Access to the starting point:
Leave the Štajerska motorway at exit Domžale, then follow the signs for Krumperk Castle. The road then leads past the SSK Sam Ihan ski jumps and continues along the high-voltage power line. There is some ascent and then you reach a small pass where you cross the marked Domžale - Murovica trail. Park here in a suitable place by a wooden sign. Park in front of Krumperk Castle and Gorjuša.
Path description:
Near the sign, you will see markings directing you to a dirt track that begins to climb southwards. The moderately steep path leads us mainly through the forest, but higher up we are joined by a few more unmarked paths from nearby starting points. Follow this trail, with few signs at the crossroads, all the way to Veliki vrh, where there is a signing-in box with a signing-in book.
From Veliki vrh, continue straight ahead along the path, which begins to descend gently, and at the crossroads follow the few signs. A little lower, you come out of the forest and climb gently across the meadow to the macadam road, where there is a marked crossroads.
The marked path continues towards Sv. Trinity, and we follow the dirt road for a minute or two to the Church of St. Kunigunda.
From the church, we return to the last crossroads and then continue in the direction of Okleg and St Trinity. After leaving the forest for a few minutes, cross the route of the high-voltage power lines and then reach the Brdo pri Ihan Equestrian Centre, where you get onto the asphalt road. Follow the asphalt road downhill a little to the crossroads where the chapel is located, and then climb up the road to the left of the chapel (you can also reach the Church of St Nicholas by continuing along the road to the right of the chapel).
The way ahead leads along the asphalt road towards the village Dobovlje, but we leave it just a few minutes further on, at the left-hand bend, and continue to the right on the cart track. At first the path leads us quite close to the asphalt road, then it turns slightly to the right, and higher up it leads to a small crossroads, where we continue on the slightly right cart track (slightly to the left we can reach Dobovlje or Oklega). Follow Cart track, which crosses the slopes to the right in a slight ascent, then follow it all the way to the Church of St Nicholas at Goropeče.
After the church, go left, initially slightly uphill, then follow cart track, which crosses the slopes to the right and joins the tarmac road a little further on, which is reached between the chapel on the left and the farm on the right. Follow the road to the left and walk along it for a few minutes, or until you reach a miniature trestle, where yellow and white markings direct you left onto a track. Follow cart track for a few minutes cross-climbing, then the signs direct you to the right onto a slightly narrower path. The path widens quickly, and then a rather gently sloping path leads us quickly to the NOB memorial at Oklem. Starting point - Veliki vrh 20 minutes, Veliki vrh - Tabor 15 minutes, Tabor - Sv. Miklavž 40 minutes, Sv. Miklavž - Oklo 25 minutes.
