Senično - Planica (Paragliding site Gozd) (gentle path)

Access to starting point:
A) We leave Gorenjska highway at exit Kranj west, and then we follow the signs for Golnik. After Golnik we get to the settlement Senično, and already after the sign, which marks the end of the settlement Golnik, we park by bigger chapel, which is situated on the right side of the road.
B) From the road Naklo - Tržič, in the settlement Retnje, we turn on the road in the direction of Križe and Golnik. In Križe, at the stop sign we turn right towards Golnik, and we drive on the main road almost to the beginning of the settlement Senično. About 100 meters before the settlement on the left side of the road, we notice a bigger chapel, by which we park.

Path description:
Right from the chapel, by the left edge of a meadow, we notice a beaten footpath which quickly leads into a lane of a forest. After the crossing of smaller stream, the path turns right and passes on ample meadows, and we follow the footpath which leads through meadow and after few minutes brings us to an asphalt road which we reach at the beginning or the end of the village Spodnje Vetrno. We continue on the asphalt road which is ascending through the village, at few smaller crossroads we are choosing slightly right direction. Higher, at last houses road turns right and passes into the forest.
At the last house, the asphalt ends, and we continue on the road which is with a traffic sign closed for public traffic. The road soon turns left, and we continue straight on a cart track in the direction of Gozd. Further, we are ascending on a wide cart track which soon joins the cart track from Golnik.
After the crossing, the cart track narrows and from there steep path branches off slightly to the left, which higher few more times crosses a cart track.
We continue on a cart track which is at first moderately to steeply ascending, and soon turns left and makes longer, quite gentle zig zag. When the cart track turns right, it again starts moderately ascending, and we for the last time cross steep path. Next follows a longer diagonal ascent towards the right, when the cart track flattens, we continue slightly left on a little narrower cart track which is still ascending in the same direction. Few minutes ahead cart track joins the marked path from Golnik, and the cart track gradually changes into a mountain path. A little further from the marked path unmarked path branches off to the left, which leads towards Planica or airfield Gozd.
We continue on the mentioned path (straight continues a marked path towards the cottage Zavetišče v Gozdu and Kriška gora), which at first ascends through a lane of bushes, and then passes into the forest, through which it is ascending all the way to the cottage JPK Kriška gora, which is situated on the summit of Planica or airfield Gozd.
