Access to starting point:
A) From Gorenja vas, Ljubljana or Kranj we drive to Škofja Loka, and then we continue driving towards Železniki. At the end of Škofja Loka we notice signs for Križna Gora, which point us to the right on a little narrower road, on which we quickly get to the village Moškrin. At the beginning of the village, we continue slightly left (right - center of the village Moškrin) on the road, on which only a little further we get to the forest. We park on an appropriate place by the road.
B) We drive to Železniki, and then we continue driving towards Škofja Loka. At the beginning of Škofja Loka, only a little further from a turn-off for village Trnje, we turn left in the direction of Križna Gora and village Moškrin and then we drive on a little narrower asphalt road, on which we quickly get to the beginning of the village Moškrin. At the beginning of the village, we continue slightly left (right - center of the village Moškrin) on the road, on which only a little further we get to the forest. We park on an appropriate place by the road.
Path description:
From the spot, where we've parked, we continue on the asphalt road which is moderately ascending through the forest. Higher, i.e. after approximately 15 minutes of walking, we get to a crossroad, where we continue left in the direction of hamlet Cavrn (right - village Križna Gora).
From the crossroad, we short time still walk through the forest and then we get out of the forest on a panoramic meadow. When the road makes a left turn, we will on the right side notice a cross and next to it a cart track which is ascending on a panoramic grassy slope.
We continue on the mentioned cart track (left on the road - hamlet Cavrn and forward on a marked path - Škofja Loka and Trnje), which quickly passes into the forest. In the forest, the cart track splits into two parts, we choose the left marked, which only a little higher starts ascending diagonally towards the right. During the crossing a nice view opens up towards the church of the Holy Cross on Križna gora and Kamnik Savinja Alps. The path quickly returns into the forest, which then ends just before a smaller saddle, where the path again splits.
If we continue left, we will in few steps come to the hunting cottage, if we continue right we will in few 10 strides come to the church of the Holy Cross, from which a beautiful view opens up.
