Rakitna - Trenk

Access to starting point:
A) From the Ljubljana-Koper highway, take the Brezovica exit, then continue driving towards Podpeči (Podpeči can also be reached from Črna vas or Ig). In Podpeči, continue towards Borovnica, Krim and Rakitna, and continue driving briefly along the edge of the Ljubljana Moor, then the signs for Rakitna direct us 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 towards 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, drive to Cerknica, then continue driving towards Begunje; when you arrive in Begunje, follow the signs for Rakitna. When you arrive at Rakitna, park on the parking lot by the parish church on Rakitna.

Path description:
From the parking lot, head onto the marked path or initially the road in the direction of Krim, Dom v Iškem Vintgarju, farms Benko and Ustje, Vrbice and village Osredek. The road first leads past the chapel, Mercator store, then after a short ascent brings us to the spot where the road branches left towards the nearby Okrepčevalnica Krimček; we continue slightly right and further on the marked road. The road then leads past some pastures and houses, then splits into two parts.
Continue left upwards (right leads the road towards the health resort MKZ Rakitna) on the road, which after a short ascent splits again. This time continue right in the direction of Krvavica and Iški Vintgar (straight to Krim, Rotovc and Županov vrh) and continue the path briefly on the asphalt road. At the end of the settlement, continue left onto the macadam road, beside which we notice a sign that we will continue the path on the forest road. The road then leads diagonally right across an initially panoramic slope, then passes into a strip of forest. A little after a smaller abandoned quarry, we arrive under the high-voltage power line, from where a little view opens up temporarily. Continue the path for a while under the power line, then the path turns right and enters dense forest. A little further, on the right side of the road behind the mesh fence, we notice a dump; a little further, a path marked with a triangle joins from the left.
Continue straight ahead on the road, which rises and falls slightly a few more times, then arrive at a small junction where the vehicular road, closed by a barrier due to private land, continues right; we continue straight on the cart track, which descends relatively steeply. When both paths join, we will notice a weekend cottage on the left, and a little lower we will reach the Ustje farm, behind which the road finally turns into a cart track. On the cart track along the edge of the fenced pasture, descend to the marked junction, from where continue on the right path towards Vrbice (left: Benko homestead and Gornji Ig).
After the junction, the path enters the forest and begins to ascend gently. A little further, the path gradually moves onto an initially indistinct ridge, along and beside which we continue the gentle ascent. After a short transverse ascent over a less vegetated slope, in a few steps we reach the summit of Trenk.
From the top, it is worth carefully descending to the panoramic precipitous promontory, which rises steeply above Iški Vintgar. If continuing on the marked path, in one minute of further walking we arrive at the NOB monument.
