Access to starting point:
A) We drive to Kranj, and then we follow the signs for Besnica (turn off from old road Ljubljana - Kranj is before the bridge over the river Sava, or after the bridge if we come from the direction Kranj). Further, we drive through Spodnja and Zgornja Besnica and Njivica. Even a little further, we get to Nemilje, after the mentioned settlement the road starts ascending steeper. When we get to Podblica, we follow the main road, when on the right we notice a recycling spot, we park on an appropriate place by the recycling spot. We park the way we don't hinder garbage removal.
B) From Železniki we drive to Dražgoše, and then we continue driving towards Kropa. Next follows diagonal driving on slopes of Jelovica, and then we get to a crossroad, where the road towards Kranj branches off sharply to the right (turn-off for Kranj is only from the opposite direction). Here we continue sharply right (if the turn is too sharp is about 50 meters ahead settled turning point), and then we descend into Podblica, where before the center of the settlement on the left we notice a recycling spot, by which we park. We park the way we don't hinder garbage removal.
C) We drive into Kropa, and then we continue driving towards Dražgoše and Železniki. After the settlement Jamnik we leave the road towards Dražgoše and we continue driving left towards Kranj. Next follows a descent to the settlement Podblica, where we park on an appropriate place by the recycling spot. We park the way we don't hinder garbage removal.
Path description:
Few strides above the recycling spot there is a marked crossroad, from where we continue left in the direction towards Sveti Mohor (right footpath on Jamnik and Peka piškotov Metka). The path ahead leads us on a cart track which ascends diagonally through an ample meadow, and after a smaller religious symbol passes into the forest. Through the forest, we are still mainly ascending diagonally, and then at the chapel we reach the marked crossing, from where we continue right towards Lajše (left Sveti Mohor, straight Selca).
The path ahead still leads on a cart track which is gently to moderately ascending. A little higher we for some time step out of the forest on a panoramic meadow, and then after a smaller cottage, which we notice on the right side, the path returns into the forest. Next follows few minutes of ascent through the forest and then we reach another meadow, where the path leads us on its left edge. A little higher, the path turns left and past the abandoned farm Lobnikar brings us to an asphalt road which we follow to the left and then we quickly reach the church of St. Jedert.
From the church, we continue on the asphalt road, and at the nearby crossroad, we continue straight in the direction of Dražgoše. The path ahead with nice views leads past two NOB monuments, and then we get to Dražgoše, where behind the house in front of which is a chapel, we go left on a side road. The path ahead leads us past few houses, and then we already get to slopes of Sleme, where before the lane of a forest, a cart track branches off to the left, which leads to transmitters, and we continue few 10 meters more on the asphalt road, and in the middle of the left turn, we go from there left. The path ahead leads us on a panoramic cart track which on the ridge in few minutes brings us on Sleme.
From the top, we continue to the nearby transmitters, where from the left joins the before mentioned cart track. We continue straight, on the path which goes into the forest and starts gently to moderately descending. A little lower, the path from the ridge passes on a slope, and few steps ahead out of the forest on an older clearing, today mainly a grassy slope with some trees in the upper part. Even a little further, we reach an asphalt road, and there we continue the ascent to a marked crossing. We continue on a forest path (right a private asphalt road), on which we ascend to the top of the hill, where we step out of the forest. From the spot, when we step out of the forest, to the church of the Holy Cross separates us only few 10 strides of walking.
