Muljava - Source of Krka

Access to starting point:
A) From the highway Ljubljana - Obrežje we take the exit Ivančna Gorica, and then we continue driving towards Žužemberk. When we get to the settlement Muljava, in the middle of the settlement we turn right in the direction of Jurčičeva domačija homestead and then we park on the parking lot immediately after the crossroad.
B) First, we drive to Žužemberk, and then we continue driving towards Muljava and Ivančna Gorica. In Muljava we leave the main road and in the middle of the right turn we continue straight in the direction of Jurčičeva domačija homestead. We park on the parking lot by the crossroad.

Path description:
At the starting point signs for Jurčičeva pot path direct us onto the asphalt road in the direction of village Potok. The road first descends, then past a crucifix brings us to a bridge over the stream Bržiček, after which the road starts ascending. After a short ascent, we join the original route of the Jurčičeva pot path which leads past the Jurčičeva domačija homestead, and from the center of the village Potok we continue left, on the road which gradually flattens and leaves the village. At the end of the village, the path leads also past the chapel of St. Anthony, and then continues along the fields, after which it enters the forest. Through the forest, we walk on the macadam road, and then we reach an asphalt road which we follow to the right. The path ahead quickly reaches the village Znojile, from where a nice view opens up onto the valley by the source of the river Krka. In the second part of the village, the road starts descending, and we continue on the road to the spot, where at the double hayrack (toplar) signs for the source of Krka direct us to the right. After the double hayrack, we leave the road and continue on at first a poorer footpath which continues through a meadow or a little above the nearby vineyard. Next follows crossing a narrow strip of forest, and then on a grassy cart track we reach Trebnja Gorica, where at the crossroad in the middle of the village we continue right. After the dense part of the settlement signs for Jurčičeva pot path direct us slightly to the left, on a cart track which diagonally descends through a meadow, and we continue along it all the way to the nearby source of the river Krka.
