Selo pri Vodicah - Rašica (Vrh Staneta Kosca) (by road)

Access to starting point:
A) From the highway Ljubljana - Jesenice, we take the exit Ljubljana - Šmartno, then continue driving towards Šmartno. In Šmartno, we turn right towards Vodice, but we drive a few kilometers on the main road towards Vodice, then just before the beginning of the settlement Skaručna, we turn right in the direction of the settlements Vojsko and Selo pri Vodicah. On the main road, we drive along Skaruško polje, then still before the beginning of the settlement Selo pri Vodicah, we notice signs for the ski club Strahovica, which direct us right onto a local road. Further on, we drive through the village, and we follow the road to the parking lot at the foot of the ski jumping hill.
B) From the highway Jesenice - Ljubljana, we take the exit Vodice and continue driving towards Vodice. At the traffic-light intersection in Vodice, we continue straight, then at the next intersection right in the direction of Bukovica pri Vodicah and Utik. At the end of Utik, we continue right towards Selo pri Vodicah, and then at the bus stop on the edge of Selo once again right. From the bus stop, we drive on the main road only a little over 100 m, then signs for the ski club Strahovica direct us left onto a local road. Further on, we drive through the village, and we follow the road to the parking lot at the foot of the ski jumping hill.
C) First, we drive to Mengeš, then continue driving towards Komenda. At the end of the settlement Mengeš, just a little after crossing the stream Pšata, we turn left onto a local road towards the settlement Topole. Before we arrive at the mentioned settlement, we continue left again, this time towards Utik. Further, we drive on the local road to the hamlet Koseze, where we turn left in the direction of Selo pri Vodicah. We soon arrive at the bus stop on the edge of Selo, where we continue straight. From the bus stop, we drive on the main road only a little over 100 m, then signs for the ski club Strahovica direct us left onto a local road. Further on, we drive through the village, and we follow the road to the parking lot at the foot of the ski jumping hill.

Route description:
At the beginning of the parking lot, we notice a beaten footpath and next to it faded blazes, which lead us into the forest. On the footpath, we first ascend moderately, then we arrive at a forest road, which we follow to the right. The road quickly brings us to the ski jumping hill, from where temporarily a little view opens up. We quickly return to the forest and continue the ascent on a gentle to occasionally moderately steep road, along which we walk to a longer right turn, in the middle of which a wide cart track branches off to the left and by which there is a memorial plaque. From the mentioned turn, we continue on the road, from which after approximately 50 meters the "old path" to Rašica branches off to the left. The road then ascends transversely to the right for some time, then brings us to a crossroads, where we continue left (straight to Povodje and Šmarna gora). There follows another minute of walking and we arrive at the next crossroads, where we again continue left (straight footpath to Rašica, right village Rašica and Gameljne).
From the second crossroads onward, the increasingly poor road begins to ascend more steeply, which after 10 minutes of further walking brings us to the mountain hut on Rašica.
From the hut, we continue on the wide path, which after a few more steps of gentle walking brings us to Vrh Staneta Kosca, on which a lookout tower stands.

We recommend: trips from the same starting point, similar trips, summit register
