Pristava - Planica (Paragliding site Gozd)

Access to the starting point:
a) From the motorway Ljubljana - Jesenice take the exit Naklo, then continue in the direction of Žeje, Spodnje and Zgornje Duplje until Retnje, where you turn right towards Križe. Continue past the NOB memorial, the Križe sports ground, the Križe cemetery and the Križe parish church, then reach the junction with the priority road, where you turn left at the stop sign in the direction of Tržiča. Križe soon ends and we arrive in Pristavo, where the described route begins at the junction by the children's playground. Park in a suitable place nearby.

b) From the motorway Jesenice - Ljubljana, take the exit Podbrezje and then continue towards Ljubelj and Tržič. Before the Petrol station in Bistrica pri Tržiču, turn right and then drive to Tržič. When the road descends into the valley, take a sharp right in the direction of Pristava and Križev, and continue along the road, which climbs at the end of Bistrica pri Tržiču, then lays down and leads to a crossroads, where you take a sharp left in the direction of Pristava. In Pristava, turn right and go past houses and a few small crossroads to the road Križe - Tržič, where the route described above starts at the children's playground in Pristava. Park in a suitable place nearby.

Path description:
From the crossroads by the children's playground in Pristava, take the side road that continues eastwards and leads you past some houses. When you reach a steep slope, continue straight ahead on a steep unmarked path that climbs above the village and leads quickly into the forest. Higher up, a hunting observation post can be seen on the right, and at a small crossroads, go left. After a few minutes of climbing through the forest, you will reach cart track, which you follow to the left. Just a little further on, cross a dirt road, and we continue walking along cart track, which after a short climb is joined on the left by the marked path from Tržič.

Then follow the cart track, following the signs at the crossroads, and from the cart track, higher up to the left, the path branches off to the Čevdrci NOB memorial, and we continue straight on the marked path. Follow the path for a few minutes, then cross the asphalt road to the left, which leads to the village of Gozd. Further on, we walk along a worse macadam road, which turns into an ascending cart track after a water trough. Cart track touches the tarmac road at a higher level, and we resume to the right of the road. A few minutes of gentle ascent through the forest follows and the path leads to Zavetišče v Gozdu.
From the Shelter in the Woods we continue along the asphalt road towards Kriška gora, Tolsti vrh, Golnik and Zalog, from which after a few 10 steps we turn right, onto a side road towards the viewpoint and the airstrip. At first, we climb up the asphalt road, from which we have a nice view towards Kriška Gora, but the road quickly becomes macadam and turns into a forest. There is only a slight climb and the road leads to Planica or the Gozd airstrip.
Pristava - Zavetišče v Gozdu 1:15, Zavetišče v Gozdu - Planica 0:05.
