Access to starting point:
A) We drive to Kranj, and then we follow the signs for Besnica (turn off from old road Ljubljana - Kranj is before the bridge over the river Sava, or after the bridge if we come from the direction Kranj). Further, we drive through Spodnja and Zgornja Besnica and Njivica. Even a little further, we get to Nemilje, after the mentioned settlement the road starts ascending steeper. When we get to Podblica, we follow the main road, and when on the right we notice a recycling spot, there is the beginning of the described path. By the recycling spot we don't park, because we would block the access to the waste containers. We park on an appropriate place by the road lower or higher by the road.
B) From Železniki we drive to Dražgoše, and then we continue driving towards Kropa. Next follows diagonal driving on slopes of Jelovica, and then we get to a crossroad, where the road towards Kranj branches off sharply to the right (turn-off for Kranj is only from the opposite direction). Here we continue sharply right (if the turn is too sharp about 50 meters ahead there is a settled turning point), and then we descend into Podblica, where still before the center of the settlement on the left we notice a recycling spot, where the described path begins. By the recycling spot we don't park, because we would block the access to the waste containers. We park on an appropriate place by the road lower or higher by the road.
C) We drive into Kropa, and then we continue driving towards Dražgoše and Železniki. After the settlement Jamnik we leave the road towards Dražgoše and we continue driving left towards Kranj. Next follows a descent to the settlement Podblica, where by the recycling spot there is the beginning of the described path. By the recycling spot we don't park, because we would block the access to the waste containers. We park on an appropriate place by the road lower or higher by the road.
Path description:
Few strides above the recycling spot there is a marked crossroad, from where we continue left in the direction towards Sveti Mohor (right footpath on Jamnik and Peka piškotov Metka). The path ahead leads us on a cart track which ascends diagonally through an ample meadow, and after a smaller religious symbol passes into the forest. Through the forest, we are still mainly ascending diagonally, and then at the chapel we reach the marked crossing, from where we continue left towards Sveti Mohor (straight - Selca, right - Lajše and Dražgoše).
We go slightly left and we mostly continue on a cart track, only for some time on a little steeper descending path. Lower, we reach the road which leads from the village Nemilje towards the village Selca, and we only cross it and we continue the ascent on a marked path through the forest, and it starts ascending. Next follow few crossings, where we carefully follow the blazes, and the path leads into a dense forest, through which we start steeply ascending. The path soon flattens and joins the next cart track, and on which we quickly reach an asphalt road. We continue on the asphalt road, on which with increasingly beautiful views on surrounding hills we get to a smaller hamlet, where signs for Sveti Mohor point us to the right on a cart track which starts ascending diagonally towards the right. Higher, the cart track turns sharply to the left, crosses a lane of a forest and brings us on the upper grassy slope. Here the path moderately ascends and with a view on the highest peaks of Kamnik and Savinja Alps on the left and on Škofjeloško hribovje, Jelovica, part of Julian Alps and Karawanks brings us to the spot, where there is the inscription box. From the inscription box follows only few 10 strides of a light ascent and we already get to the church of St. Mohor and Fortunat.
