Access to starting point:
A) From highway Ljubljana - Koper we go to the exit Brezovica, and then we continue driving in the direction Podpeč (to Podpeč we can also come from Črna vas or Ig). In Podpeč we continue in the direction of Borovnica, Krim and Rakitna and continue driving for a short time by the edge of Ljubljana marshes, and then signs for Rakitna point us to the left on a steep ascending road. The road then leads us through Preserje, where it also starts descending. After a short descent, we continue left in the direction of Krim and Rakitna, and then we follow mostly ascending road to the spot, where a road branches off to the right towards few 10 meters distant hut Polharski dom Krim (Polharski dom is located between hunting cottage Plehanov laz and turn off road on Krim). We park on an appropriate place nearby mountain hut.
B) First, we drive to Cerknica, and then we continue driving in the direction of Begunje, when we get to Begunje we follow the signs for Rakitna. From Rakitna we continue driving on the main road towards the settlement Preserje. At first the road ascends on a smaller saddle, and then it brings us to the spot, where a road towards Krim branches off to the right. Here we continue straight, and then we soon get to the left turn, where second macadam road branches off to the right. About 100 meters ahead on the right we notice a smaller parking lot with a bench and table, where we can already park or we drive few 10 meters ahead, where we turn left towards hut Polharski dom Krim.
Path description:
From Polharski dom Krim we return to the main road and we start ascending there. The path soon brings us to a smaller parking lot with a bench and table, and the road quickly ascends to the right turn, where the forest road branches off to the left on which we continue. Some 10 meters ahead forest for some time ends and the path brings us to a larger meadow, where on the right we notice bee house. On the other side of the meadow, the road splits into two parts, and we continue on the left road (right road after few meters ends at some sort of park). We continue on the road which is barely noticeably ascending through the forest, and from the plateau terrain it gradually passes on slopes of Srednji hrib (836 meters), where only for some time a view opens up a little. When the road entirely flattens we get to a little bigger crossroad, where we continue straight (right ascending road leads towards Brancljeva senožet) on the bottom road which further even slightly descends. Few minutes ahead we get to the spot, where the road crosses the marked path or cart track which leads from the hunting cottage Plehanov laz towards Krim.
On the mentioned spot, we leave the road and we continue the ascent right on a marked cart track. Cart track is further mostly moderately ascending, and during the ascent leads us past some spots, where crosses some of numerous cart tracks. All the time we follow the blazes, and then still forest path brings us to the road which leads towards the summit of Krim. The mentioned road, we only cross and we continue the ascent on a cart track which starts ascending diagonally towards the indistinct saddle between Krim on the left and secondary peak of Malinovec on the right. Here the marked path turns left and after further moderate ascent brings us to the fence of military area, by which we walk to the road. When we step on the road to the top separates us only a minute of ascent.
