Preserje - Žalostna gora at Preserje

Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Koper we go to the exit Brezovica, and then we continue driving in the direction of Podpeč. In Podpeč, from where also roads from Črna vas and Ig join, we continue right in the direction of Krim, Rakitna and Borovnica. The road towards Borovnica we follow for a short time, and then signs for Rakitna point us to the left upwards on a little narrower and mainly steep road which we then follow to the settlement Preserje. In Preserje road towards Rakitna branches off sharply to the left, and we continue straight in the direction of Kamnik pod Krimom. From the crossroad, we follow the main road few 10 meters more, and then we turn left towards a parish church of St. Vid in Preserje, in front of which we park on a large asphalt parking lot.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we return to the main road, on which we start descending towards Kamnik pod Krimom. After a short descent, we get to the mentioned settlement, and the road then stops descending, or is then even slightly ascending. The path ahead leads us past a bigger chapel, behind which we quickly get to the church of St. Florijan. Behind the church, which is situated few meters away from the main road, the road starts descending.
At the spot or few meters further, where the road starts descending we leave the main road and we continue on the left road in the direction of Žalostna gora. Next follows a very short gentle ascent and we already get to the next crossroad, where signs for Žalostna gora point us to the right (slightly left Prevalje pod Krimom). From the crossroad, by which there is another chapel, the road at first slightly descends, and then starts gently to moderately ascending. Further, the road leads us past few more residential houses, and then changes into macadam, on which through linden avenue, we ascend to the top of Žalostna gora.
