Volča - Malenski vrh

Access to starting point:
First, we drive to Škofja Loka, and then we continue driving towards Gorenja vas. Before we get to Gorenja vas, at the traffic light crossroad we turn right into Poljane nad Škofjo Loko. The road through the valley quickly brings us to the village Volča. Because there are no appropriate parking spots here, we can leave the car on one of the parking lots in Poljane. This extends the path by a good 10 minutes.

Route description:
In Volča at the crossroad we follow the signpost, which from the main road points us left onto a smaller road. We soon turn right onto the road which quickly brings us to the church of St. Jurij. We continue on a cart track by the meadow upwards and at the crossroad we turn right. Up to here the path is poorly marked. The cart track quickly changes into a footpath which starts ascending towards the right. After crossing a larger meadow, the path brings us back onto a cart track, and we quickly reach the village Lom nad Volčo. An asphalt road then leads us past some homesteads. After a very short descent, we also ascend to the village Zakobiljek. When the path enters the forest, it starts ascending steeply and crosses several cart tracks. After a good half an hour of ascending, we get to the bottom part of a large meadow. The path along the edge of it leads vertically upwards. At the top, through the trees we can already notice the church. Only 2 more minutes of walking on the road separate us from it.
From the church, we go past the hayrack with a bench and a stamp and look for the beginning of an unmarked cart track which leads along the ridge slightly upwards. When it ends, on the left we can already see the peak without a view. We reach it along a worse footpath.

Along the route: Sv. Jurij (442m), Lom nad Volčo (593m), Zakobiljek (570m), Cerkev Marijinega vnebovzetja (Gora) (987m)
