Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we go to the exit Lipce, where we drive right towards Jesenice. In the settlement Javornik at the crossroad with traffic lights we turn left towards the center of the town. At the second traffic light crossroad (at secondary school) we drive right back towards the road Tomšičeva cesta past the primary school on the left. We drive for additional 2.5 km to the end of street Tomšičeva ulica, or to the spot, where by the track there is the last bus stop below a hill. Here is large parking lot and our starting point.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we go on an asphalt road uphill, where right below the top on the left we notice a footpath, on which we go and there we turn left past gardens on the left. We immediately come near the residential buildings on the left, where we cross shorter cart track (it goes only to the nearby water catchment on the right). The footpath now ascends a little towards power line which we quickly reach. Here we turn right uphill towards the east on a gravel path.
Soon after we reach the other power line path turns left in shorter forest (where in the summer time we run into wire fence), after which we step on the footpath east-west. We turn left (west) over a pasture, at the end of which we notice a smaller bench, and here we continue right steeper uphill. Soon steepness decreases and the path turns left towards exposed rocky "baba", where we can enjoy the view.
We continue in deciduous forest (direction west), where the path which crosses a slope, at first descends a little, and after this it brings us in a little wider area of conifer forest. Here among fern we come to the edge, where there is a crossing from where we continue right by the edge for additional 40 meters. When we run into other crossing, eventually we turn left - west. Partly winding path in this direction crosses some smaller gully and after some time turns left uphill towards the south, at top of the hill, we turn again right - west. Here shorter time we walk on nice gentle conifer forest (plain), about 15 meters from the left edge. At the end of the plain, the path turns a little right, from where otherwise at the same altitude again crosses a slope of Jelenkamen.
We soon again come to a viewpoint on the left, where we continue right uphill. After a time on the path which again goes towards the west we run into two zig-zags (first right, (straight hunting path)). After this, when we crossed narrower gully, in quite short time we find ourselves on a marked path, which comes from the left (starting point Ukova), and here we continue right - eastern uphill. After few minutes of ascending we come out of the forest to the spot where a view partially opens up towards the valley, but it doesn't last long. When on the left we see some sort of bench, the path turns sharply left (almost back towards the north-west) and is only moderately ascending. Quite quickly blazes point us uphill straight towards the north and then more and more right towards the east, whereupon we come to the first viewpoint towards Ljubljana basin (ridge).
From here the path goes left uphill and then again right towards the second (main) viewpoint, which is situated 50 meters right from the marked path on rocks with a bench. From this ridge path which goes left uphill towards the north is more and more ascending, and soon we also run into the first steel cable. After 20 meters of the secured path, the steepness at first decreases and then the path for the last time ascends towards the summit, which we reach in few minutes.
