Access to the starting point:
a) Drive to Kranj, then follow the signs for Besnica (the turn-off from the old Ljubljana - Kranj road is before the bridge over the Sava River, or after the bridge if you are coming from Kranja). Continue through Spodnja, Zgornja Besnica and Njivica. A little further on, you arrive in Nemilje, where the route described above starts at the Raspoka Inn. There are no parking places for mountaineers at the starting point, so park in a suitable place somewhere nearby.
b) From Železniki, drive to Dražgoše, then continue towards Kropa, crossing the slopes of Jelovica, then arriving at a crossroads where the road to Kranj branches off sharply to the right (the turn-off for Kranj is only from the opposite direction). Here, continue sharp right (if the turn is too sharp, there is a turning point about 50 metres further on), then descend to Podblica and further to the settlement Nemilje, where the route described above starts at the Raspoka Inn. There are no parking places for mountaineers at the starting point, so park in a suitable place somewhere nearby.
Path description:
From the inn, take the side road that continues west (Selca and Topolje on the left, Dražgoše and Jamnik on the right). After a short climb, the road turns left and leads to a few more houses, and before the last house, take a slight right onto cart track, which climbs across a meadow into the forest. Through the forest, cross the slopes of Bekrej (585 m), and on the other side of the summit reach a wooded ridge, along which the path continues. There are a few small forks where you continue straight ahead, and a little higher up you go right from an indistinct ridge, where after a short traverse you reach another cart track, and continue climbing along it. There is some moderate climbing and a few switchbacks where you follow the wider cart track, reaching the Prevoje pass, where you reach the marked Dražgoše - St. Mohor route and continue right (St. Mohor on the left).
The way forward is initially along the cart track, then along the mountain path, and at Koblarjev hrib the ascent ends transitively. There follows some easy walking to the nearby chapel, where the path from Podblice joins us from the right.
The way ahead leads along cart track, which climbs gently to moderately. At a slightly higher altitude, the path exits the forest onto a hay meadow and then returns to the forest behind a small hut, which can be seen on the right-hand side. After a few minutes of ascent through the forest, you reach another hayfield, where the path leads along its left edge. A little higher up, the path turns left and leads us past the abandoned Lobnikar farm to an asphalt road, which we follow to the left, quickly reaching the church of St Jedert.
From the church, continue along the asphalt road, and at the nearby crossroads, continue straight on towards Dražgoš. The way forward leads past two NOB memorials, with beautiful views, and then arrives at Dražgoše, where, after the house in front of which the chapel is located, we turn left, onto a side road. The way ahead takes us past a few houses, and then we arrive on the slopes of Slemena, where, before a strip of woods to the left, cart track branches off, leading to the transmitters, and we continue for a few more 10 metres along the asphalt road, turning left at the middle of a left-hand bend. The way forward leads us along the cart track lookout, which leads us along the ridge to Sleme in a few minutes.
Nemilje - St Jedert 1:35, St Jedert - Sleme 0:30.
