Žlebe - Jeterbenk (western way)

Access to starting point:
Access from Ljubljana: From Ljubljana we drive towards Medvode but only to the village of Medno. Here we turn left and drive past the hotel after which we soon come to an intersection, where we continue left towards Golem brdo and Žlebe. The road then takes us through Seničica, where we continue right in the direction of Žleb. A little further the road splits into two parts, where it says Žlebe left and right. Here we continue on the left road, in the next intersection left on the lower road. The road then takes us past some houses after which in a sharp right turn we notice a marked parking lot, where we park.
Access from Medvode: From Medvode we drive towards Ljubljana. At the last traffic light in Medvode we turn right across the railway and then continue left. At the intersection just before the hotel in Medno we turn right and the road then takes us to the village Seničica. Further follow the above description.

Route description:
WARNING: The path across the meadow is permanently closed and impassable!
The original path that led across the meadow has been abolished due to the closure of private land. A safe and marked bypass has been arranged.

From the parking lot we continue along the road, which after 100m of walking brings us to mountain signposts by the road. Here we continue sharply left between the two roads across the meadow moderately uphill. During the ascent across the meadow we cross a small stream from which we can already nicely see the church of Sveta Marjeta. The path ahead brings us to a gravel road (access also possible along it), which we follow uphill. After a few minutes of walking on the road we reach the church next to which there are some benches and tables. From the church we continue along the wide path ahead, which soon brings us to a junction of paths, where it says Jeterbenk left, Katarina right. Here although we are heading to Jeterbenk we continue on the right path in the direction of Katarina (the left path is steeper). The wide path after a few more minutes of gentle ascent brings us to the next junction, where we continue on the left upper path (both paths merge higher up), which starts to ascend more steeply. After a short ascent the paths merge and the path leads us out of the forest onto a larger clearing from which a view opens towards Sveti Jakob. Further the path joins a poorer forest road, which after a few steps of walking brings us to a junction of several paths.
Here we continue sharply left and past a chapel ascend gently to the summit slope of the mountain. After a few minutes the path narrows and ascends steeply. The ascent does not last long as the path after only five minutes brings us to the scenic summit.
