Planina Jezerca - Krvavec

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. 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.

Path description:
At the end of the parking lot, where the road turns to the left, and the road branches off to the right towards the nearby mountain pasture Jezerca, we will notice red hiking signposts, which point us straight on a marked footpath in the direction of Kriška planina, Vrh Korena, Košutna, Kompotela and Mokrica, which ascends through pastures of the already mentioned mountain pasture. After a short ascent, we reach the cart track, and we follow it to the left, where we cross slopes of Križišče (1658 meters). Cart track, on which we walk quickly splits into two parts, and we continue straight on the lower. For some time a nice view opens up towards Kranj, Škofjeloško hribovje and Storžič, and then the path starts lightly descending. Next follows few minutes of walking, and then we get to the parking lot by the lower part of the mountain pasture Kriška planina.
Here slightly to the right marked path continues towards Planina Koren, and we continue straight on the other side of the valley, where we start ascending on a grassy slope towards the nearby hamlet. After a short ascent, we get to mountain dairy Pr Florjan, which we bypass on the right side. Above mountain dairy we gradually step on a nicely beaten, but poorly marked footpath which starts ascending steeper on a grassy slope. Higher, we reach worse, partly grassy cart track, and we are ascending there to the spot, where it turns right. From the mentioned turn, we continue straight on a little less distinct path, on which in few minutes we ascend to the mountain hut Dom na Krvavcu.
At Dom na Krvavcu we step on a macadam road, and we start ascending there in the direction of the summit of Krvavec and Zvoh. Further, the path at first leads past the transmitter tower, and with nice views, we get to entirely unmarked crossing, where from the road a marked pathless terrain branches off to the right, which leads towards the summit of Krvavec.
From here we have two options for the ascent, we can continue right and by the edge of the ski slope, just by the fence, on which we notice few blazes we ascend to the summit of Krvavec, or we continue straight and we follow the road to a smaller crossroad. In this case, at the mentioned crossroad we continue sharply right, and then in few minutes we ascend on a panoramic peak with inscription box, inscription book and a stamp. The path on the road is few minutes longer, but less steep as the one, which continues by the edge of the ski slope.
While ski slope operates it is forbidden to walk on part of the path, where it runs over ski track.
