Access to starting point:
From the Ljubljana - Jesenice highway we head to the Podnart (Ljubelj) exit, then continue driving on the fast road towards Ljubelj and Tržič. When the fast road ends, we will notice a gas station on the right side, in front of which we turn right downwards towards Tržič. We continue driving through Tržič, but follow the narrower road towards Dovžanova soteska gorge and then through the villages Dolina and Jelendol to Medvodje, where we park on the marked parking lot by the nearby crossroad.
Route description:
From the parking lot, we continue on the right road in the direction of Storžič, Stegovnik and Stegovniški slap waterfall (left - Košutnik, Košutnikov turn and mountain pasture Dolga njiva on a marked path), after some 10 steps we continue straight (right - Stegovniški slap waterfall). The path ahead leads us on a macadam road which continues along Tržiška Bistrica, and when we get to a crossroad at the confluence of the rivers Tržiška Bistrica and Fevča, we continue on the left road which continues by Tržiška Bistrica. Higher, the road turns sharply left and only some 10 steps ahead brings us to a crossroad, where we continue straight (right - we can get to the mountain pasture Brsnina). Next follows a diagonal ascent on occasionally panoramic slopes, and then we reach the saddle between Medvodnica on the left and Črna peč on the right, where there is a crossing of multiple paths.
We continue slightly left on a wide cart track (left - the road which a little ahead ends, straight downwards - a cart track which leads towards the road Medvodje - Košutnik, and to the right continues the road which ends below Črna peč).
Next follows a moderate ascent on a cart track, from which a little further a nice view opens up towards Košuta, and a little higher we reach the ridge of Medvodnica, where the cart track narrows a little. Next follows a few minutes of walking to the end of the cart track, and from there in a few steps we ascend to the indistinct peak of Medvodnica.
