Vrhnika-tankovska cesta - Koča na Planini nad Vrhniko (Circular path Vrhnika-Planina-Lintvern-Vrhnika)

Access to starting point:
If we come from the Ljubljana direction, we start the path on Tankovska cesta, to which we arrive if at the intersection at the last traffic light we turn right (bank, pharmacy...). After just under two kilometers of driving straight, we reach a macadam road beside which we park.

Route description:
From Tankovska cesta first on a narrow path, then to the houses on Storžev grič a few hundred meters along the road and we are already at the old fruit dryer, at which we continue on the middle path through dense hazel thicket, which in summer offers plenty of shade. Soon the path flattens for a while and we are already at the bench named "Zupanova". Here the path splits into the steeper right one via Špica or the gentler but somewhat longer left one. We choose the right path, which quickly ascends the ridge. To the top it is not far anymore, and the path becomes even a bit steeper. On the summit stands an old lookout tower from the year 1955, which will soon be replaced by a new one. In the cottage at the end of the week we can strengthen ourselves with good homemade food. We continue the path behind the cottage downhill towards Lintvern, where the stream Bela originates. Through the gorge we descend towards the cottage in Starem malnu, where there is a smaller water intake, and below it a renovated water wheel of the former mill. From here we continue along the road towards the starting point, which is approximately 2 km away.

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