Access to the starting point:
a) From Gorenje vas, Medvode or Kranj, drive to Škofja Loka and continue to Železniki. Once in Škofja Loka, you will arrive at a semaphorised crossroads, where you turn right in the direction of Križna Gora, Virlog and Moškrina. As soon as we leave the main road we arrive at Binkelj, and at the next crossroads we follow the signs for Križna Gora. After Moškrin, the road starts to climb steeply, and then somewhere in the middle of the climb it leads to a small crossroads, where we continue to the right (left Cavrn). Higher up, when we arrive in Križna Gora, we continue to the right at the crossroads (left Hunting hut and St. Križa Church). There is a short climb, and then we arrive at a nicely landscaped parking lot, where we park.
b) First drive to Železniki, then continue to Škofja Loka. At Škofja Loka, at one of the traffic lights, turn left towards Križna Gora, Virlog and Moškrina. As soon as we leave the main road we arrive at Binkelj, and at the next junctions we follow the signs for Krizna Gora. After the settlement of Moškrin, the road starts to climb steeply, and then somewhere in the middle of the climb leads us to a small crossroads, where we continue to the right (left Cavrn). Higher up, when we have already arrived in the settlement of Križna Gora, we continue to the right at the crossroads (left hunting lodge and church of St. Križa). There is a short climb, and then we arrive at a nicely arranged parking lot, where we park.
Path description:
From the starting point, return along the road that led to the starting point, and walk along it past the trail turnoff to Praprotno, to the crossroads in the middle of the village, from where you continue to the right in the direction of the church and the hunting lodge. Continue along a fairly scenic and initially still asphalted road, which climbs gently towards a high-voltage power line. After the power line, the road flattens out, or even drops slightly, and then a path branches off to the left, leading directly towards the Church of St. Križ.
Continue along the path parallel to the road, which will take you to the church in a few minutes.
From the church, which offers a beautiful view, continue along the well-trodden path, which continues slightly to the right and returns to the road we have recently left. Once on the road, continue slightly left and within a minute's walk you will reach the hunting lodge, which is located at the edge of the forest.
Description and pictures refer to the situation in 2015 (March).
