Rakitna - Rotovc

Access to starting point:
A) From the highway Ljubljana - Koper, we take the exit Brezovica, then continue driving in the direction of Podpeči (we can also reach Podpeči from Črna vas or Ig). In Podpeči, we continue in the direction of Borovnica, Krim and Rakitna, and continue driving for a short time along the edge of the Ljubljana marshes, then the signs for Rakitna direct us to the left onto a steep ascending road. The road then leads us through Preserje, where it also starts descending. After a short descent, we continue left in the direction of Krim and Rakitna, and we follow the mostly ascending road to Rakitna (after the turn-off for Krim the road starts descending), where we park on the parking lot by the church.
B) First, we drive to Cerknica, then we continue driving in the direction of Begunje; when we get to Begunje, we follow the signs for Rakitna. When we get to Rakitna, we park on the parking lot by the parish church at Rakitna.

Path description:
At the parking lot we notice mountain signposts for Krim and Iški Vintgar, which direct us onto an ascending road. After a short ascent, we come to an unmarked crossroad, where a road branches off to the left to the nearby bar, and we continue right, where a few meters ahead we notice the blazes. After a few dozen meters of further walking, we come to the next crossroad, where we continue on the left ascending road (right health resort at Rakitna) and follow it for a short time to a marked junction. Here we leave the road and continue slightly right on a marked cart track in the direction of Krim (sharply right Iški Vintgar). The path ahead ascends among meadows and in the upper part of them brings us to a junction, where we continue on the right marked cart track. We continue the path on the cart track, which ascends transversely towards the right, and during the ascent we notice numerous information boards of the forest educational trail. Higher, the path ascends a few times somewhat more steeply, then levels out and brings us to the saddle between Županov vrh and Rotovc.
From the saddle we continue straight in the direction of Rotovc (slightly left Krim) on the path, which starts moderately ascending through sparse forest and a belt of shrubs. This path, which soon brings us out of the forest, we then follow all the way to the top of Rotovc, which we reach after 5 minutes of walking from the junction on the saddle.
