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 at first we 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.
The path ahead leads us on the asphalt road towards the settlement Dobovlje. When we get to Dobovlje an unmarked path branches off to the right towards the church of St. Miklavž and towards Oklo, and we continue straight, at first a little downwards, and then on a gently sloping road which past few houses and through a meadow passes into the forest. In the forest, at the crossroad we continue straight (right - Oklo nad Ihanom), a little further, and at the next crossroad, we go slightly right, on the road by which we notice yellow white blazes. Before the road becomes asphalted, from the right joins also the path which leads past Oklo, and we start ascending past houses in the settlement Žeje. Here at the first crossroad we go left, and when we reach the main road, we go right in the direction of Sveta Trojica.
The path ahead leads us by the main road, where we walk past the fire station, sports field, and then we already get to the settlement Sveta Trojica. Further by the road we are accompanied by the signs of Way of the Cross, and when the road flattens we continue left towards the church of the Holy Trinity, to which we have only 2 minutes of walking. And if at the last crossroad we continue straight, after a minute of additional walking, we get to snack bar Okrepčevalnica na Zavrhu.
