Access to starting point:
We drive on a south Ljubljana bypass road and go to the exit Ig. At the crossroads, we follow the road in the direction of Ig. In Ig we continue towards Iška vas (to here we can also come from Podpeč or Škofljica). We then follow a well-marked road to a large parking lot near the hut Dom v Iškem Vintgarju.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we walk to the mountain hut Dom v Iškem Vintgarju, after that immediately behind the hut we continue right on an ascending cart track in the direction of Krim and Partisan hospital Krvavice. Cart track goes immediately into a dense forest, and by it we notice a notification, that we are entering in a bear area. Further, we are ascending on a marked cart track (cart track has quite a few crossings, so we carefully follow the blazes), which at the altitude of 650 meters brings us to the spot, where to the left (straight) marked path branches off towards the partisan hospital Krvavice (turn-off isn't marked). The path on Krim here turns to the right and flattens a little. Next follows few minutes of a moderate ascent, and then the path brings us to a macadam road which we follow to the right. After a short ascent on the road, signs for Krim point us sharp to the left, on a wide cart track, on which in few minutes of easy walking we step on ample grassy slopes. The path ahead brings us to the power line, after which we soon step on a macadam road.
On the road, we step near a smaller crossroad, and we continue on a bad road (direction Krim). Next follows approximately 15 minute walk on the road, and then signs point us to the left on a steep cart track (here join paths from Iška and Strahomer). Next follows a diagonal ascent on a wide cart track which higher brings us to a large parking lot or turning point below the summit of Krim. From here we continue past a cross on the more and more panoramic mountain path, on which in less than 5 minutes of additional walking, we ascend to the summit.
