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, and after this settlement the road starts to climb more steeply. When you reach Podblica, follow the main road, and when you reach the ecological island on the right, you will see the beginning of the route described above. Do not park at the ecological island, as this will block the locals' access to the rubbish containers. Park in a suitable place on the roadside lower or higher up the road.
b) From Železniki, drive to Dražgoše, then continue to Kropa, crossing the slopes of Jelovica, then arriving at a junction where the road to Kranj turns sharp 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, where you will see an ecological island on the left before the centre of the village, where the route described above begins. Do not park at the ecological island, as this will block the locals' access to the rubbish containers. Park in a suitable place on the roadside lower or higher up the road.
c) Drive to Kropa, then continue driving to Dražgoše and Železniki. After Jamnik, leave the road towards Dražgoše and drive left towards Kranj. Then descend to Podblica, where the route described above starts at the ecological island. Do not park at the ecological island, as this will block the locals' access to the rubbish containers. Park in a suitable place on the roadside lower or higher up the road.
Path description:
From the crossroads above the eco-island, continue right in the direction of Jamnik and Metka biscuit bakery. The path initially leads along a narrower asphalt road, which passes a few houses. At the last house, turn right onto cart track, and follow it ascending in a generally transverse direction. At a higher level you reach a newer house, which you pass on the upper side, and then, after the courtyard, continue again on cart track, which leads you past a sign. A little further on, you reach the main road Dražgoše - Kropa, which you follow to the right (straight ahead, or slightly to the left - Bela peč). With fine views, you reach the village of Jamnik, where the road splits. Continue on the upper road above the village, or alternatively on the lower road through the village. After a few minutes, the two roads merge and we walk towards Kropa for a few more minutes, then the signs for the Church of St. Primož and Felicijan point us down to the right. We then descend a flight of stairs and reach a scenic ridge, which we walk along in a few minutes to the church, from which we have a beautiful view.
