Zalog - Grebenc

Access to starting point:
From the highway Ljubljana - Jesenice, we take the exit Kranj west and follow the road ahead in the direction of Golnik. Soon after the village Tenetiše, we will notice signs for the village Goriče, which direct us right onto a local road. A little further on, we come to the next crossroad, where we continue right in the direction of the villages Trstenik and Preddvor. We don't follow this road for long either, because already after a few meters we will notice the sign with the inscription Zalog, which directs us left onto an ascending road, which we then follow to the mentioned village. In the middle of the village, a little before the church, we will notice a road that branches right from the main road. We turn onto this road, beside which we soon notice blazes. We follow this road for another approximately 1 km, then we park on one of the parking spaces along the road.

Path description:
From the starting point, we continue on the road beside which we parked; it gets progressively worse and brings us higher to the NOB monument, where we leave it and continue the ascent right on an ascending cart track. At the spot where the cart track, on which we continue the ascent, turns left, we will notice a footpath on the right side, which starts to ascend more steeply through the forest (the beginning is not marked).
The path along which we notice rare blazes then brings us past a smaller chapel to a poorly marked junction, beside which on a panoramic rise we notice a pleasant bench.
From the viewpoint, we continue on the path that ascends slightly right (left Mala Poljana) and goes into the forest after just a few steps, where it starts to ascend steeply. The path soon transitions onto a wide vegetated ridge, where it continues for quite some time.
A relatively steep path, which higher up turns somewhat to the right, then brings us after a while to a wide cart track, where we join the path from Povelj.
We continue straight on the ascending cart track, which brings us past the »snack bar« to the spot where a marked footpath branches left from the cart track. We can continue the ascent on the mentioned footpath, which ascends over grassy slopes, or on the cart track, which ascends along the edge of the forest. Both paths join higher up and bring us without difficulty to the cottage on Velika Poljana.
From the mountain pasture, we continue left in the direction of the cottage on Grebenc (cottage with green roof), which we reach after 3 minutes of further walking. Behind the cottage, at the viewpoint, we will notice a poorly visible footpath, which starts to ascend steeply towards the north. We head onto this path, which through a thin forest brings us to the upper slope of Grebenc. We follow this occasionally barely visible footpath, which in the upper part is also dangerous for slipping, all the way to Grebenc.
Zalog - Velika Poljana 2:00, Velika Poljana - Grebenc 20 minutes.
