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 the mentioned path, which after the last crossing of cart track turns a little to the left and it brings us above steep ditch. We short time continue above steep ditch, and then the path goes a little to the right and few times splits. We are choosing that path, which is better beaten, and there in few minutes of additional walking, we get to the cottage Zavetišče v Gozdu.
From Zavetišče v Gozdu we continue on the asphalt road in the direction of Kriška gora, Tolsti vrh, Golnik and Zalog, and from which we go already after few 10 strides right, on a side road in the direction of a vantage point and airfield. At first, we ascend on an asphalt road, from which a beautiful view opens up towards Kriška gora, and the road quickly becomes a macadam and passes into the forest. Follows only a light ascent and the path brings us to Planica or airfield Gozd.
