Path description:
From the center of Zalog we continue straight in the direction towards Gozd and Kriška gora (right Velika Poljana, Mala Poljana and Storžič) and on an asphalt road, we continue to a hamlet Svarje, where the road turns left. The road after few houses becomes a macadam, and we leave it before it starts descending.
We continue right, where behind the house path passes into the forest, and in the forest also blazes show up, which until now, the exception hiking signposts, weren't there. Through the forest, we are at first ascending diagonally towards the left, and when we reach the cart track, we continue right. Cart track quickly splits, we choose the left, and at the crossings we follow the blazes. Higher, the cart track ends and we continue the ascent on at first still steep mountain path, which gradually flattens. A gently sloping path brings us out of the forest, on an ample pastures, on which in few minutes we walk to the village Gozd, where we go right in the direction of Kriška gora (left Zavetišče v Gozdu and Golnik).
The path ahead short time still leads on the road, and it quickly changes into a cart track which ascends steeper. After a short ascent, the cart track splits into two parts, and we continue on the left in the direction of the mountain hut Koča na Kriški gori (right Tolsti vrh). Cart track then past the water supply structure and holiday cottage passes into the forest, where we continue in a moderate ascent.
Only a little further signs for Kriška gora point us to the right (straight unmarked path on Kriška gora) on a little more rough cart track which higher changes into relatively steep footpath. Further, we are ascending on a well-settled path, by which we notice numerous benches and by them names of benches. Higher, the path brings us to a grazing fence and only a little higher it turns to the left, where it is then ascending diagonally. After few minutes of a diagonal ascent, we step out of the forest, where in front of us we already notice a mountain hut Koča na Kriški gori, to which we have only few 10 strides of easy walking.
