Begunje (Krpin) - Sankaška koča (by cart track)

Access to the starting point:
From the motorway Ljubljana - Jesenice take the exit Radovljica (from the Gorenjska side take the exit Lesce) and follow the road towards Begunj. In Begunje (just after the crossroads where the road to Žirovnica turns off to the left), turn left in the direction of the Krpin Recreation Centre (straight ahead Draga and Tržič). Park in the large parking lot next to the Krpin Recreation Centre.

Path description:
From the parking lot, continue along the asphalted road, which crosses the Blatnica stream via a small bridge and then turns into a macadam road. Follow the road further and it soon leads to a marked crossroads, where you continue along the left-hand road in the direction of St Peter's (to the right St Peter's is a longer path and the Kališča pass). The road, which is getting worse, then quickly leads to the next crossroads, where you continue to the right to cart track (marked). Cart track then starts to climb steeply and leads us higher out of the forest onto the grassy slopes over which we climb in a few minutes to the church from which we get a nice view.
From the church we continue past the eponymous airstrip along the path, which soon goes into the forest and then continues in a slight ascent all the way to Sankaška hut.
