Žlebe - Rog (via Turnice)

Access to starting point:
A) First, we drive to Ljubljana, and then we continue driving along Celovška cesta towards Medvode. When we get to Medvode, at the first traffic light we turn left across the railway track in the direction of Golo Brdo, Žleb and Preska. Behind the railway track we continue left (right Preska) in the direction of Medno, Golo Brdo and Žleb, after that a little further to the right (straight Medno). Only about 500 m ahead we get to the next crossroad, where at the beginning of the settlement Seničica we continue right (straight Golo Brdo) in the direction of the settlement Žlebe. When the residential houses of the settlement Seničica end we get to the forest, where at the crossroad we continue left towards the settlement Žlebe (also slightly right are signs for Žlebe - it is a circular road). Further, we drive on a slightly ascending road which we follow to a smaller saddle. On the saddle, we continue left on a macadam road which quickly brings us to the next crossroad, where we continue on the lower left road. From the crossroad, by which there are also hiking signposts, we drive only approximately 100 m, or to the left turn, by which there is a marked parking lot.
B) From Škofja Loka, Kranj or Vodice we drive to Medvode, from there we continue driving towards Ljubljana. At the last traffic light in Medvode, which is located about 100 m ahead of the Hofer store, we turn right across the railway track in the direction of Golo Brdo, Žleb and Preska. Behind the railway track we continue left (right Preska) in the direction of Medno, Golo Brdo and Žleb, after that a little further to the right (straight Medno). Only about 500 m ahead we get to the next crossroad, where at the beginning of the settlement Seničica we continue right (straight Golo Brdo) in the direction of the settlement Žlebe. When the residential houses of the settlement Seničica end we get to the forest, where at the crossroad we continue left towards the settlement Žlebe (also slightly right are signs for Žlebe - it is a circular road). Further, we drive on a slightly ascending road which we follow to a smaller saddle. On the saddle, we continue left on a macadam road which quickly brings us to the next crossroad, where we continue on the lower left road. From the crossroad, by which there are also hiking signposts, we drive only approximately 100 m, or to the left turn, by which there is a marked parking lot.

Route description:
From the parking lot, we continue on a cart track in the direction of Katarina, Jeterbenka and sv. Marjeta (left Petelinc), which continues on the left side of the stream. After some 10 steps we leave the mentioned cart track and continue right into the forest, where first we descend to the stream and also cross it. On the other side we gently ascend for a short time, then the path turns right and ascends more steeply. A little higher we arrive at a marked junction, where we have two options for continuing.
We can continue left in the direction of Jeterbenka or right on a path about a minute longer past the church of sv. Marjeta.
If we continue on the left path we will quickly get to the next junction, where another path to the mentioned church branches off to the right. Also here we continue left, then a little further at an unmarked junction slightly right upwards (left lower path leads to Jeterbenka "along the ridge" (of course the path reaches the ridge only a little higher)), where after a short ascent we join the cart track which leads from the church of sv. Marjeta.
We continue ascending on a relatively wide cart track, which leads us past the information board of the archaeological site on Gradišče. A few minutes further the path of Roparskih vitezov branches off to the right from our path, we continue straight on a somewhat steeper cart track. Just before the steepness eases the path of Roparskih vitezov rejoins us, the marked path turns somewhat more to the left and brings us over the ridge Turnice to the western slopes of Jeterbenka. The path ahead leads us across a meadow, from which some views open up temporarily, then it returns to the forest and brings us to a junction at a chapel.
From the mentioned junction, which is located at the edge of the forest, we continue straight (sharply left Jeterbenk, left Slavkov dom on Golem Brdu) on a scenic road, on which we quickly arrive at the next junction, from where we continue straight on a footpath which continues between two roads (left road leads towards Katarina, right towards the farm Kozomer). The path ahead quickly ascends to a bench and table, then continues for a short time along the edge of the forest, where a beautiful view opens up. Higher the path goes into the forest and brings us to the fore-summit, from which it descends past the hut to the cart track. On the cart track we ascend only for a short time, then at the place where the cart track turns somewhat to the right, we continue straight upwards on a well-trodden trail, which starts to ascend steeply across the hay meadow. Higher the path goes into the forest, where it ascends even steeper. When a little higher we step out of the forest we are already on the summit of Rog beside the large wooden cross.
