Access to the starting point:
Take the Litija road to Ljubljana, where the route described above starts at the Štepanja vas bus stop (the bus stop is located near the junction with Kajuhovo cesta). There are no parking spaces at the starting point.
Path description:
From the bus stop on the south side of the Litija road, continue east, then before the first house, go right onto the forest path. Through the woods, first climb along the fence, then follow the better-trodden path. At a higher altitude, you will reach the wider cart track, which you can continue on, or you can follow the better-beaten track, which climbs to the nearby 438-metre-high Luknje Hill.
Whichever way you continue, a little further on you join the narrow macadam road that leads past the observatory at Golovec. When you reach this road, continue left and then, without any major changes in elevation, continue to the junction with the wider macadam road, which you can only cross. After crossing the road, you will reach the Path of Remembrance and Comradeship. Follow the path to the left, and after a few short climbs it leads to Črni hrib, which can be identified by a monument, a bench and a rubbish bin.
From the summit, descend slightly, and then the signs for Orle, from the Path of Remembrance and Comradeship, direct you slightly to the right. Continue along the winding forest path, which quickly splits into two parts.
Take the upper left path (slightly right Orle - the path that goes around the top of Mazovnik), which will take you to the top of Mazovnik within a minute's walk.
From Mazovnik we continue towards Orla, where we soon join up with the trail bypassing the Mazovnik peak, and we follow the wider trail at the next crossroads. After a short descent, we reach the wider cart track, which we follow to the right, and then retrace the signs for Orle. A little further on, we reach an asphalt road leading to Orle, which we cross and continue to the left, following cart track, which runs slightly to the right of the asphalt road. We soon return to the road, and then follow it for a few minutes to reach the Orle Inn, which offers some views.
Starting point - Mazovnik 1:00, Mazovnik - Orle 45 minutes.
