Jesenice (Ukova) - Kalvarija above Jesenice

Access to starting point:
From the highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we take the exit Lipce, where we drive right towards Jesenice. In the settlement Javornik at the crossroad with traffic lights we turn left towards the center of the town. At the second traffic light crossroad (at the secondary school) we drive right back towards Tomšičeva cesta past the primary school on the left. Behind the school we drive past the pedestrian crossing and immediately turn into the first (narrower) street on the left. When we ascend it for some 10 meters, on the right we see the marked parking lot. Here is our starting point.

Route description:
From the parking lot we continue on the road uphill, after which after some 10 meters on the left we notice the summer swimming pool Ukova, on the right the road which branches off uphill towards the north into the forest. We step onto the latter and follow it for a short time, i.e. to the right turn before which on the same side there is a fenced water intake. On the other - left side we step onto the path which cuts the double turn of the road we left. Here we encounter the first blazes. Quite quickly we cross the road again and step onto the path which begins to ascend towards the north. When it starts turning left, it joins the cart track alongside which we notice a signpost. Here we head right along the cart track, which quickly brings us to the first small bridge (Ukova stream), over which we immediately reach the second one as well. Behind it the path or cart track goes right uphill, then increasingly left towards the east. There follows some time of ascending on and alongside the winding cart track, where we always keep to the main - left path. When the steepness eases, on the right we notice what appears from here to be a smaller hillock (Kalvarija), and on the tree a signpost "kapelica" (chapel). We turn right uphill, after which we immediately reach the summit where a wooden chapel and a bench stand.

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