Dražgoše (Jelenšče) - Dražgoška gora

Access to the starting point:
a) Drive to Železniki, then continue to Dražgoše. Follow the main road through Dražgoše to the part of the village called Na Pečeh, where you turn slightly left onto a side road in the direction of Bičkova skala, Dražgoška gora and the hamlet of Jelenšče. Above the hamlet of Jelenšče, continue along the forest road, but only as far as the first crossroads, where you can park at a suitable place by the mountain signs.
b) Drive to Kranj, then follow the signs for Besnica (the turnoff from the old road Ljubljana - Kranj is before the bridge over the Sava River, or after the bridge if you are coming from the direction of Kranj). Continue through Spodnja, Zgornja Besnica and Njivica. A little further on, you arrive in Nemilje, and after this settlement the road starts to climb steeply. When you reach Podblica, follow the main road, and above Podblica you will reach the main road Kropa - Dražgoše, which you follow to the left (if the bend is too sharp, there is a turning point a few 10 metres to the right). Continue past the church of St. Jederti and then you will reach Dražgoše, where you will first reach a crossroads where the road to Sv. Križ turns left. Continue along the main road and then arrive in the centre of Dražgoše, where, at the area called Na Pečeh, take a sharp right onto a side road in the direction of Bičkova skala, Dražgoška gora and the hamlet of Jelenšče (the signs are from the opposite direction, so you can quickly miss them). Above the hamlet of Jelenšče, continue along the forest road, but only to the first crossroads, where you can park at the appropriate place next to the mountain signs.
c) Drive to Kropa, then continue towards Dražgoše and Železniki. When you arrive in Dražgoše, in the centre of Dražgoše, in the area called Na Pečeh, take a sharp right onto a side road in the direction of Bičkova skala, Dražgoška gora and the hamlet of Jelenšče (the signs are from the opposite direction, so you can quickly miss them). Above the hamlet of Jelenšče, continue along the forest road, but only to the first crossroads, where you can park at the appropriate place next to the mountain signs.

Path description:
From the starting point, continue left towards mountain pasture Kališe, Vodice mountain pasture and Dražgoška gora (Bičkova skala on the right), where the path leads along cart track, which ascends transversely to the left. The route mostly passes through the forest, but occasionally we get some views of Ratitovec, Blegoš and the valley, where we can see the Rudno ski resort. When the slope becomes slightly flatter, we reach a crossroads where we join a path marked with Knafelč's markings from the left and starting in Dražgoše in the area of Na Pečeh, and to the right continues the marked path towards Vodiška mountain pasture.
Continue straight on, and then, when cart track turns right a little further on, continue straight on again, this time on a path which quickly leads to the lookout point Dražgoška gora, where there is also a registration box.
Description and pictures refer to the situation in 2018 (January).
