Access to the starting point:
a) First, take the Ig, and from there continue in the direction of Iška vas and Iškega Vintgar. Just after Iška vas you will reach the village of Iška, where the road to Gornji Ig and Rakitna turns sharp right. Take the ascending road mentioned above, passing Gornji Ig and, higher up, the road branch to Krim. A few 100 m further on from the turnoff for Krim, you will reach a larger hayfield where the road is laid out, and on the other side of the hayfield it turns left and returns to the forest. Just a few metres before the road enters the woods, you will see the National Liberation Monument on your left and a suitable parking space next to it.
b) From the motorway Ljubljana - Koper take the exit Brezovica, then continue in the direction of Podpeč (Podpeč can also be reached from Črna vas or Ig). In Podpeč, continue in the direction of Borovnica, Krimo and Rakitna, and continue along the edge of the Ljubljana Marshes for a short distance, then the signs for Rakitna direct you to the left onto a steeply ascending road. The road then leads through Preserje, where it also begins to descend. After a short descent, continue left in the direction of Krimo and Rakitna, and we then follow the mostly ascending road to a junction where the road to Krimo branches off to the left. From this junction, turn left and continue along the dirt road. After a few kilometres, when the road emerges from the forest onto a larger hayfield, you will see the NOB monument right at the beginning and a suitable place to park next to it.
c) First drive to Cerknica, then continue in the direction of Begunje, and when you arrive in Begunje follow the signs for Rakitno. From Rakitna, continue along the main road towards Preserje, and follow it to the crossroads where the road to Krimo branches off to the right. From this junction, turn right and continue along the dirt road. After a few kilometres, when the road emerges from the forest onto a larger hayfield, you will see the NOB monument right at the beginning and a suitable place to park next to it.
Path description:
From the starting point, cart track begins near the NOB memorial and continues south-eastwards. Cart track goes immediately into the woods and splits after some 10 steps, while we continue on a slight left. There is a slight ascent, then a large clearing appears on the right, and before it we see some benches and, slightly to the right, a hunting lodge.
Do not climb the clearing and continue along cart track, which runs to the left of it. After the nearby hemlock stand, there are a few forks, but we choose the tracks that continue along the undefined wooded valley. When you reach the path marked by white triangles with a red border, continue to the left (if you continue to the right you can reach the farm Ustje).
Continue following the markings and you will soon see a small clearing on your left. In the part where the clearing is on our left, to the right of the marked trail there is a peak Mišnice, which can be reached after a steep climb of 10 steps on a trackless path. In winter, the summit offers some views, otherwise the view is blocked by the forest.
Description and pictures refer to the situation in 2016 (March).
