Access to starting point:
A) First, we drive on Ig, and from there we continue driving towards Kurešček. Further, we drive on an ascending road which at the turn-off for Kurešček flattens, and then it starts descending towards the village Rob. From the village Rob we continue in the direction of Selo, Rupe, Vrh and other settlements of plateau Rutarska planota, and on a winding road we drive to some sort of triangular crossroad, where we continue right towards the hamlet Predgozd (if we continue slightly left we will quickly come to settlements of plateau Rutarska planota). Further, we drive past few more houses, and then we turn left towards forestry cottage, where on a parking lot in its vicinity we also park.
B) From Ljubljana, we drive towards Kočevje, after that at settlement Rašica we turn right (from the direction Kočevje left) in the direction of village Rob. From the village Rob we continue in the direction of Selo, Rupe, Vrh and other settlements of plateau Rutarska planota, and on a winding road we drive to some sort of triangular crossroad, where we continue right towards the hamlet Predgozd (if we continue slightly left we will quickly come to settlements of plateau Rutarska planota). Further, we drive past few more houses, and then we turn left towards forestry cottage, where on a parking lot in its vicinity we also park.
C) We drive into Nova vas, from there we continue driving towards Velike Lašče. After approximately 6.5 km from the center of Nova vas we leave the main road towards Velike Lašče and we continue left towards the settlement Lužarji, Naredi, Boštetje, Mohorje, Rupe and Selo pri Robu. Above the village Selo we get to some sort of triangular crossroad, where we continue left towards the hamlet Predgozd. Further, we drive past few more houses, and then we turn left towards forestry cottage, where on a parking lot in its vicinity we also park.
Path description:
From the forestry cottage, by which there are few information boards, on European footpath E6 we ascend to a nearby road (we ascend to the road which we left when we turned left towards forestry cottage). When we get to the road we continue straight, and it leads past another residential house. Immediately after the house from the road, European footpath E6 branches off to the right, and we continue on the macadam road in the direction of Krvava peč. The road which runs through the forest at first continues without large changes in altitude, and then it starts considerably descending. Meanwhile, when the road is descending we will on the left side, a little from the path notice a cross, and we continue on the road which flattens and then it leads us through few meadows. Even a little further, we get to a marked crossroad, where we continue left in the direction of Bukovec, church of St. Lenart, Krvava pečina and cave Kevdrc (straight downwards village Krvava peč).
Further, we are gently ascending to the next crossroad, where we continue right (left Bukovec). The path ahead still leads on the macadam road which is ascending on an indistinct ridge high above the valley of river Iška, whose roaring we can hear all the way to our path. Relatively gentle road leads us past few more holiday cottages, and then we get to the church of St. Lenart.
