Žlebe - Jeterbenk (on ridge)

Access to starting point:
A) First, we drive to Ljubljana, then we continue driving along Celovška cesta towards Medvode. When we arrive in Medvode, at the first traffic light we turn left across the railway track in the direction of Golo Brdo, Žleb and Preska. Behind the railway track we continue left (right Preska) in the direction of Medno, Golo Brdo and Žleb, then a little further right (straight Medno). Only about 500 m ahead we arrive at the next crossroad, where at the beginning of the settlement Seničica we continue right (straight Golo Brdo) in the direction of the settlement Žlebe. When the residential houses of the settlement Seničica end we arrive in the forest, where at the crossroad we continue left towards the settlement Žlebe (also slightly right are signs for Žlebe - it is a circular road). Further on, we drive on a slightly ascending road, which we follow to a smaller saddle. On the saddle we continue left onto a macadam road, which quickly brings us to the next crossroad, where we continue on the lower left road. From the crossroad, by which there are also hiking signposts, we drive only approximately 100 m, or to the left turn, by which there is a marked parking lot.
B) From Škofja Loka, Kranj or Vodice we drive to Medvode, from there we continue driving towards Ljubljana. At the last traffic light in Medvode, which is located about 100 m ahead from the Hofer store, we turn right across the railway track in the direction of Golo Brdo, Žleb and Preska. Behind the railway track we continue left (right Preska) in the direction of Medno, Golo Brdo and Žleb, then a little further right (straight Medno). Only about 500 m ahead we arrive at the next crossroad, where at the beginning of the settlement Seničica we continue right (straight Golo Brdo) in the direction of the settlement Žlebe. When the residential houses of the settlement Seničica end we arrive in the forest, where at the crossroad we continue left towards the settlement Žlebe (also slightly right are signs for Žlebe - it is a circular road). Further on, we drive on a slightly ascending road, which we follow to a smaller saddle. On the saddle we continue left onto a macadam road, which quickly brings us to the next crossroad, where we continue on the lower left road. From the crossroad, by which there are also hiking signposts, we drive only approximately 100 m, or to the left turn, by which there is a marked parking lot.

Route description:
From the parking lot, we continue on a cart track in the direction of Katarina, Jeterbenk and St. Marjeta (left Petelinc), which continues on the left side of the stream. After some 10 steps we leave the mentioned cart track and continue right into the forest, where we first descend to the stream and also cross it. On the other side we gently ascend for a short time, then the path turns right and ascends more steeply. A little higher we arrive at a marked junction, where we continue left (right church of St. Marjeta 3 minutes) and at the nearby next one again left. A little further the path splits into two parts, we continue on the lower left (right Jeterbenk over Turnice), which further on is unmarked for some time, but is marked at most junctions.
From the unmarked junction we first lightly descend to a smaller gully, then gently ascend to a cart track, which we follow left; we walk along it to the place where the "Petelinc" signs direct us right onto a steeper path, on which in a few minutes we arrive at a hay meadow (a bench is located at the edge of the hay meadow), over which we ascend steeply. The path ahead returns to the forest and brings us past ruins to a marked junction, where we join the marked path from Slavkov dom on Golo Brdo.
Here we continue right and begin to ascend along the ridge of Jeterbenk, from which we occasionally get a bit of a view towards the south. Higher we reach a sort of forepeak, from which we descend to a smaller saddle, where we join the path from Katarina. Here we continue straight and in a few steps reach the summit, in the middle of which stands a large cross.

The trip can be extended to the following destinations: Sveta Katarina (Topol) ( 30 min), Rog ( 35 min), Sveti Jakob (1 h 10 min)

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