Planina Jezerca - Krvavec

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 parking lot, where the road turns left and the road branches off to the right towards the nearby mountain pasture Jezerca, you will notice red mountain direction signs directing you straight onto the marked footpath in the direction of Kriška planina, Vrh Korena, Košutna, Kompotela and Mokrica, which ascends through the pastures of the aforementioned mountain pasture. After a short climb, cart track is reached, and we follow it to the left, crossing the slopes of Kržišče (1658 m). Cart track, which we are following, quickly splits into two parts, and we continue straight on the lower one. Transitionally, we get a nice view towards Kranj, the Škofjeloško hribovje and Storžič, and then the path starts to descend gently. A few more minutes of walking follow, and then we arrive at the parking lot at the lower part of Kriška mountain pasture.
Here the marked path continues slightly to the right towards Planina Koren, and we continue straight on to the other side of the valley, where we start to climb up the grassy slope towards the nearby hamlet. After a short climb we reach the Pr Florjan pasture, which we pass on the right. Above the pasture, gradually ascend a well-trodden, but less well-marked path, which begins to climb steeply up the grassy slope. Higher up, we reach the less well-trodden, partly grassy cart track, which we follow up to where it turns right. From this bend, continue straight ahead along a slightly less distinct path, which will take you up to Dom na Krvavcu in a few minutes.
At Dom na Krvavcu, we get onto a macadam road, and we start climbing up it towards the top of Krvavec and Zvoh. The road leads us past the transmitter tower, and we arrive at a completely unmarked crossroads with beautiful views, where a marked trackless road branches off to the right, leading to the top of Krvavec.
From here we have two options for the ascent, namely to continue to the right and climb to the top of Krvavec along the edge of the ski slope, right next to the fence, where we can see some markings, or to continue straight ahead and follow the road to a small crossroads. In the latter case, take a sharp right at the crossroads, and in a few minutes you will reach the summit with a viewpoint with a signing-in box, a signing-in book and a stamp. The road is a few minutes longer but less steep than the one that continues along the edge of the ski slope. Walking on the part of the trail where it crosses the ski slope is forbidden when the ski slope is open.
