Olipova planina - Hrašenska planina

Access to starting point:
From the highway Ljubljana - Jesenice, we take the exit Lesce and follow the road ahead in the direction of Žirovnica and Jesenice. After a few km of driving, we arrive at an intersection, where the road to Žirovnica and Moste branches off to the right (from the direction of Jesenice, left). Only a few meters ahead, at the next intersection, we turn left towards Moste (right Žirovnica). Further on, we drive past the monument to the fallen fighters, where the road begins to ascend under the railway track. At the top of the hill, there is a turn right (at the sign Vila Karin), but we continue straight towards Završniško jezero and Valvasorjev dom. The road then flattens and brings us to an intersection, where the road to Valvasorjev dom branches off to the left. We take the mentioned road (straight Koča pri izviru Završnice), which first ascends gently, then steeper and steeper on an occasionally quite rough road (the steepest parts are asphalted). Higher up, the road brings us to a somewhat larger intersection, where we continue left towards Potoška planina (right Doslovška planina). The road then flattens and a little further brings us to the next intersection, where the road to Valvasorjev dom branches off to the right, and we continue on the left lower road, which then for quite some time continues without major changes in altitude. The road then leads us past the turn-off of the path to Ajdna and then starts to ascend steeper on an occasionally quite bad road. The road then flattens again and past Potoška planina brings us to the spring Urbas, near which there are a few smaller parking spots. We drive further, and the road leads us through some smaller intersections, where we always follow the most used one. The road then ascends steeply again and a little higher brings us to a larger parking lot, where we park.

Route description:
From the parking lot, we continue on a worse macadam road which gradually changes into a wide cart track, and it brings us past a trough, or water trough, to the edge of the mountain pasture Stamare, from which a nice view of the Julian Alps opens up.
From the mountain pasture, we continue right past the shepherd and hunting hut on at first a little poorly visible path, which goes higher into the forest and joins a wider path, which comes from the other part of the mountain pasture. Further, the path turns slightly right and starts to ascend steeply. Higher, the path leaves the forest onto slopes covered with dwarf pines and turns a little to the left. A gentle traversing ascent follows and the path brings us to the mountain pasture Hrašenska planina, where we notice a shepherd hut.
