Praproče - Mali vrh

Access to starting point:
From Horjul or Dobrova we drive to Polhov Gradec, and then we continue driving towards Gorenja vas. Only a little after Polhov Gradec, in the settlement Briše, we continue driving right and then drive towards the village Praproče (turn-off from the main road is marked and is situated at the bus stop). Further, we drive on a narrow and steep road which quickly brings us to the village Praproče. We follow the road to the upper part of the village, where we come to a smaller crossroads by which we notice a cross and hiking signposts.
At the starting point, there aren't any appropriate parking spots. So we can park a little lower on an appropriate place by the road, or we drive with a car a little further and then we park on an appropriate place by the road.

Route description:
From the starting point we head onto the initially still asphalted road in the direction of Mali vrh. The road first slightly descends, and then brings us to a panoramic grassy ridge, from which a nice view opens up towards Koreno and Črni vrh. We continue on the ascending road which, past a hamlet of a few houses, brings us to the edge of the forest.
After a few minutes of additional walking, the road splits into two parts. The right one leads towards Setnik, and we continue on the slightly left one, which after a short ascent brings us to a water supply structure, after which an unmarked path from the church of St. Martin joins.
We go right and continue the ascent on the often quite muddy cart track, which we follow to the upper grassy slope of Mali vrh. When we step out of the forest, only a short walk on the more and more scenic path separates us from the top.

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