Čepulje - Archangel Gabriel (Planica)

Access to the starting point:
a) First drive to Kranj (Labore) and from there continue in the direction of Stražišče, Pševo and Svetje Jošto nad Kranjem. Higher up, we reach the village of Javornik, from which a road branches off to the right towards the top of Jošto, and we continue straight on in the direction of Čepulje. When you reach Čepulje, continue to the right (Planica and Lavtarski Vrh on the left) and continue driving for about 100 m to a marked parking area.
b) Take the road to Škofja Loka and then continue driving towards Železniki. After Bukovica, leave the main road towards Železniki and turn right towards Ševlje and Bukovščica. After Bukovščica, the road starts to climb steeply, passing through the settlement of Strmica. After this settlement, the asphalt ends briefly, and when it reappears, you will quickly reach a marked parking area just before the beginning of the village of Čepulje.
c) First drive to Železniki, then continue towards Škofja Loka. At Dolenjja vas or a little beyond, leave the main road and turn left in the direction of Šavlje and then towards Bukovščice. After Bukovščica, the road starts to climb steeply, and in the meantime it leads through the village of Strmica. After this settlement, the asphalt ends briefly, and when it reappears, you will quickly reach a marked parking area just before the beginning of the village of Čepulje.

Path description:
From the starting point, walk to the signpost marking the beginning of the settlement Čepulje, then continue to the crossroads in Čepulje, at which the Na Sedlu Inn is located.
From the crossroads, follow the road on the left (towards Planica and Lavtarski Vrh) and continue past the Inn Na sedlu.
From the crossroads, the road first descends gently and then begins to climb gradually towards Planica. Slightly higher up, signs point slightly left to the marked cart track, which climbs parallel to the road for a while, then returns to it at the NOB monument.
At the monument, the path from Crngrob joins us from the left, and we continue along the asphalt road in the direction of Planica. From the monument, the road climbs quickly to Planica, where, just before the first house in the village, we take a sharp right (towards Cerkev). Continue past the cross on the path, which quickly turns into a forest, through which it starts to climb steeply. Follow this slightly steeper path in the last part, most of which goes through the forest, all the way to the top, which is reached after a few minutes of further walking.
