There are no parking spaces at the starting point.
Path description:
With a little effort, you will see signs for Krvavec and Ambrož pod Krvavcem near the farm, which will direct you to a side road that branches off the main road to the north. The path ahead takes you past a few houses, a chapel, and at the end of the settlement you reach an ecological island, at which you continue left to a nearby signpost.
Go around the sign on the right, and the cart track turns into a forest. In the forest, first go straight ahead and then right in the direction of Martin's path. There is a few minutes' cross-climb to the right, where you walk along a forest track, then reach a fork in the track, and continue slightly right, again in the direction of Martin's path. Higher up, the track has several more forks, but we follow the better-kept cart track, or the one with the signs for Martin's Way (some forks are not marked, so orientation is quite difficult). We then follow the forest track, with its many forks, all the way to the registration box at Prgozdnik.
Description and pictures refer to the situation in 2019 (April).
