Access to starting point:
A) From highway Ljubljana - Koper we go to the exit Unec, and then we follow the road in the direction of Cerknica and ahead in the direction of Bloška Polica, but we drive there only to the settlement Bločice, where our path begins. The path towards Križna gora starts immediately from the main road, but because there aren't any parking spots it is better, that we park on a parking lot at the church of St. Primož and Felicijan. To the church we come if in the middle of the settlement from the main road we turn left in the village, after that twice right and we are already at the church.
B) We drive to Velike Lašče or Sodražica, and from there we continue driving in the direction of Nova vas on Bloke. From Nova vas we drive on the main road towards Cerknica, and we drive only to the settlement Bločice, where our path on Križna gora begins. The path towards Križna gora starts immediately from the main road, but because there aren't any parking spots it is better, that we park on a parking lot at the church of St. Primož and Felicijan. To the church we come if in the middle of the settlement from the main road we turn right in the village, and then twice right and we are already at the church.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we walk to the church and nearby cemetery, from there we descend to the main road which we then carefully cross. On the other side of the main road we notice side road which starts descending diagonally among few houses (beginning of the path on Križna gora isn't marked, and it is situated opposite of the house with yellow facade).
At the nearby house the road splits into two parts, and we continue on the bottom right road which soon loses an asphalt covering and descends to Bločiško polje. We continue on a bad road which further leads by the left edge of an ample uvala (closed karst depression). A little further at first still rare blazes lead slightly left on a cart track which short time continues parallel with the road, and then passes into a dense forest, through which it starts moderately ascending. Higher a worse cart track flattens and leads us past few crossings, where we carefully follow the blazes. The path ahead for some time continues through the forest and then descends to a macadam road which we follow to the left (right Žerovnica). On the road, we quickly get to a marked crossroad, where we continue right in the direction of Sveta Ana (left cave Križna jama 1 km), but from the crossroad ahead we walk on the road only few steps, because then blazes lead left in the forest on a marked footpath.
We at first walk on a nicely followable cart track which soon turns to the right and entirely flattens. Here blazes lead slightly left on a marked, but quite poorly beaten footpath which starts ascending steeper through the forest. Further blazes are quite frequent, so that in spite of badly beaten path there aren't any bigger problems with orientation. Higher, we for some time walk on a little wider path, but blazes quite quickly lead on a steep footpath which is ascending towards Križna gora. After few minutes, the steepness decreases and from the left joins also a marked path from the cave Križna jama (path from the cave Križna jama is on most crossings marked, but otherwise it isn't marked).
Here we continue straight or slightly right on the path which in 3 minutes of a moderate ascent brings us to the top of Križna gora, where there is a church of the Holy Cross.
