SSK Sam Ihan - Murovica (via Dobovlje)

Access to starting point:
We leave the Štajerska highway at the Domžale exit and then follow the signs for Krumperk Castle. We park just a little further from the highway, in the parking lot by the SSK Sam Ihan ski jumping hills.

Path description:
At the end of the ski jumping center, by the spot where there is a sign for prohibited parking by the macadam road, we head onto the footpath, which passes into the forest and starts to ascend moderately. Higher up, the path splits several times, then joins again higher up, and it does not matter which directions we choose; the important thing is only that we ascend. After approximately 15 minutes of ascent, a marked path from Domžale also joins us, and we continue the light to moderate ascent, which ends at Veliki vrh.
From Veliki vrh we continue straight ahead along the path, which starts to descend moderately; at the junctions, we follow the otherwise rare blazes. A little lower, we emerge from the forest and lightly ascend across a meadow to the macadam road, where there is a marked junction.
The path toward Sv. Trojica continues along the marked path, but we ascend along the macadam road in one or two minutes of further walking to the church of St. Kunigunda.
From the church, we return to the last junction, then continue in the direction of Okle and Sv. Trojica. When we leave the forest a few minutes further on, we cross the route of high-voltage power lines, then arrive at the Konjeniški center Brdo pri Ihanu equestrian center, where we step onto an asphalt road. Along the asphalt road, we first descend slightly to a junction by which there is a chapel, then ascend along the road that continues to the left of the chapel.
The path ahead leads us along the asphalt road toward the settlement Dobovlje. When we arrive in Dobovlje, an unmarked path branches off to the right toward the church of St. Miklavž and toward Okle, but we continue straight ahead, first slightly downhill, then along a gently sloping road that passes by a few houses and across a meadow into the forest. In the forest, at the junction we continue straight (right: Oklo nad Ihanom); a little further on, at the next junction, we go slightly right onto the road beside which we notice yellow-white blazes. Before the road becomes asphalt, a path leading past Okle also joins us from the right, and we begin to ascend past houses in the settlement Žeje. Here, at the first junction, we go left; when we reach the main road, we go right in the direction of Sv. Trojica.
The path ahead leads us along the main road, where we pass the fire station and sports field, then soon arrive in the settlement Sveta Trojica. Further along, the Way of the Cross markers accompany us beside the road; when the road levels out, we continue left toward the church of Sv. Trojica, which is just 2 minutes' walk away. From the church, we return to the last junction, then continue left to the Okrepčevalnica na Zavrhu snack bar, which we bypass on the left side. A little further on, we arrive at a junction by a religious symbol, from which we continue along the upper right and still-asphalted road, which ascends moderately through the forest. Soon we reach a smaller junction, where a path branches sharply right to the ruins of the nearby castle and the castle well. Here we continue straight, and we follow the road that brings us out of the forest to a hamlet of a few weekend cottages, where there is also a small parking lot and hiking signposts.
From the signposts, we continue along the marked hiking path in the direction of Murovica and Cicelj. The path ahead first continues along the fence, then gradually enters dense forest, through which it mostly ascends moderately. Higher up, the path turns slightly right, and a marked path from the village Zgornja Javoršica joins us from the left. Here we continue straight, and after two minutes of further walking, we arrive at the top of Murovica, where there are quite a few wooden benches.
