Route description:
From the starting point, we continue on the road in the direction of Kranj, where we walk among houses of hamlet Nova vas, when we get to a smaller crossroad, where the road branches off to the left towards the house numbers 2, 4, 6, 8, 10..., we continue right on a side road, when some 10 steps ahead we arrive at the edge of the forest we continue on a cart track which a little ahead starts ascending through the forest.
Further, we ascend on a relatively steep cart track which higher brings us to a smaller junction. We continue on the right wider cart track, and it soon splits again. We again continue on the right cart track, on which a smaller wooden signpost with the inscription Rovnik also directs us. At the next junction, we choose the left cart track, on which we walk only a short time because then on the left side we notice a beaten footpath which starts moderately ascending through the forest. The path higher brings us to a panoramic clearing, where we cross a cart track, and we continue on the path, on which in a few minutes of additional walking, we reach the forested peak Rovnik.

We recommend: trips from the same starting point, similar trips
