Access to the starting point:
a) Drive to Kropa, then continue driving to Železniki and Dražgoše. When Kropa ends, continue along the Kroparica stream, and before the left serpentine and the Slovensko Poča, you will see a larger gravel area on the right where you can park.
b) From Besnice (near Kranj), drive towards Dražgoše, and continue towards Kropa higher above the village of Podblica. The trail continues past the village of Jamnik, and then starts to descend steeply towards Kropa. After Slovenska Peja, you will soon notice a larger gravel area on the left, where you park.
c) Take the road to Železniki, then follow the signs for Dražgoše and Kropa. The road ahead takes you past the village of Jamnik, then starts to descend steeply towards Kropa. After the Slovenska Poča, you will soon see a larger gravel area on your left, where you park.
Path description:
From the starting point, follow the road that runs along the KropaXX river up to the Slovenian Furnace (the Slovenian Furnace is the oldest preserved smelting furnace in Slovenia, built in the 14th century. After the smelter, signs for Vodice direct you to the right onto a less-traveled road, which quickly turns into a wide path, and before crossing the Kroparica River, you continue sharp left onto an unmarked path, which continues to climb crosswise to the left, and higher up, crosses the asphalt road a few times. Stay on the road higher up and follow it to the right serpentine. From the serpentine continue straight on to cart track, which crosses the slopes, then climbs crosswise and leads us in a few minutes to a marked crossroads, where we join the waymarked trail that starts in the centre of Kropa.
Here, continue to the right in the direction of Vodiška mountain pasture (Kropa straight ahead, Jamnik slightly to the right).
There is a steep climb for a few minutes, then cross the asphalt road.
On the other side of the road, continue on 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 into 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.
