Access to starting point:
If we come from Ljubljana side, we start at the road Tankovska cesta, to which we come, if at the crossroad at the last traffic light we turn right (bank, pharmacy...). After a little less than two kilometers of driving straight, we get to a macadam road, by which we park.
Path description:
From the road Tankovska cesta, we at first go on a narrow path, and then to houses on Storžev grič few hundred meters on the road and we are already at the old fruit dryer, where we go ahead on the middle path through a dense hazel shrubs, which in the summer offers a shade. Soon the path for some time flattens and we are already at the bench, which is named "Zupanova". Here the path is divided on steeper right via Špica or gentle, but a little longer left. We choose the right path, which quickly ascends on the ridge. To the top, it isn't far anymore, and the path becomes even a little steeper. On the summit stands an old lookout tower from the year 1955, which will be soon replaced by the new one. In the cottage, on the end of the week we can have a snack with good homemade food. We continue behind the cottage downwards towards Lintvern, where the stream Bela originates. Through the gorge, we descend towards the cottage Koča v Starem malnu, where there is a smaller water catchment, and below it a renovated wheel of a former mill. From here we continue on the road towards the starting point, which is distant approximately 2 km.
