Ambrož pod Krvavcem - Kriška planina

Access to the starting point:
a) From the motorway Ljubljana - Jesenice, take the exit Vodice, then continue to the first semaphore crossing in Vodice, where you turn left towards Cerkelj na Gorenjskem and Brnik. When you reach the main roundabout at Spodnji Brnik, continue driving in the direction of Cerkeliai and the ski resort Krvavec. At the end of Cerklje na Gorenjskem, leave the main road, which continues towards Velesovo and Visoke, and turn slightly right onto the road towards the ski resort Krvavec. Continue to the village of Grad, where the signs for Ambrož pod Krvavcem direct you to the right on a steep asphalt road (straight ahead to the lower station of the circular cable car to Krvavec and Štefanja Gora). When the steepness of the steep road eases slightly, you will come to a crossroads, where you will continue to the left in the direction of Ambrož pod Krvavcem (straight ahead to the settlements of Ravne, Apno and Šenturška Gora). A little further on, the road descends a little and then climbs over slopes that are sometimes quite scenic. Higher up, you reach Ambrož pod Krvavcem, where there is a large parking lot near the open-door farm of Pr Ambružar. The parking lot is for guests of the farm, and if you ask permission, they will almost certainly let you park.

Path description:
From the tourist farm we return to the main road, and from there we continue a few steps further to the left on the path in the direction of Krvavec. The path continues along the hemlock plantation, and crosses the asphalt road at a higher level. After a fairly steep climb, mostly through the forest, we once again approach the road or reach it for a few steps. Immediately turn right in the direction of mountain pasture Jezerec and climb gently to moderately. Quickly reach cart track, which leads out of the forest to mountain pasture Jezerca, where there are a few wooden huts.
Continue past a few huts, and then, after the huts on the left, the path from the large marked parking lot at mountain pasture Jezerec joins the path from the large marked parking lot at mountain pasture Jezerec. Continue in the direction of Kriška planina, following the path which, first with fine views and then partly through the forest, leads to the lower part of Kriška planina, from where you can climb up to one of the shepherd's huts at mountain pasture.
Description and pictures refer to the situation in 2016 (May).
