Access to the starting point:
a) From the motorway Ljubljana - Jesenice take the exit Naklo (you can also take the exit for Tržič), then follow the signs for Kropa. At Podnart, after crossing the Sava River, continue left, then pass the turnoff for Ovsiše, and in a few kilometres you will reach a crossroads where you turn left in the direction of Češnjice pri Kropa. Follow Lipnica, then at the crossroads take the road in the direction Na Kajžah (right Na Kmetih). Continue through Češnjica, and at the end of the settlement you will reach a crossroads located on a small pass, where there is also a directional road sign for Rovte. Park in a suitable place near the crossroads.
b) From the motorway Jesenice - Ljubljana, take the exit Lesce or Radovljica, then continue in the direction of Radovljica and later the villages Lancovo, Lipnica, Kamna Gorica and Kropa, which you do not enter. Continue towards Podnart, and then a few kilometres before the village turn right in the direction of Češnjica pri Kropa, then cross Lipnica, and at the crossroads take the road in the direction of Na Kajžah (right Na Kmetih). Continue through Češnjica, and at the end of the village you will come to a crossroads located on a small pass, where there is also a signpost for Rovte. Park in a suitable place near the crossroads.
c) From the road Dražgoše - Zgornja Besnica, in the hamlet of Log, take the side road in the direction of Njivica and Rovt and further on towards Češnjica pri Kropa. At the beginning of Češnjice, you will reach a small pass and a crossroads where the described footpath begins. Park in a suitable place near the crossroads.
Path description:
From the starting point, follow the side road westwards, along which you will see markings, and from there, follow the sign marking the start of the forest road to the right onto the marked footpath. Continue ascending along the footpath or cart track, which you follow at the crossroads in the direction of the markers. Higher up, the path becomes slightly steeper, and then leads to the former hunting lodge Petelinovec, where it joins the marked path from Kropa, and a few steps further on, it joins the asphalt road, which you follow to the left. The road leads past a cross, a chapel and a NOB memorial, and then you reach a signpost marking the beginning of the municipality of Kranj.
A little further on, we reach the settlement Jamnik, where the path to Vodiška mountain pasture branches off to the right, and we continue from the road to the left along the marked path, initially still on the road, towards the church of St Primož and Felicijan on Jamnik. After a nearby hamlet, the road finally turns into cart track, which leads us first along fine views and then through lane of the forest. When the forest ends again, we have already reached a scenic ridge, where another path from the Jamnik settlement joins us from the right, and we continue along the scenic ridge all the way to the top of the hill, where the aforementioned church is located.
