Senično - Zavetišče v Gozdu (gentle path)

Access to the starting point:
a) Leave the Gorenjska motorway at exit Kranj West, then follow the signs for Golnik. After Golnik we reach the settlement Senično, and after the sign marking the end of the settlement Golnik, we park at the larger chapel located on the right side of the road.
b) From the road Naklo - Tržič, in the settlement Retnje, turn onto the road in the direction of Križev and Golnik. In Križe, at the stop sign, turn right towards Golnik, and we follow the main road almost to the beginning of the settlement of Senično. About 100 metres before the settlement, on the left side of the road, we see a larger chapel, next to which we park.

Path description:
To the right of the chapel, at the left edge of the meadow, you can see a well-worn path that leads quickly into the lane of the forest. After crossing a small stream, the path turns right and passes into a vast hay field, and we follow the path across the hay field, which leads us after a few minutes to an asphalt road, which we reach at the beginning or end of the village of Spodnje Vetrno. Continue along the asphalt road as it climbs through the village, taking slight right turns at a few small crossroads. Higher up, near the last houses, the road turns right and enters the forest.
At the last house the asphalt ends and we continue along the road, which is closed to public traffic by a road sign. The road soon turns left and we continue straight on cart track in the direction of Gozda. We continue up the wide cart track, which is soon joined by cart track with Golnik.
After the crossroads, cart track narrows and a steep path branches off slightly to the left, crossing cart track a few more times higher up.
Continue on cart track, which climbs moderately to steeply at first, but soon turns left and makes a longer, rather gentle serpentine. As cart track turns right, it starts to climb moderately again, and we cross the steep path for the last time. There is a longer traverse to the right, and as cart track lays down, we continue slightly left onto the slightly narrower cart track, which continues to climb in the same direction. A few minutes further on, cart track joins the marked path from Golnik, and cart track gradually turns into a mountain path. A little further on, an unmarked path branches off from the marked path to the left, leading towards Planica or the Gozd airstrip, and we continue along the gently sloping path, which turns increasingly to the left. A little further on, we reach the "first" houses in the Gozd settlement, and a marked crossroads a few 10 steps further on.
From the crossroads, continue straight on in the direction of Zavetišče v Gozdu (Storžič and Kriška gora on the right) and continue walking along the asphalt road, which leads you past the Church of St. Nicholas, in a few minutes to the Shelter in the Woods. Description and figures refer to the situation in 2018 (September).
