Smrečje - Koča na Vrhu Svetih Treh Kraljev (via Jereb)

Access to starting point:
A) From the Ljubljana - Koper highway, take the Vrhnika exit, then continue driving on the parallel old road towards Logatec. Soon we will notice signs for Stara Vrhnika, which direct us to the right. We follow the road to Stara Vrhnika and further towards Podlipa and Velika Ligojna. After Stara Vrhnika we leave the main road and continue left in the direction of Podlipa and Smrečje. After Podlipa the road starts ascending more steeply, and higher the road from Horjul also joins from the right. Here we continue slightly left and follow the occasionally somewhat narrower road to the signpost which marks the end of the municipality of Vrhnika. Here we park in a suitable place by the road.
B) From Horjul past Vrzdenec we drive towards Gorenja vas. In the first sharp right turn, the road branches off to the left towards the village Šentjošt nad Horjulom. We take this road and follow it to the next crossroad, where we turn right (left downhill to Vrhnika). The road then soon brings us to the village Smrečje. We follow it through the village and then park on one of the smaller parking areas by the road.
C) From Škofja Loka along the regional road we drive to Žiri, and from there we take the road which runs along the Račeva River upwards in the direction of the village Smrečje and Žirovski Vrh. We follow the road further in the direction of Smrečje and Vrh Svetih Treh Kraljev. Before we reach the village Smrečje, a road branches sharply to the right towards Vrh Svetih Treh Kraljev. We park on one of the parking areas by the road near the crossroad.

Route description:
From the starting point we continue on the asphalt road, which starts moderately descending towards Žiri; after a short descent it brings us to a marked intersection, where we continue left upwards in the direction of Vrh Svetih Treh Kraljev. The road then brings us out of the forest, where to the left a road branches off to Rovte, we continue straight and follow the road to the place where it returns to the forest. Here on the left side we will notice a marked footpath, which moderately ascends through the forest. Higher we cross the asphalt road and join it a little higher.
We continue the winding ascent on the asphalt road, to which from the right a marked path from Račevo Lake also joins. Only a little higher the road splits into two parts, and we continue on the right road in the direction of Vrh Svetih Treh Kraljev and Petrač (the left path is somewhat shorter). We walk along the road only a short time longer, then the markers direct us left onto an ascending and in the upper part quite panoramic cart track. Higher the cart track levels out and bypasses the Jereb farm on the left side. Above the farm we join the asphalt road, along which we walk to the mountain hut on Vrh Svetih Treh Kraljev in a few minutes.

The trip can be extended to the following destinations: Vrh Svetih Treh Kraljev
