Access to starting point:
A) From highway Ljubljana - Koper we go to the exit Brezovica, from there we continue driving left on the old road towards Vrhnika. Still in Brezovica, we notice signs for Podpeč, which point us to the left. Ahead we drive through Vnanje and Notranje Gorice to Podpeč, where at the crossroad we continue left towards the village Jezero. We follow the road through the village few 100 meters, whereupon signs for lake Podpeško jezero point us to the right. Further, we follow a little narrower road to the parking lot by lake Podpeško jezero.
B) From Ljubljana, we drive to Črna vas, and then we continue driving towards the settlement Podpeč, where we join the road from Brezovica. In Podpeč we again continue left (direction Jezero). Further, we drive for few 100 meters, whereupon signs for lake Podpeško jezero point us to the right on a little narrower road which we follow to the parking lot by the already mentioned lake.
Path description:
From the parking lot at lake Podpeško jezero we return good 100 meters back, and then we go on the road in the direction of Krim (left road looking from the direction of access to the starting point). We continue through the village, and at the crossroads, we stick to the right directions. After approximately 15 minutes of easy walking we come to homestead Špelin, where signs for Krim point us to the left on an ascending footpath which quickly passes into the forest. Further, we are short time ascending relatively steeply, and then we join the cart track from the village Jezero (there we would come, if at the smaller crossroad behind the chapel we would continue on the left road). We follow the cart track uphill, and it soon brings us to a macadam road which we only cross. A short ascent through the forest follows and the path brings us on meadows of area named Planinca (also Planinica). Here the path turns to the left and it quickly brings us to a lonely homestead, behind which from the left joins the path past Ledenica. Here we continue right and in few additional strides, we get to the church of St. Tomaž on Planinca.
Church we bypass on the left side and we continue on a gentle cart track which gradually passes into the forest. Cart track soon ascends steeper for a short time, and then turns slightly to the right, where gradually passes on the western slopes. Here from the right joins the path from Dolenja Brezovica, and we continue straight on a gradually steeper cart track. A little higher we cross another forest road, and then the path starts turning slightly towards the left, where after few additional minutes of a moderate ascent joins the path from Strahomer, Vrbljene and Tomišelj.
We continue right in the direction of Krim and we continue on at first gentle, and then gradually more and more steep cart track. Cart track higher turns a little to the left and then to the right. After the latter turn it also entirely flattens and few 10 meters ahead also joins the road which leads on Krim. The mentioned road, we follow to the left, and after 10 minutes of walking, it brings us to the parking lot and turning point below the summit of Krim. Here we continue right and on the road or marked footpath in few minutes of additional walking, we get to the top of Krim.
