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 to the left of the chapel (you can also reach the Church of St Nicholas by continuing along the road to the right of the chapel).
The way ahead leads along the asphalt road towards the village of Dobovlje, but we leave it just a few minutes further on, at the left-hand bend, and continue to the right on cart track. At first the path is still quite close to the asphalt road, then it turns slightly to the right, and higher up it leads to a small crossroads, where we continue on the slightly right cart track (slightly to the left we can reach Dobovlje or Oklega). Follow Cart track, which crosses the slopes to the right in a slight ascent, then follow it all the way to the Church of St Nicholas at Goropeče.
