Access to the starting point:
Leave the Štajerska motorway at exit Domžale, then follow the signs for Krumperk Castle. Park just a little further from the motorway, in the parking lot next to the ski jumping hills of SSK Sam Ihan.
Path description:
At the end of the ski jumping centre, at the point where there is a no parking sign along the macadam road, take the footpath that turns into the forest and starts to climb moderately. Higher up, the path splits several times, but higher up it joins up again and it doesn't even matter which direction you choose, all that matters is that you keep climbing. After about 15 minutes of climbing, the marked path from Domžale joins us, and we continue our gentle to moderate climb, ending at Velikem vrh.
From Veliki vrh we continue straight ahead, following the path which begins to descend moderately, and at the crossroads we follow the few signs. A little lower, you will come out of the forest and climb gently across a meadow to a macadam road, where there is a marked crossroads.
The marked path continues towards Sv. Trinity, and we follow the dirt road for a minute or two to the Church of St. Kunigunda.
From the church, we return to the last crossroads and then continue in the direction of Okleg and St Trinity. After leaving the forest for a few minutes, cross the route of the high-voltage power lines and then reach the Brdo pri Ihan Equestrian Centre, where you get onto the asphalt road. Follow the asphalt road downhill a little to the crossroads where the chapel is located, and then climb up the road that continues to the left of the chapel.
The way ahead is along the asphalt road towards the village Dobovlje. When we reach Dobovlje, an unmarked path branches off to the right towards the church of St Nicholas and towards Oklem, and we continue straight ahead, first slightly downhill, then along a gently sloping road that passes a few houses and through a meadow into the forest. In the forest, at a crossroads, continue straight ahead (right Oklo nad Ihanom), slightly ahead, and at the next crossroads, slightly right, onto a road with yellow and white markings. Before the road becomes asphalted, we join a path on the right that leads past Okleg, and we start to climb past the houses in Žeje. Here, go left at the first crossroads, and when you reach the main road, go right in the direction of Sv. Trojice.
The way forward leads us along the main road, where we walk past the fire station, the sports ground, and then we arrive in the village of Sveta Trojica. We continue along the road, following the signs of the Stations of the Cross, and when the road is laid, we continue to the left towards the Church of St Trinity, which is only a 2-minute walk away. From the church, return to the last crossroads, then continue left to the Zavrh Café, which you pass on your left. A little further on, you reach a crossroads at a sign, from where you continue along the upper right-hand side and continue along the asphalted road, which climbs moderately through the forest. Soon you will reach a small crossroads where a path branches off sharply to the right towards the ruins of the nearby castle and the castle fountain. Continue straight ahead and follow the road leading out of the forest to a hamlet of a few cottages, where there is also a small parking lot and mountain direction signs. From the signposts continue along the marked mountain path in the direction of Murovica and Ciclja. The way forward initially continues along the fence, and then gradually passes into a dense forest, through which it mostly climbs moderately. Higher up, the path turns slightly to the right, and we are joined on the left by a waymarked path from the village of Zgornja Javoršica. Continue straight ahead and after two minutes of further walking you will reach the top of Murovica, where there are several wooden benches.
We can extend the trip to the following destinations: Cicelj
