Preval - Mladi vrh

Access to starting point:
A) From Škofja Loka we drive towards Železniki or vice versa, but only to the village of Praprotno, where signs for Stari vrh direct us to the left (from the direction of Železniki after the village of Bukovica we continue sharply right) onto the road that brings us to the foot of the ski centre Stari vrh. We continue on the asphalt road, which a little further brings us to an intersection, where we continue sharply left in the direction of the village Zapreval. From Zapreval we continue driving towards the village Javorje, but only to a smaller pass named Preval. Here we notice signs for guesthouse Stari vrh - right, while we continue left, where we park on the parking lot by the road.
B) We drive to Poljane nad Škofjo Loko, from where at the traffic-light intersection we continue in the direction of the settlement Javorje. When Poljane end, the road leads us through Volča, and after the mentioned settlement the road starts to ascend more steeply. Higher up we go through Dolenčice as well, then we arrive in Javorje, where we turn left in the direction of Stari vrh and Blegoš. A little further, in the settlement Murave we turn right towards Stari vrh and the settlement Četena Ravan (straight ahead Blegoš and Žetina). After Četena Ravan there follow some more traverses, then we arrive at the intersection at Preval, where we turn left (straight ahead Zapreval and Škofja Loka) and park on the parking lot by the road.

Route description:
From Preval we continue in the direction of family park Stari vrh and guesthouse Stari vrh. We continue on the ascending asphalt road which leads us along the edge of the ski slope, higher also past family park Stari vrh. We continue on the asphalt road, from which soon slightly to the left the circular paths "med gorami, Valentinova and hunting path" branch off. There follow a few minutes of traverse ascent and we arrive at Koča na Starem vrhu.
From the hut we continue ahead, bypassing the upper station of the six-seater chairlift Stari vrh on the left side, where we continue on the cart track which crosses the ski slope and enters the forest. Through the forest we ascend on the cart track which makes a few hairpins, at the junctions following the blazes. Higher we cross the ski slope once again, then along the edge of the forest we ascend to a log cabin, where the path past the playground returns into the forest. There follow another ten or so steps and we arrive at Stari vrh; for a nice view it is worth continuing another approximately 10 minutes to the vantage point, where there are a bench, table and summit register box.
From the vantage point there follows a fairly steep descent to the saddle Prehodi, where the hunting path and the path from Podvrh join us from the left.
We continue straight towards Mladi vrh, Koprivnik and Blegoš. The path ahead ascends through the forest and mostly follows the forested southeastern ridge of Mladi vrh. Higher we follow the blazes, the ridge turns slightly to the right, so we continue walking towards the north. There follow a few more minutes of ascent and the path brings us to Mladi vrh, where there is a bench and from which some views open up.
