Vrzdenec - Sveti Mihael na Samotorici

Access to starting point:
First, we drive to Horjul (to here from Dobrova or Vrhnika), and then we continue driving towards Vrzdenec and Gorenja vas. In the first sharp left turn after the village Vrzdenec, we will notice a narrow asphalt road which branches off to the right from the main road. We then take this road, which after a short 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 (slightly right Koreno). The cart track, which starts ascending beside 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, and the left one vanishes), which immediately after we have crossed the stream turns right and then ascends along its right bank. After a short ascent, the cart track turns sharply left and gradually starts distancing itself from the stream. Further ahead, blazes become more frequent, and the path soon brings us to a marked junction, where we continue right in the direction of Samotorica (left pri Hlipč). We continue the ascent further on the cart track, which higher up brings us out of the forest onto panoramic grassy slopes. We continue the ascent on the ever-widening cart track, which past the hunting observatory brings us to the church of St. Michael on Samotorica.

The trip can be extended to the following destinations: Koreno (1 h), Kožljek ( 20 min)

We recommend: trips from the same starting point, similar trips, panorama, summit register
