Getting There

Park near the primary school in Dolenja Trebuša²
Cross the stream (Hotenja), then turn left and follow signs for Oblakov Vrh. It will take you a bit more than an hour to get there.
On the way back, take a narrower, steeply ascending asphalt road on the first left hairpin.
When you get to a fork, stop and enjoy the view. If you don’t have a mountain bike, turn around and use the main road to return to Dolenja Trebuša (the descent ahead of us is somewhat brutal).
Still with me? Take the left road.
The asphalt road will eventually turn into a well-maintained gravel road, cross another meadow, and start descending.
Take a sharp left onto a narrower half-forgotten washed-out gravel road (I found a wooden sign for Trebuša).
When you reach the valley, turn right and keep going straight until you return to Dolenja Trebuša.

I never understood why Slovenians insist on calling saddles peaks, but there you go. ↩︎
I started a bit further up the Hotenja valley as I decided to stay in Dolenja Trebuša for a few days. ↩︎
