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 Kroparicka, 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 a serpentine right. 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 marked trail that starts in the centre of Kropa.
Here continue slightly right (left down Kropa, sharp right Vodiška mountain pasture) in the route Jamnik and quickly climb up to the hunting lodge, which you pass on the right. From the hut, in a few steps, you reach an asphalt road, which you follow to the left (right down Kropa), and a few metres after the road sign marking the beginning of Jamnik, continue slightly to the left, on a side road, in the direction of the footpath to Jamnik (right Vodiška mountain pasture). After the nearby farmhouse, the road changes to cart track, and with occasional fine views reaching Karawanks and Kamnik Savinja Alps, we reach the ridge of St. Primož and Felicijan in a few minutes of further walking, after which, in a few minutes of easy walking, we walk to the church of the same name.
