Preval - Stražni vrh

Access to starting point:
A) From the Ljubljana ring road we go to the exit Ljubljana - Podutik, and then we continue driving in the direction of Podutik. At the traffic light near the parish church in Podutik we continue straight, and then we gradually start ascending towards the Preval saddle, where at the crossroad we continue right in the direction of Toško čelo (straight Dobrova). From the crossroad we drive a few 100 meters, and then on the right side we notice a suitable parking space, where there is space for around 10 cars.
B) From the highway Ljubljana - Koper we go to the exit Brezovica, and then we continue driving in the direction of Dobrova and Polhov Gradec. At the end of Dobrova signs for Šentvid point us to the right on a narrower road, on which we continue driving. Further, the road leads through Stranska vas, behind which it starts ascending towards the Preval saddle. On the Preval saddle we go left (straight Šentvid and Podutik) and we drive a few 100 meters, and then on the right side we notice a suitable parking space, where there is space for around 10 cars.

Path description:
From the starting point on an asphalt road, in a few minutes we return to Preval, where we carefully cross the main road Dobrova - Podutik, and then by the cross we continue into the forest on a marked path which leads towards the final bus stop in Podutik. From Preval the path at first moderately ascends, and then it flattens and soon splits into two parts. The left path leads further towards Podutik and we continue slightly right on an unmarked path which leads towards Stražni vrh, Klobuk, Bokalce... Even though the path further isn't marked, we can next to it notice some unofficial marks, and also orientation because of the well-beaten "main" path isn't particularly difficult.
From the fork ahead the path for a short time ascends gently, and then it descends to a smaller saddle, where there is a crossing of several cart tracks. From the crossing we continue slightly right, so that we continue the path diagonally towards the right, where the path a little further leads past a drying-up spring. Soon after the spring the path again splits, and we continue left uphill (straight Lovska koča na Klobuku and Klobuk). Next follows a few minutes of moderate ascent and the path brings us to the forested Stražni vrh.
