Access to starting point:
If we come from the highway Ljubljana-Jesenice, we go to the exit Vodice, we then follow the signs for Cerklje and Krvavec. We continue straight through Cerklje, past pizzeria Pod Jenkovo lipo on the left side through the village Grad. We drive straight, until the road splits towards the bottom station of the cableway (left) and Ambrož pod Krvavcem (right). Here we park on an appropriate place. Because it is a busy road which past the settlement leads towards Krvavec and the bottom station of the cableway, there aren't any settled parking lots. We can leave the car on the right side, before the road starts ascending towards Krvavec, or at an appropriate place which leads towards the bottom station of the cableway.
Path description:
The path starts behind the house, at the crossing of two busy roads. Already from the road we notice the first Station of the Cross. Because in the Lent period, the pilgrimage path leads here. The path immediately starts ascending, at the turn there is a chapel. We all the time follow a well-beaten path straight, we are accompanied by blazes and pictures of the Way of the Cross. On the left a view opens up back on the village Grad and Dvorje. The path is for some time still ascending, and after 20 minutes of ascent, it is slowly becoming less steep. We get to a wider crossing (so-called "Skok"), from where we again continue straight, now on a cart track. The forest is slowly vanishing, a view opens up on village, left meadows, in the distance Štefanja gora and in good weather also Triglav, and above the village there is forest and Krvavec. We continue straight towards the bus stop, the road becomes asphalted, and then we continue left towards the village. In the center of the village, we continue right in the direction towards the church, and that leads us to a trough with water, where we can refresh ourselves, and left we continue towards the church of the Holy Cross. At the church a view opens up on Štefanja gora, at the back there is Triglav.
