Smrečje - Vrh Svetih Treh Kraljev (by road)

Access to starting point:
We drive to Smrečje above Vrhnika (here from Vrhnika through Podlipska dolina or from Horjul via Šentjošt), where we park in a suitable place near the church. We park so as not to obstruct the bus, which has a turning point or stop nearby.

Route description:
From the church we continue along the asphalted road in the direction of Vrh Svetih Treh Kraljev and Lavrovec. A little further we reach a smaller intersection, where we turn onto the upper road in the direction of Vrh Svetih Treh Kraljev. After a few meters the road takes us out of the forest, where we continue straight. Then in a gentle ascent we cross meadows by individual houses and soon reach the forest again. Here the road rises somewhat more and leads us to the next intersection on grassy slopes. We turn left and follow this road across part of the village, after which we reach the military tunnel of the Rupnik line. For viewing the tunnels we recommend flashlights, and to continue the route through the cave we must be experienced cavers or have a guide's escort, as the military tunnel passes into a natural cave. From the cave entrance to the hut we have only a minute's walk.
At the hut we turn onto the left road, which after a short ascent takes us out of the forest. Only a few minutes' walk remains on the increasingly scenic slope of the mountain. The summit, on which the church stands, is reached without difficulty in approximately ten minutes of gentle ascent from the mountain hut.
