Access to the starting point:
a) From the motorway Ljubljana - Jesenice take the exit Naklo (you can also take the exit for Tržič), then follow the signs for Kropa. At Podnart, after crossing the Sava River, continue left, then pass the turnoff for Ovsiše, and in a few kilometres you will reach a crossroads where you turn left in the direction of Češnjice pri Kropa. Cross Lipnica, then at the crossroads take the road towards Na Kajžah (right Na Kmetih). When Češnjica ends, descend into a small valley, and when the road climbs again, quickly arrive at Rovte, where at the crossroads follow the main road. When the settlement ends, we drive through the forest for a while, and when we come out of the forest we see the settlement Njivica in front of us, and we park in front of the settlement in a convenient place near the "storage" of logs.
b) From the motorway Jesenice - Ljubljana, take the exit Lesce or Radovljica, then continue in the direction of Radovljica and later the villages Lancovo, Lipnica, Kamna Gorica and Kropa, which we do not take. Continue towards Podnart, then a few kilometres before the above-mentioned village turn right in the direction of Češnjica pri Kropa, then cross Lipnica, then at the crossroads take the road in the direction of Na Kajžah (right Na Kmetih). When Češnjica ends, descend into a small valley, and when the road climbs again you will quickly arrive at Rovte, where at the crossroads follow the main road. When the settlement ends, we drive through the forest for a while, and when we come out of the forest we see the settlement Njivica in front of us, and we park in front of the settlement in a convenient place near the "storage" of logs.
c) From the road Dražgoše - Zgornja Besnica, near the hamlet of Log (Log is a hamlet belonging to the settlement Njivica), take the side road in the direction of Njivica and Rovt. There is a steep climb up a wide road, and then you arrive in Njivica, parking at the end of the settlement in a convenient place near the log "store".
Path description:
From where you parked, first walk to the log store, then follow the wide cart track climbing westwards. The cart track climbs steeply at first, and at crossroads follows the "main track". The track flattens out higher up and continues to cross the slopes to the left. There are also a few small forks, where you follow the wider track, or the one with the arrows and markers No 3. A little further on, the track goes from the slopes of Malá vrh to the slopes below Grebenc St. Primož and Felicijan, where the path from the village of Nemilje (the path over Sleme) joins us on the left.
Continue slightly to the right here, and a little further on go sharp right and soon pass the two trestles visible from below. There is a few more switchbacks to the right and then a cross-climb to the main ridge, where you join the marked trail leading from the village Rovte towards Jamnik.
Continue left on the ridge, and then, with increasingly beautiful views, climb in a few minutes to the church of St. Primož and Felicijan.
