Access to the starting point:
a) From Ljubljana, take the Gorenjska motorway to Jesenice, and follow it to the Ljubelj (Podnart) exit. Continue on the expressway towards Ljubelj, and we turn right at the first exit, where we quickly reach a roundabout, from which we continue in the direction of Podnart and Kropa. The road then takes us through an underpass under the motorway and leads us a little further on to a junction where we join the road from Nakleg. Here we turn right and continue along the road, which gradually starts to descend. In the middle of the descent we come to a crossroads where we turn sharp left (towards Kropa) and then immediately after the bridge over the Sava River we turn left again (right Podnart). Continue along the Lipnica river and follow the road to the crossroads where the road to Kamna Gorica branches off to the right. Here, turn left towards Kropa and follow the road through the above-mentioned place. Just a few metres before the house with house number 7, you will see a sports field on the left and a parking lot underneath, where you park.
b) From the Gorenjska direction, leave the motorway towards Ljubljana at the Brezje exit and follow the signs towards Kropa. Park in the parking lot next to the sports ground in Kropa.
Path description:
From the parking lot, walk to the house number 7, then turn left along the asphalt road. The road quickly turns to gravel, and we follow it up to the Church of Our Lady of Kropar.
From the church, follow cart track, which ascends crosswise to the left over a relatively steep slope. Higher up, climb onto a wooded ridge, where you continue sharp right in the route Jamnik (left Brezovica, straight Češnjica). Continue along the cart track, which continues to climb along a relatively steep ridge.
Continue towards Jamnik, and the path leads along a wooded ridge, and after a short climb reaches the undistinguished summit of Berigle. Higher up, the path gradually moves from the ridge to the slope and splits.
To the left, the path to Jamnik branches off, and we go left a few steps further at a marked crossroads, from which we continue along the steep path towards Vodiška mountain pasture. There is a steep climb for a few minutes and then we cross an asphalt road.
On the other side of the road, continue along the marked cart track, soon turning right onto a footpath, which after a few minutes returns to cart track. There is some climbing on cart track, where there are some serpentines, and then cart track narrows into a mountain path. During the further ascent, we have some views towards Jamnik, but after a small sign the path widens to cart track, which leads us to a crossroads where the path from Jamnik joins us from the left.
Follow the signs for Vodice and you will quickly reach a crossroads where the path to the Meta technique branches off to the left.
Here, leave the path towards Vodice mountain pasture and continue slightly to the left on the path, which takes you past the warehouse and leads you to the Partisan Technique Meta in about 5 minutes of further walking.
From the registration box, continue ahead and the path turns left and descends to cart track, cross it and continue on the second cart track, which ends and the marked path continues to the left. There are a few more forks below where you follow the markings, and when you reach the wider cart track, continue along it all the way to the road, even though the marked path branches off to the left downhill.
When you reach the road, follow it to the right, and after a while it will lead you to a crossroads with signs for the Meta technique, and we will continue on the road to the left, which descends slightly. Follow the road to the first turning cart track to the left, and cart track, which we follow, forks after a few steps.
Continue to the right and join the marked path Podblica - Bela peč.
Follow the marked trail, which climbs mostly gently to occasionally moderately, and higher up, at the paragliders' take-off point, opens up a beautiful view that reaches all the way to the Kamniško Savinjske Alps.
The marked trail continues to the right of the lookout point and climbs steeply through the forest and along the edge of the plateau to the nearby summit, from which a fine view opens up.
