Stara Vrhnika - Koča na Planini nad Vrhniko (via Kuren)

Access to starting point:
From the highway Ljubljana - Koper we go to the Vrhnika exit, and then at the first traffic light we continue left in the direction of Logatec. On the old road towards Logatec we drive only some 10 meters, then signs for Horjul point us to the right. Further, we drive towards Horjul, and we follow the mentioned road to the spot where signs for Stara Vrhnika point us to the left. We continue driving through the mentioned settlement, and then we quickly arrive at the crossroads at the fire station. Here we park on a suitable place by the crossroads.

Route description:
From the crossroads at the fire station we continue straight on a slightly ascending road, which past the church of St. Lenart brings us to the crossroads at the NOB monument. Here we continue right and on the still ascending road we walk to the upper part of Stara Vrhnika, where at the end of the road mountain signposts for Planina and Kuren point us right onto a wide mountain path. We continue the path for some time through the forest, then twice cross an asphalt road. Just a little higher we come to a marked junction, where we continue straight in the direction of Planina (right Kuren 5 minutes). The path ahead leads us through the forest, gently to moderately ascending. Higher we get very close to the road, the marked path at this spot turns left and steeply ascends for a short time. Just a few minutes higher the marked path completely flattens and brings us to a macadam road which leads towards the Zavetišče na Planini nad Vrhniko. We follow the road left, which after less than 5 minutes of further walking brings us to the top, in the middle of which stands a wooden lookout tower.
Description and pictures refer to the condition in December 2010.
