Vrzdenec - Koreno (via Samotorica)

Access to starting point:
First, we drive to Horjul (to here from Dobrova or Vrhnika), then we continue driving towards Vrzdenec and Gorenja vas. In the first sharp left turn after the village of Vrzdenec, we will notice a narrow asphalt road which branches off to the right from the main road. We take this road, which after a shorter steep ascent brings us to the church of St. Kancian above Vrzdenec. We park on one of the parking lots near the church.

Route description:
A little further from the church, at the end of the road we will notice hiking signposts which direct us onto a cart track in the direction of Kožljek (we do not continue right in the direction of Koreno). The cart track, which starts ascending along the stream, brings us already after a minute of walking to an unmarked junction.
We continue right on the second cart track (the first to the right is quite overgrown, the left one disappears), which immediately after crossing the stream turns right and then ascends along its right bank. After a short ascent the cart track turns sharply left and begins gradually to distance itself from the stream. Further ahead the blazes become more frequent, and the path soon brings us to a marked junction, where we continue right in the direction of Samotorica (left at Hlipč). We continue the ascent on the cart track which higher brings us out of the forest onto panoramic grassy slopes. We continue the ascent on the increasingly wider cart track, which past the hunting observatory brings us to the church of St. Michael on Samotorica.
At the church we step onto the road which we follow to the right; it quickly brings us to a marked crossroads. We continue straight in the direction of Koreno (left Kožljek, right Horjul) on the road which gently ascends along the edge of the forest. After a few minutes of further walking along the road we notice blazes which direct us right onto a footpath. The marked path, which further proceeds along a cart track, immediately after the cross turns slightly left and begins gently to descend. The cart track path soon emerges from the forest onto grassy slopes, across which with a few shorter ascents and descents we reach the village of Koreno, where we step onto an asphalt road. We then follow the well-marked road to the farm tourism pr'Lenart, where the blazes direct us left onto a narrow road along which we ascend to the church of St. Mohor and Fortunat. From the church we continue on a poorly visible path which past a large cross brings us to a vantage point where a panorama board stands and below it a logbook box.
