Access to starting point:
At first, we drive to Škofja Loka, and then we continue driving towards Železniki. A little before the settlement Praprotno, more precisely just before the main road crosses the river Selška Sora, we turn right on a local road, by which after 50 meters we park.
To the starting point, we can also come from the direction of Železniki, namely if after the settlement Praprotno we turn left on a local road, by which we then park.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue on the asphalt road, and we walk there only few 10 meters, and when the cliffs on the right side end, we go right on a grassy cart track. On the mentioned cart track we are ascending by the edge of a meadow, and in doing so, we carefully watch to the right, because we will soon on the right side notice a footpath which leaves the cart track and goes steeply uphill (turn-off isn't specifically marked and we can quickly miss it).
We continue the ascent through a dense forest, through which we are steeply ascending. Higher, we cross the cart track, and the path is for some time still steeply ascending. After few additional minutes of ascent, the forest starts to get thinner, and the path is becoming less and less steep. Through a meadow we ascend to the cart track, higher we few times cross it, and then we ascend there to an unmarked crossing near the residential houses.
Here we continue right (left leads a worse road to the near already mentioned residential houses) and we continue on a worse road which crosses slopes towards the right. The cart track or road then turns to the left and past the hayrack brings us in the village Križna Gora, where we continue left on the asphalt road (right - church of the Holy Cross and hunting cottage).
We continue on the road which soon flattens and it brings us to NOB monument, where it also passes into the forest. Next follows a short descent and the road brings us to a smaller bus parking lot, where it loses an asphalt covering.
We descend a little more and then from the road a wide at first macadam cart track branches off to the right, on which we continue the ascent. After a short ascent, blazes point us to the left on a wide footpath which crosses slopes towards the left. A little further, we step out of the forest and with nice views, we walk to a small saddle, where we also leave the marked path. The marked path continues right, and we continue straight on the path which starts ascending through the forest. The path soon widens, crosses a lane of bushes and higher brings us to an asphalt road, on which we ascend to the near house. From the house, we continue on the wide path, on which in few steps we get to the church of the Archangel Gabriel on Planica.
