Path description:
From the lower station of the round-cabin cable car at Krvavec, continue along the asphalt road towards Štefanja Gora, and walk along it to the first left turn, in the middle of which a marked path, initially even worse, branches off to the right towards Krvavec. The weaker road, along which we continue our ascent, climbs up the right bank of the Rijeka River, and soon a marked path branches off to the left, leading to Krvavec, while we continue straight ahead, following cart track, which climbs further through Lukenjski graben (Lukenjski graben). At a few crossroads we follow the main cart track, from which we start to get higher views that reach all the way to Triglav. Cart track becomes quite rocky further on, but when it leads us higher up to a large gravel area, we continue to the right on a macadam road, which we climb gently to the right and gradually leave Lukenjski graben. When you reach the crest of Požeg Hill (1076 m) a little further on, the road turns sharp left and then joins the asphalt road leading to Krvavec a few minutes further on. The road takes a few minutes to climb up to the tourist farm pr Ambružarju, from where a beautiful view of the Gorenjska region opens up.
