Sv. Jakob (961 m) je med pohodniki priljubljena vzpetina nad Preddvorom. Vzpetina je dobila ime po istoimenski cerkvici iz 15. stoletja, ki stoji na samem vrhu. (vir (visit link) )
Najpogostejši dostop na vzpetino je skozi Preddvor, naselje Hrib ter mimo gradu Turn. Pot od parkirišca pri gradu do vrha povprecen pohodnik opravi v približno 45 minutah.
Najzgodnejši zapisi o cerkvici segajo v 15. stoletje. Njena notranjost je poslikana z gotskimi freskami, na katerih so upodobljeni prizori iz biblije in podoba sv. Krištofa. Cerkev je bila skozi cas veckrat obnovljena. Sedanji oltar je bil izdelan leta 1886.
Zahodno od cerkve je bilo leta 1985 odkrito arheološko najdišce iz poznoanticne dobe (5.–7. stoletje n. št.). Najdeni so bili razlicni predmeti staroselcev (košcen glavnik, ostanki oglja, kosti domacih živali, ostanki steklenih caš in keramicnih posod, železna pušcica, okroglo kovinsko zrcalo ...).
Ob sami cerkvici na pogorišcu nekdanje mežnarije od leta 1988 stoji tudi planinska koca Iskra. Ime je koca dobila, ker so jo zgradili delavci kranjskih Iskrinih obratov, ob pomoci dijakov in zaposlenih srednje šole Iskra (danes TŠC Kranj).
Z razgledne planjave pred planinsko koco se odpira razgled po ravnicah proti Kranju, Ljubljani in Škofji Loki. Izza Jakoba pa se dviga pobocje, imenovano Zaplata, z izstopajocim Hudicevim borštom.
Z Jakoba se je možno podati tudi na bližnje, višje vrhove:
Potoška gora (1283 m)
Javorov vrh (1434 m)
skozi Hudicev boršt na Kališce (1540 m)
Cjanovca (1820 m) in Srednji vrh (1853 m)
mimo Potoške gore na Dom Cemšenik (835 m)
Sv. Jakob (961 m) is a frequentlly visited hill above Preddvor. The hill got its name after the little church on the top of it, which was built in the 15th century.
To climb the hill one would usually drive through Preddvor, village Hrib and park at parking near castle Turn. It takes from 45 min to 1 hour to the top.
The church of Sv. Jakob (St Jacob) was built in the 15th century. The interior walls of the church are decorated with gothic frescoes depicting scenes from the Bible and Sv. Krištof. The church was restored a few times. Current altar was built in 1886.
Arcehological site from The Late Antique Period (5th to 7th century a.d.) was discovered west of the church. A lot of objects used by inhabitants of that period were found (comb made of bone, remains of charcoal, bones of domestic animals, remains of glass cups and ceramic pottery, iron arrow, round metalic mirror, etc.).
There is a mountain cottage Iskra near the church. The cottage got its name Iskra, because it was built by the workers of the Iskra company from Kranj.
There is a great view of Ljubljanska kotlina (Ljubljana, Škofja Loka and Kranj) from the top of the hill. Behind the hill of Sv. Jakob there is slope Zaplata with its outstanding Hudicev boršt (the only part of the slope populated by trees).
Sv. JaKob is a good starting point for climbing:
Potoška gora (1283 m)
Javorov vrh (1434 m)
skozi Hudicev boršt na Kališce (1540 m)
Cjanovca (1820 m) in Srednji vrh (1853 m)
