nearby crossroads, by which stands a sign (cross).
Here, the road to Slavkov dom on Golem Brdo branches off to the right, straight ahead an unmarked footpath continues, leading directly to the church of sv. Katarine, to the left a marked path branches off, continuing along the asphalt road.
Here we continue left (or also straight on the unmarked shortcut) and ascend on a gentle partly asphalt road to Vaška krčma, by which we notice the next hiking signposts. Here we continue right in the direction of Sveti Jakob and continue the path on a relatively steep road, along which in a few minutes we arrive at a larger chapel.
At the chapel we continue right (left Sveti Jakob) and continue the path on the still asphalted road, which after 5 minutes of further walking brings us to the church of sv. Katarine.
From the church we continue straight on a somewhat worse road, which begins to descend gently. The road soon levels out, then partly through the forest, partly over scenic slopes brings us to a smaller crossroads by which stands a bench with a table. We continue straight on the right road, which only a few 10 m further brings us to a chapel, by which a junction is marked. Again we continue straight and continue the path on a wide cart track, which ends at a nicely arranged log cabin. We bypass the mentioned log cabin on the left side and continue on a steep mountain path, along which in 5 minutes of further walking we arrive at the top of Jeterbenk.
