Route description:
From the starting point at the inn Legastja we first carefully cross the road, then we head on the footpath in the direction of St. Jakob. The path first ascends on a grassy cart track which leads us among hayfields and pastures, then it flattens and brings us to a smaller hamlet, where we step on an asphalt road. We continue among some houses, after which the asphalt road changes into a cart track, on which we ascend to the nearby hayracks. At the hayracks blazes point us slightly left, on a path which then ascends on a meadow. Easy-to-follow, but in the time of high grass somewhat overgrown path, after a few minutes brings us to another asphalt road which we reach at a smaller crossroad, by which there is a cross. We continue on the left side of the cross, on an ascending road, on which we quickly arrive at a hamlet of a few houses and a marked junction there.
From the junction we continue straight and continue the path for a few more minutes on the road (left 10 minutes shorter path). When in the forest the road makes a right turn, we leave it and continue straight on a somewhat steeper marked path, which ascends through the forest and a little higher leads past a water reservoir. From here a few minutes of ascent through the forest follows, then we arrive at the edge of a meadow, where the path turns right. We leave the cart track on which we continue in a gentle left turn, because blazes point us right on a trail which crosses slopes to the right. After a shorter traverse we step on a macadam road and follow it to the right. The mentioned macadam road quickly brings us to a crossroad, from which we continue on the upper left road in the direction of St. Jakob and Brezovica. From the asphalt road soon a view opens towards St. Jakob, which we see already left behind us, and we walk on the road to the settlement Brezovica.
By the upper part of the settlement there is a marked junction, where we continue right in the direction of Katarina (left St. Jakob) and continue on a narrower macadam road, on which we walk only a short time, because we will soon get to an unmarked turn-off of the path which leads towards Rog. The footpath branches off the road slightly to the left and at first continues parallel with it, then ascends steeper and brings us to an ample and panoramic hayfield. Across the hayfield we continue slightly left, then on the other side again slightly left (right church of St. Katarina). The path continues through a belt of forest and bushes, then brings us to the grassy ridge of Rog, along which we quickly get to the top, by the edge of which there is a big cross.
From Rog we continue towards the east on a path which starts to descend steeply through a belt of forest. The forest quickly ends, and the path then descends across a panoramic hayfield. When the path flattens, we step on a cart track, and we walk on it to the hut, which is located by the edge of the forest. We bypass the hut on the left side and first moderately ascend, then gradually start descending through the forest, lower also across one hayfield. When the path flattens again we will get to a bench with a table and a few meters further also to a macadam road, which we reach right at the smaller crossroad.
When we step on the road we continue straight (left farm Kozomer, right church of St. Katarina), and we quickly arrive at a junction by the chapel.
From the mentioned junction, which is located by the edge of the forest we continue straight on a macadam road in the direction of Jeterbenk (slightly left Žlebe, slightly right Slavkov dom on Golem Brdu), on which we quickly get to a weekend house.
Behind the weekend house we continue on a steep mountain path, which ascends through the forest and to which just a few steps below the summit also joins the path from Slavkov dom on Golem Brdu and the path from Žlebe "along the ridge".
From the mentioned junction we continue left and in a few steps we reach the summit of Jeterbenk, from which a nice view opens up.
