Access to starting point:
We leave Štajerska highway at exit Domžale, and then we follow the signs for castle Krumperk. We park only a little further from the highway, on a parking lot by the ski jumping hills SSK Sam Ihan.
Path description:
At the end of the ski jumping center, by the spot where by the macadam road there is a sign for prohibited parking, we go on a footpath which passes into the forest and starts moderately ascending. Higher, the path several times splits, and higher again joins and it isn't important which directions we are choosing, important is only, that we are ascending. After approximately 15 minutes of ascent also a marked path from Domžale joins, and we continue a light to moderate ascent, which ends on Veliki vrh.
From Veliki vrh we continue straight, on the path which starts moderately descending, and at the crossings we follow otherwise rare blazes. A little lower we come out of the forest and we lightly ascend through a meadow to a macadam road, where there is a marked crossing.
On a marked path continues the path towards Sveta Trojica, and on the macadam road in a minute or two of additional walking, we ascend to the church of St. Kunigunda.
From the church, we return to the last crossing, and then we continue in the direction of Oklo and Sveta Trojica. When we few minutes ahead leave the forest, we cross the route of a high voltage power line, and then we get to equestrian center Konjeniški center Brdo pri Ihanu, where we step on an asphalt road. On the asphalt road, we at first descend a little to a crossroad, by which there is a chapel, and then we ascend on the road which continues left from the chapel (to the church of St. Miklavž we can get to even if at the chapel we go on the road which continues on the right side of the chapel).
The path ahead leads us on the asphalt road towards the settlement Dobovlje, and only few minutes ahead, at the left turn we leave it and we continue right on a cart track. At first the path still leads us quite near the asphalt road, and then it turns a little to the right, and higher it brings us to a smaller crossing, where we continue on a slightly right cart track (slightly left we can get to Dobovlje or to Oklo). The cart track which in a gentle ascent crosses slopes towards the right, we then follow all the way to the church of St. Miklavž on Goropeče.
Behind the church, we go left, at first slightly upwards and then we follow the cart track which crosses slopes towards the right and a little further joins the asphalt road which we reach between the chapel on the left and the farm on the right. We follow the road to the left, and we walk there few minutes, or to a miniature hayrack, where yellow white blazes point us to the left on a cart track. On the cart track, we are few minutes ascending diagonally, and then blazes point us to the right on a little narrower footpath. The footpath quickly widens, and then a quite gently sloping path quickly brings us to NOB monument in Oklo.
