Sora - Osolnik (on footpath)

Access to starting point:
A) First, we drive to Medvode, then at the Spar store we leave the main road and continue towards the railway station and settlement Sora. In Sora, first the road towards Katarina branches off to the left, a little further ahead also towards Osolnik. We drive on the road towards Osolnik and then after a shorter ascent we park on the parking lot below the church of St. Stefan. We can also park a little lower on the parking lot by the presbytery.
B) From Kranj we drive towards Škofja Loka, from the outskirts of Škofja Loka we then follow the signs for Gorenja vas. Before the Sten tunnel, from the roundabout we take the exit in the direction of the settlement Sora. Further on, we drive through the settlements Hosta, Pungert, Gosteče and Draga, to the settlement Sora, where we turn right towards Osolnik and then after a shorter ascent we park on the parking lot below the church of St. Stefan. We can also park a little lower on the parking lot by the presbytery.
C) From Poljanska dolina we drive towards Škofja Loka and then along the bypass and through the Sten tunnel. After the tunnel we turn right and follow the signs for the settlement Sora. Further on, we drive through the settlements Hosta, Pungert, Gosteče and Draga, to the settlement Sora, where we turn right towards Osolnik and then after a shorter ascent we park on the parking lot below the church of St. Stefan. We can also park a little lower on the parking lot by the presbytery.

Route description:
At the beginning of the parking lot a marked footpath branches off to the left, which starts ascending through the forest. After a few minutes we cross an asphalt road which leads towards Osolnik (to here also possible on the road, if we parked on the upper part of the parking lot), and we continue on the marked path. We continue the ascent through the forest, at a few smaller junctions we follow the blazes. Higher the path reaches a side ridge, where it flattens and gets very close to the asphalt road. We continue a little right of the road, and the path quickly splits.
We continue slightly left (right Hom 15 minutes) and further we ascend diagonally on mostly southern slopes of Hom. When a little further we reach an indistinct small ridge, from the right the path from the top of Hom joins us, and we continue left and a little further we reach the asphalt road. The path continues along the road, occasionally on a marked path that runs right or left of the road. Further a quite gently sloping path then brings us to a junction, where from the left a marked path from Ločnica joins us, and we continue straight to the nearby junction and crossroads.
At the junction, at the sign we finally leave the road and continue the ascent on a gradually steeper mountain path. A little further from the right also joins an unmarked but fairly visited path from Gosteče.
Follows a few more minutes of steep ascent on the marked path and we reach the church of St. Mohor and Fortunatus on Osolnik, for a nice view it is worth walking a little further.
