Borovec pri Kočevski Reki - Krempa

Access to starting point:
From Ljubljana, we drive towards Velike Lašče and forward towards Kočevje. Soon after Ribnica, at the settlement Dolenja vas, we leave the main road which leads towards Kočevje and we continue right in the direction of Gotenica and Kočevska Reka. When we come in Kočevska Reka, at the first a little larger but unmarked crossroad we go right and then we continue driving on a narrower road which after few kilometers of additional driving brings us to the village Borovec pri Kočevski Reki. In the center of the village Borovec is a crossroad near of which we can park, otherwise we continue driving in the direction of saddle Krempa and then we park on an appropriate place by the road.

Path description:
From the crossroad in Borovec we go left in the direction of saddle Krempa and we continue on the asphalt road for approximately 100 meters and then blazes point us to the right on a macadam road. The road ahead runs through a larger meadow, then crosses a lane of a forest and then it brings us to the upper part of the village, after which by the path, we notice an information board.
From information boards we continue on a marked path, that is gently ascending through an ample meadow. On the upper part of the meadow or pasture we notice a hunting observatory, and the path goes only few meters behind it into a dense forest, through which we are ascending on a wide and well-settled path, by which we notice the blazes in the shape of daffodils. A moderately steep path which runs on the bottom of the small valley, higher brings us out of the forest on a grassy slope, where we can in (usually) May admire blooming of daffodils, which is also pointed out by the information board by a pleasant bench with table. From the information board in few 10 strides we ascend on a saddle Kremparsko sedlo, from which a nice view opens up through a valley Zgornja Kolpska dolina.
On the saddle, we go left in the direction of the peak Krempa, and we continue the ascent on a marked path which leads in the forest. The path ahead steeply ascends through mostly pine forest and after crossing of short steep and mainly in wet for slipping dangerous slopes it brings us to an exposed vantage point (we can avoid steep slope a little to the left). We continue the ascent on a relatively steep path, and in few minutes of additional walking brings us on peak Krempa, in the middle of which there is an inscription box.
