Access to starting point:
First, we drive to Ig, and then we continue driving towards Škofljica. At the end of Ig, in sharp the left turn we will notice side road which from the main turns to the right (direction straight). The mentioned road then through the village Kremenica brings us to a crossroad, where two roads towards Draga branch off to the right (we go on second road). We follow this road to the parking lot by the lake and hunting lodge.
Path description:
The described path because of the passage through private land isn't passable.
From the parking lot, we continue past the hunting lodge on an unmarked path which runs on an embankment of the south part of the lake Veliki ribnik. On the other side of the lake path goes into the forest, where it joins the cart track which we follow to the right. After few 10 strides of additional walking cart track splits into two parts. We continue on the left, which starts ascending (bottom right circles the lake) and only a little further brings us to the next crossing. Here we continue sharply left and we continue the ascent on a little steeper cart track which higher joins the asphalt road.
We follow the road to the right, and it soon comes out of the forest on panoramic grassy slopes. After few minutes of walking on the road, we will notice on the left side bad macadam road which we then follow to the church of St. Rupert.
