Access to starting point:
A) First, we drive on Ig, and from there we continue driving in the direction of Iška vas and Iški Vintgar. Immediately after Iška vas we will come in the village Iška, where the road towards Gornji Ig and Rakitna branches off sharply to the right. We go on the mentioned ascending road, on which we drive past Gornji Ig and higher also past the turn-off of the road on Krim. Few 100 meters ahead from turn-off for Krim we get to a larger meadow, where the road flattens, and on the other side of meadow turns left and returns into the forest. Only few meters before the road passes into the forest, we will notice on the left side NOB monument and by it appropriate space for parking.
B) From highway Ljubljana - Koper we go to the exit Brezovica, and then we continue driving in the direction of Podpeč (to Podpeč we can also come from Črna vas or Ig). In Podpeč we continue in the direction of Borovnica, Krim and Rakitna and continue driving for a short time by the edge of Ljubljana marshes, and then signs for Rakitna point us to the left on a steep ascending road. The road then leads us through Preserje, where it also starts descending. After a short descent, we continue left in the direction of Krim and Rakitna, and then mostly ascending road we follow to a crossroad, where the road towards Krim branches off to the left. From the mentioned crossroad, we continue left and then we continue driving on a macadam road. When after few kilometers road comes out of the forest on a larger meadow, we will immediately at the beginning notice monument NOB and by it suitable place, where we can park.
C) First, we drive to Cerknica, and then we continue driving in the direction Begunje, when we get to Begunje we follow the signs for Rakitna. From Rakitna we continue driving on the main road towards the settlement Preserje, and we are driving there to the crossroad, where a road towards Krim branches off to the right. From the mentioned crossroad, we continue right, and then we continue driving on a macadam road. When after few kilometers road comes out of the forest on a larger meadow, we will immediately at the beginning notice monument NOB and by it suitable place, where we can park.
Path description:
From the starting point near the NOB monument starts a cart track which continues towards the southeast. Cart track immediately goes into the forest and after few 10 strides splits, and we continue on a slightly left one. Follows a light ascent, and then on the right a large clearing appears, and still before it we notice few benches, and a little to the right also a hunting observatory.
We don't step on the mentioned clearing and we continue on a cart track which runs left from it. After the nearby site of wild garlic follow few crossings, and we are choosing those cart tracks, which continue on an indistinct forested valley. When a little further we reach the path marked with white triangles, which have red trim we continue left (if we continue right we can get to the farm Ustje).
Further, we follow the mentioned signs, and on the left we soon notice a smaller clearing. On the part, where there is a clearing on our left, right from the marked path there is peak Mišnice, to which we ascend after few 10 strides of steep ascent on pathless terrain. In the winter time from the peak view opens up a little, otherwise the view is veiled by the forest.
