Trnovec - Tošč

Access to starting point:
A) From Ljubljana, Kranj or Vodice we drive to Medvode, from there we continue driving towards Sora. At the junction at the beginning of Sora, immediately behind the small bridge we turn left in the direction of Katarina and village Trnovec. Further, we drive through the Ločnica valley, where the road leads us past the inn Legastja. From the mentioned inn we drive on the main road for another good 500 m, then signs for Setnica (at the sign for Setnica are also signposts for Grmada and Tošč and open-door farm Gonte) point us to the right on at first still asphalt road. The narrower road then ascends by the stream (during the ascent "we ignore" right turn-offs and we drive straight), and we drive along it to the right bend, by which we notice woodshed and above it residential house. We park at the beginning of the bend on an appropriate place by the road.
B) First, we drive to Škofja Loka, from there we continue driving towards Sora. At the end of Sora we turn right in the direction of Katarina and village Trnovec. Further, we drive through the Ločnica valley, where the road leads us past the inn Legastja. From the mentioned inn we drive on the main road for another good 500 m, then signs for Setnica (at the sign for Setnica are also signposts for Grmada and Tošč and open-door farm Gonte) point us to the right on at first still asphalt road. The narrower road then ascends by the stream (during the ascent "we ignore" right turn-offs and we drive straight), and we drive along it to the right bend, by which we notice woodshed and above it residential house. We park at the beginning of the bend on an appropriate place by the road.
C) We leave Primorska motorway at Brezovica exit, then we continue driving in the direction of Dobrova and Polhov Gradec. Further, we drive through the Gradaščica valley, and we follow the main road towards Polhov Gradec to a smaller junction, where a road towards villages Osredek, Topol (Katarina) and Belo branches off to the right (turn-off from the main road is located a little before the beginning of village Hrastenice). When we arrive in village Topol first sharply to the left branches off road towards village Belo, a little further signs for Medvode direct us slightly to the left, on the road which gradually starts to descend (through the village we always continue on the main road). The road then descends for quite some time, and we drive along it to the beginning of settlement Trnovec. Here we will notice signs for Setnica (at the sign for Setnica are also signposts for Grmada and Tošč and open-door farm Gonte), which point us to the left on at first still asphalt road. The narrower road then ascends by the stream (during the ascent "we ignore" right turn-offs and we drive straight), and we drive along it to the right bend, by which we notice woodshed and above it residential house. We park at the beginning of the bend on an appropriate place by the road.

Path description:
From the starting point, we continue on at first still macadam road in the direction of Grmada, Tošč and Gonte. For a few minutes we ascend by the stream, then the road becomes asphalted and turns sharply to the left. Further, the road leads past a few houses, above which gradually a more beautiful view starts opening up, at first only on the nearby hills, and higher also farther. After approximately 50 minutes of ascent on a relatively steep road we arrive at open-door farm Gonte (farm is usually open on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays), above which is a marked junction.
From farm Gonte we continue right in the direction of Tošč (left Polhograjska Grmada) on a wide cart track, from which already after a few meters to the left branches marked footpath. We continue the ascent on the mentioned footpath, which passes into the forest and starts moderately ascending. The path ahead crosses some panoramic grassy slopes, then passes to the ridge of Mali Tošč, whose top we reach after a few minutes.
From Mali Tošč follows a short descent, then the path brings us to a smaller saddle, where from the right joins the path from Govejka. We continue in the direction of Tošč on a somewhat steeper path, which we then follow through the forest all the way to the top.
