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).
We continue on significantly narrower footpath which starts descending diagonally towards the right. After few minutes of descent, the path for a short time ascends, and then starts descending even steeper on a steep and mainly in wet for slipping dangerous slopes. During the descent, we soon get to ruins, and only a little further also to cottages of still relatively well preserved partisan hospital.
