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 come out of the forest and climb gently across the meadow to the 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 the crossroads, continue along the upper right road (straight ahead to Sv. Trojica), and then continue along it all the way to the NOB (National Liberation) memorial at Oklem.
