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, and when on the right we notice a recycling spot, there is the beginning of the described path. By the recycling spot we don't park, because we would block the access to the waste containers. We park on an appropriate place by the road lower or higher by the road.
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 about 50 meters ahead there is a settled turning point), and then we descend into Podblica, where still before the center of the settlement on the left we notice a recycling spot, where the described path begins. By the recycling spot we don't park, because we would block the access to the waste containers. We park on an appropriate place by the road lower or higher by the road.
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 by the recycling spot there is the beginning of the described path. By the recycling spot we don't park, because we would block the access to the waste containers. We park on an appropriate place by the road lower or higher by the road.
Path description:
From the crossroad above recycling spot we continue right in the direction of Jamnik and Peka piškotov Metka. The path at first leads on a narrower asphalt road, and past few houses. At the last house, we go right on a cart track, and there we are mostly ascending diagonally. Higher, we reach newer house, which we bypass on the upper side, and after the yard we again continue on a cart track which leads us past a religious symbol. A little further, we reach the main road Dražgoše - Kropa, which we follow to the right (straight, or slightly left - Bela peč). With nice views we reach the village Jamnik, where the road splits. We continue on the upper road above the village, or we can also on the bottom through the village. Both roads after few minutes join, and towards Kropa we walk for few minutes, and then signs for the church of St. Primož and Felicijan point us to the right downwards. Next follows a descent on the stairs, and then we reach a panoramic ridge, on which in few minutes we walk to the mentioned church, from which a beautiful view opens up.
