a must stop for donuts

Easy route, no heavy climbing, with interesting final destination Mengška koča - Menges cotage, nice restourant with fine local food. Nice tour for children.

The town of Jable stands in the immediate vicinity of the village of Loka pri Mengšu on the western edge of Mengeško polje and is first mentioned in sources for the first time in 1268. On the edge of the rocky slopes, from which the brook originates, it has an extremely strategic position with control over the Menges polje and its hinterland is protected by large forests stretching towards Rasica. Under the rocky cliff, on which the castle stands, there is also a karst cave, through which flowing stream flows, which is also filled with a small castle pond. The castle serves for protocol matters, events, seminars, lectures, celebrations, weddings, ...

The top of Stanet Kosca - 641m, better known as Rasica, is located north of Ljubljana, more precisely above the villages Rasica and Dobeno. From the top on which there is a 17 m high viewing tower, we open a nice view across much of central Slovenia. Just a few meters below the summit, there is also a mountain home of the Rasiške Boje in Rašica where they serve us with a drink and good food. Recommended access to the hut from the valley is on foot for many easier access routes or mountain bikes.

Mengeška koča on Gobavica stands at 433m above sea level and offers a break between the green, forested surroundings and unspoilt nature where you can refresh yourself with food and drink. Children can play games or watch a smaller zoo. The hut can be reached on foot or by car, and is also the starting point for lighter hiking trips.
