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. Park in the large parking lot at the lower station of the round-cabin cable car to Krvavec, buy a ticket and take the cable car to the upper station, which is located next to the Mountain House at Gospinec.

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 round-cabin cable car to Krvavec and Štefanja Gora). When the steepness of the steep road eases slightly, you will come to a junction, 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 you pass the church of St Ambrose and the tourist farm Pr Ambružarju on the left. From the tourist farm the road passes into the forest and climbs through it to mountain pasture Jezerec, where there is a large parking lot. The road here is laid and turns left, and about 500 m further on it leads to a crossroads, where you continue slightly left (to the right Kriška mountain pasture). You then drive along a dirt road for some time or to the upper station of the round-cabin cable car. The road from mountain pasture Jezerec to Dom na Gospincu is now closed to public traffic, which will extend the journey by about 30 minutes.

Path description:
At the top station of the circular cable car to Krvavec you will see a number of mountain signs. We head in the direction of the Krvavec home and Marija Snežna on a poorly visible path that climbs up the grassy slope almost straight up. The faintly visible path leads us higher up over a pasture fence, beyond which it becomes slightly more traceable. A relatively steep path then leads to the Krvavec home, which is visible from the upper cable car station (you can also get here by a less good dirt road).
From home, continue in the direction of Zvoh along the road which leads us past the chapel and transmitters on Krvavec to the Razor saddle (the saddle between the top of Krvavec and Velika Zvoh), where there is a crossroads. Continue straight along the ridge (right Krvavec peak for 5 minutes) to the next crossroads, where the signs for Dolgo njiva direct you left (straight Velika Zvoh). The path to Dolgo njiva then crosses the ski slope and leads to a slope partly covered with dwarf pines. After a while, the crossing path leaves the Krvavec ski resort area via a wire fence. The trail then begins to descend, first through dwarf pines and then crosses some small and partly overgrown scree fields. The path then stops descending and the path from Kokra (via Lojtra) joins us on the left. After a few steps of walking, the path leads to the old shepherd's hut at mountain pasture Dolga njiva.
From this hut, continue along the left-hand side of mountain pasture along a less visible path which, after 5 minutes' further walking, leads to another, restored hut. Again, keep slightly left and the path, which is still poorly visible, soon leads into the dwarf pines zone, where it becomes more distinct. This is followed by crossing a short steep rubbly slope, and then, in a few minutes of pleasant walking through meadows covered with dwarf pines, the gently sloping path leads to the crossroads at Škrbini.
Here, continue to the right in the direction of Krvavec across Ježa on a path that climbs moderately up a slope covered with dwarf pines. After about 15 minutes of ascent, the path leads to a crossroads where we continue sharp left in the direction of Vrh Korena, which we reach after a minute of further walking. Dom na Gospincu - Long Field 1:35, Long Field - Vrh Korena 50 minutes.
