Rakitna - Krim

Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Koper we go to the exit Brezovica, and then we continue driving in the direction of 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 an ascending road to the parking lot at the church on Rakitna (road in the last part again descends a little).

Path description:
By the parking lot we notice mountain signposts for Krim and Iški Vintgar, which point us on an ascending road. After a short ascent, we come to the unmarked crossroad, where the road branches off to the left towards the nearby bar, and we continue right, where few meters ahead we notice the blazes. After few 10 meters of additional walking, we come on next crossroad, where we continue on the left ascending road (right health resort on Rakitna and we follow it for a short time to a marked crossing. Here we leave the road and we continue slightly right on a marked cart track in the direction of Krim (sharply right Iški Vintgar). The path ahead ascends among meadows and in the upper part of those brings us to a crossing, where we continue on the right marked cart track. We continue on a cart track which is diagonally ascending towards the right, and during the ascent, we notice numerous information boards of Forest teaching trail. Higher, the path few times a little steeper ascends, and then it flattens and brings us on the saddle between Županov vrh and Rotovc.
Here we continue slightly left in the direction of Krim (straight Rotovc 5 minutes) on the path which starts at first gently, and then moderately descending towards the nearby macadam road. When after a short descent, we reach the mentioned road, we follow it to the right. We continue on a slightly ascending road which higher brings us to NOB monument, after which it starts descending. After a short descent, we come at the marked crossroad, where we continue left in the direction of Krim. After that we for some time continue on the road, and then we get to a marked crossing, where from the left joins the marked path from the hunting cottage Plehanov laz.
Here we leave the road and we continue the ascent sharply right in the direction of the footpath on Krim. The path ahead steeply ascends on a wide cart track, and then flattens a little and is gradually turning more and more towards the left. The path which meanwhile from the cart track already changed into wide mountain path, quickly brings us to the fence of the nearby military area. We ascend by the fence, which leads us to the near road. When we step on the road, we follow it to the left and after a minute of additional walking, we get to the top of Krim.
