Access to starting point:
A) From highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we go to the exit Vodice, and then we continue driving to a first traffic light crossroad in Vodice, where we continue left in the direction of Cerklje na Gorenjskem and Brnik. When we get to the main roundabout in Spodnji Brnik we continue driving in the direction of Cerklje and ski slope Krvavec. At the end of the settlement Cerklje na Gorenjskem we leave the main road which continues towards Velesovo and Visoko and we continue driving slightly right on a road in the direction of the ski slope Krvavec. Further, we get to the village Grad, where signs for settlement Ambrož pod Krvavcem point us to the right on a steep asphalt road (straight bottom station of the cable car on Krvavec and Štefanja Gora). When the steepness on a steep road decreases a little, we will get to a crossroad, where we continue left in the direction of the settlement Ambrož pod Krvavcem (straight settlement Ravne, Apno and Šenturška Gora). A little further, the road for some time descends a little and then it is ascending through occasionally quite panoramic slopes. Higher, we get to Ambrož pod Krvavcem, where on the left side we bypass church of St. Ambrož and tourist farm Pr Ambružarju. From the tourist farm ahead road passes into the forest and is ascending through it all the way to the mountain pasture Jezerca, where there is a large parking lot.
B) From highway Jesenice - Ljubljana we go to the exit Kranj - east, and then we continue driving towards Brnik, Komenda and Mengeš.

From the tourist farm ahead road passes into the forest and is ascending through it all the way to the mountain pasture Jezerca, where there is a large parking lot.
Path description:
At the end of the large parking lot road splits, and we continue on the left main road which leads towards the ski slope Krvavec (right road leads to the nearby cottages on the mountain pasture Jezerca). Immediately after turn, by which there is a larger number of information boards and signposts is a gate through the road, and then we on the road start lightly ascending. After few steps, or at the spot, where the road passes into the forest mountain path branches off to the left, which leads towards Davovec and Štefanja Gora. After approximately 10 minutes, in the middle of the left turn, the road towards the mountain pasture Kriška planina branches off to the right, and we continue on the left wider road which starts considerably ascending. A little higher on a smaller plain also second road towards the mountain pasture Kriška planina branches off to the right (road towards the tourist farm Viženčar and mountain dairy Pr Florjan). We still continue on "main road", and it leads above watering place for livestock. Further, the road is ascending diagonally, and leads partly through the forest, and partly on panoramic slopes, from which a nice view opens up towards Gorenjska. When the road flattens then quickly brings us to the upper station of the cable car, opposite of which is situated a mountain hut Dom on Gospincu or mountain hut Koča Rozka.
From the mountain hut Dom na Gospincu, which is situated opposite of the upper station of the cable car on Krvavec, we at first descend to garages, and from there we continue in the direction of Hotel Krvavec (if we came to the starting point from the mountain pasture Jezerce, then we bypass mountain hut and the upper station of the cable car on the bottom the left side). We continue on the road which leads us past beginning of Bike park Krvavec ("downhill track"), and only few steps further from the left joins also a marked path from the saddle Davovec (starting point Spodnja Kokra, Štefanja gora and the bottom station of the cable car on Krvavec).
We continue on the road which continues by the summer park Krvavec, and then passes into the forest, where it leads us also past adventure park. Above adventure park we also get to boarding house Penzion Tia, and after the boarding house in few hairpin turns we ascend to Hotel Krvavec, which is situated left from the macadam road.
