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 through 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 left (right Dražgoše and Lajše) until you reach the Dražgoše - St. Mohor route.
Continue along the right-hand slopes of the summit of the Preval (713 m), and a little lower down the cart track passes onto a ridge, where it passes a cross. The gentle to moderate descent ends when you reach a dirt road, which you just cross and continue in the direction of Mohorje. A steeper ascent follows along cart track, following the signs at the crossroads. Continue along the mountain path for some time, then return to cart track, and at a slightly higher altitude reach an asphalt road, which you follow to the left. Continue along the asphalt road, which then leads to a small crossroads by the sign. Go slightly left, and then, with increasing views of Karawanks, you will reach the village of Zabrekve, where the signs for St. Mohorja point you sharp right onto a dirt track. The path forks behind the buildings of a nearby house, and we can either continue left along the track, or straight ahead along cart track. After a few minutes, the two paths merge, and then, after a meadow with a view, we reach the Church of Sts.
