Park about 100 metres further on the parking lot on the left side of the road.

Before the Petrol station in Bistrica pri Tržiču, turn right, then right at the traffic lights towards Križe.

Path description:
From the parking lot, continue along the road for a few 10 steps, then turn right onto the side road in the direction of Gozda and Kriška gora. A little further on, in front of the last house, leave the road and continue left on the marked footpath, which begins to climb through the forest. There are several forks in the trail, where you follow the marked trail, and higher up you reach a macadam road, which you follow to the right. Leave the road quickly as the signs for Gozd and Kriška gora direct you left again on the mountain path. A few minutes of ascent follow, and then the path transitively lays and leads us to cart track, after which we continue the ascent. Then walk along cart track, following the markings at the crossroads, and from cart track, higher up to the left, the path branches off to the NOB Čevdrci 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 in the direction of Kriška gora, Tolsti vrh, Golnik and Zaloga, from which we turn right after a few 10 steps, onto a side road in the direction of the viewpoint and the airstrip. At first, we climb up the asphalt road, which opens up a beautiful 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.
