Praprotno - Sveti Križ (Križna Gora)

Access to the starting point:
First we drive to Škofja Loka, then continue driving towards Železniki. Shortly before Praprotno, just before the main road crosses the Selška Sora River, turn right onto a local road, and park alongside it after 50 m.
The starting point can also be reached from Železniki by turning left after Praprotno onto the local road and then parking.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue on the tarmac road, walking along it for only a few 10 m, and then, when the cliffs on the right end, we turn right onto the grassy cart track. Follow the cart track and climb along the edge of the meadow, keeping a sharp lookout to the right, as you will soon see a path on the right hand side, leaving the cart track and heading steeply uphill (the turn-off is not particularly marked and can be quickly missed).
The ascent continues through a dense forest, through which you climb steeply. At a higher level, cross cart track and the path climbs steeply for some time. After a few more minutes of climbing, the forest starts to thin out and the path becomes less steep. Cross the meadow to cart track, cross it a few times higher up, and then follow it up to an unmarked crossroads near a dwelling house.
Here continue right (to the left is a minor road leading to the nearby aforementioned dwelling house) and follow the minor road crossing the slopes to the right. Cart track or the road then turns left and leads past the goat house to the village of Križna Gora, where you continue right down the asphalt road (Planica on the left). After a short descent, you arrive at the next crossroads, where you continue right in the direction of the church and the hunting lodge (the road straight down descends to Škofja Loko). Continue along the macadam road, which with a few short ups and downs and beautiful views leads to the church Sveti Križ on Križna gora, which is located slightly away from the macadam road.
From the church, we return to the road and walk along it in a few 10 steps to the hunting lodge.
