Access to the starting point:
a) From the motorway Ljubljana - Jesenice take the exit Vodice, then continue to the first semaphore crossing in Vodice, where you turn left towards Cerkelj na Gorenjskem and Brnik. When you reach the main roundabout at Spodnji Brnik, continue driving in the direction of Cerkeliai and the ski resort Krvavec. At the end of Cerklje na Gorenjskem, leave the main road, which continues towards Velesovo and Visoke, and turn slightly right onto the road towards the ski resort Krvavec. Continue to the village of Grad, where signs for Ambrož pod Krvavcem direct you to the right on a steep asphalt road (straight ahead to the lower station of the round-cabin cable car to Krvavec and Štefanja Gora). When the steepness of the steep road eases slightly, you will come to a junction, where you will continue to the left in the direction of Ambrož pod Krvavcem (straight ahead to the settlements of Ravne, Apno and Šenturška Gora). A little further on, the road descends a little and then climbs over slopes that are sometimes quite scenic. Higher up, you reach Ambrož pod Krvavcem, where you pass the church of St Ambrose and the tourist farm Pr Ambružarju on the left. From the tourist farm the road passes into the forest and climbs through it to mountain pasture Jezerec, where there is a large parking lot.
b) From the motorway Jesenice - Ljubljana take the exit Kranj - East, then continue to Brnik, Komenda and Mengeš. When you reach the main roundabout at Spodnji Brnik, continue driving towards Cerkeliai and the ski resort Krvavec. At the end of Cerklje na Gorenjskem, leave the main road, which continues towards Velesovo and Visoke, and turn slightly right onto the road towards the ski resort Krvavec. Continue to the village of Grad, where signs for Ambrož pod Krvavcem direct you to the right on a steep asphalt road (straight ahead to the lower station of the circular cable car to Krvavec and Štefanja Gora). When the steepness of the steep road eases slightly, you will come to a crossroads, where you will continue to the left in the direction of Ambrož pod Krvavcem (straight ahead to the settlements of Ravne, Apno and Šenturška Gora). A little further on, the road descends a little and then climbs over slopes that are sometimes quite scenic. Higher up, you reach Ambrož pod Krvavcem, where you pass the church of St Ambrose and the tourist farm Pr Ambružarju on the left. From the tourist farm the road passes into the forest and climbs through it to mountain pasture Jezerec, where there is a large parking lot.
Path description:
At the end of the large parking lot, the road splits and we continue along the left main road leading to the Krvavec ski resort (the right road leads to the nearby chalets at mountain pasture Jezerec). Just after the bend, at which there are a large number of information and mountain signs, there is a barrier across the road and we then start to climb gently up the road. After a few steps, or at the point where the road turns into a forest, a mountain trail branches off to the left, leading towards Davovec and Štefanja Gora. After about 10 minutes, in the middle of a left turn, the road to Kriška planina branches off to the right, and we continue along a wider road on the left, which begins to climb more visibly. Slightly higher up, on a small levelling, another road branches off to the right towards Kriška planina (the road to the Viženčar tourist farm and the Florjan pasture farm). Continue along the "main road", which leads above the cattle watering trough. The road then climbs crosswise, leading us partly through the forest and partly over the viewing slopes, from which a beautiful view opens up towards Gorenjska. When the road is laid, it then leads quickly to the upper station of the round-cabin cable car, opposite which is the Mountain Home at Gospinec or Rozka Cottage.
From the Mountain Home on Gospinec, which is opposite the upper station of the circular cableway to Krvavec, first descend to the garages, and from there continue in the direction of Hotel Krvavec (if you have reached the starting point by taking the mountain pasture Jezerce, then the mountain home and the upper station of the circular cableway are bypassed on the lower left-hand side). Continue along the road which leads past the start of Bike Park Krvavec ("downhill track"), and a few steps further on, a marked mountain trail from the saddle Davovec (starting point Lower Kokra, Štefanja gora and the lower station of the circular cableway to Krvavec) joins us from the left.
Continue along the road, which continues by the summer park Krvavec, and then passes into the forest, where it leads you past the adventure park. Above the adventure park, you reach the Pension Tia, and after the pension, you climb up a few switchbacks to the Hotel Krvavec, which is located to the left of the dirt road. Description and figures refer to the situation in 2015 (June).
