Puštal (Na Dobravi) - Osolnik

Access to the starting point:
a) From the road Medvode - Škofja Loka, at the beginning of Škofja Loka, turn in the direction of Poljanska dolina, then after the Sten tunnel turn right towards Puštal. A little further on, take another right, then go through Puštal, where you go above the Sten tunnel. Just a little further on, a road branches off to the right, crossing the Hrastnica stream. At the crossroads, where there are no parking spaces, the route described above begins.

b) From Poljanska dolina, drive towards Škofja Loka, then before the Sten tunnel turn left towards Puštal, and at the next junction turn right. Continue through Puštal, where you go above the Sten Tunnel. Just a little further on, a road branches off to the right, crossing the Hrastnica stream. At the crossroads, where there are no parking spaces, the route described above begins.

Path description:
From the crossroads continue straight on (St Andrew's Church on the right) and walk past the houses of Puštal, just before the Puštal bus stop at Dolenec, turn slightly left onto the marked road which climbs parallel to the main road which continues along the Hratsnica valley (leave the main road at the house with house number Puštal 163). During the cross-climb, pass a few more houses and then continue along cart track, which turns into a forest. Through the woods, initially climb up a valley, usually with a small stream running through it, and then move away from the valley slightly to the left. A slightly steeper ascent follows, and at a small pass we join the other marked path from Puštal, and we continue to the right.
The way forward takes us through dense forest for some time, where we follow the markings. After a while, we step out of the forest onto a hayfield, where the path becomes slightly lost. Only a little higher we step on the cart track and follow it to the right, which quickly leads us to a small sign and the NOB monument, where we continue slightly to the left. After the monument, the path turns slightly to the right and leads us slightly higher into the lane of a forest.
When you re-emerge from the woods, you will see a lonely farmhouse on your left and a fenced pasture on your right. Continue straight ahead on the path into the forest, which soon leads to a macadam road, which you follow to the right. Walk along the road for a few minutes and then come to a crossroads, where you continue straight ahead, over the tarmac road to cart track. Continue on the marked cart track, which then has a few switchbacks in a short time, and we keep following the signs. Cart track turns into a footpath higher up, and this starts to climb steeply along a pasture fence. A little further on, the path from the village of Sora joins us from the left, and we continue to the right, and in a few 10 steps of further walking we arrive at the top of Osolnik, where the church of Sts. Mohory and Fortunatus stands.
