Brezovica - Partisan cottage on Vodiška planina

Access to the starting point:
a) Leave the Ljubljana - Jesenice motorway at the Naklo exit, or alternatively at the Podtabor fork, then follow the signs for Podbrezje, Podnart and Kropa. After crossing the railway line at Podnart, turn left and head towards Kropa. When you see the Iskra Mehanizmi d. o. o. factory on the left, you are already close to the starting point. After the company, the road to the village of Brezovica branches off to the left, and we park a little further on in the parking lot on the right side of the road.

b) From the motorway Jesenice - Ljubljana, take the exit Lesce or Radovljica, then continue in the direction of Radovljica and later the villages Lancovo, Lipnica, Kamna Gorica and Kropa, which we do not take. Continue towards Podnart, then park just a little further from the junction in the parking lot on the left hand side of the road, opposite the Iskra Mehanizmi company.

c) Take Železniki and then continue towards Kropa. After Kropa, opposite Iskra Mehanizmi, park in the parking lot on the left-hand side of the road.

Path description:
From where you parked, walk to the crossroads where the road for Kropa and Kamna Gorica splits. At the crossroads, at the 0. 0 km marker, you will see a path climbing through the forest. Follow the track quickly up to cart track, which is followed to the left, and from there, before leaving the forest and entering a larger meadow, continue slightly right on a well-worn track, which initially climbs cross-cuttingly, but when it reaches a small ridge, turns right. Continue climbing moderately through the forest for some time, and higher up, the path leading from the centre of the village of Brezovica joins from the left.

Continue along the ascending path, which passes Kugla (the summit with the converters) on the left, and then descends gently to a marked crossroads, where the unmarked path from Češnjica pri Kropi joins from the left, and the marked path from Kropa joins from the right.

Continue towards Jamnik, following the path along a wooded ridge, and after a short climb reach the undistinguished summit of Berigle. Higher up, the path gradually moves from the ridge to the slope and splits.
To the left, the path to Jamnik branches off, and we go left a few steps further at a marked crossroads, from which we continue along the steep path towards Vodiška mountain pasture. There is a steep climb for a few minutes and then we cross an asphalt road.
On the other side of the road, continue along the marked cart track, soon turning right onto a footpath, which after a few minutes returns to cart track. There is some climbing on cart track, where there are some serpentines, and then cart track narrows into a mountain path. During the further ascent, we have some views towards Jamnik, but after a small sign the path widens into cart track, which leads us to a crossroads where the path from Jamnik joins us from the left.
Follow the signs for Vodice, and you will quickly reach a crossroads where the path to the Meta technique branches off to the left, and we continue to the right towards Vodice.
We continue along a sloping path that leads us through the plateau-like world of the forested Jelovice.
After a while, the signs for Vodice direct us from the old dirt track to the right onto a well-traced footpath that gradually climbs to the ridge of Zidane skala. Walk along the ridge for a while and then arrive at the Zidana skala lookout point, which offers a beautiful view of Karawanks and the Kamniško Savinjske Alps.
From the viewpoint, the path returns to the forest, which continues to climb along the edge of very steep and, especially in the wet, dangerous slopes. The path continues to climb for a few minutes, then turns slightly to the right and begins to descend relatively steeply. During the descent, we are still walking along the edge of the steep slopes, which are dangerous for slipping, as the memorial of the unfortunate hiker reminds us. The path then gradually flattens out and leads to the NOB memorial, where it joins a wider dirt track.
Here, turn right and continue along cart track, which after a few minutes begins to descend steeply towards Vodiška mountain pasture. After a short descent, the path is laid and leads to the above-mentioned mountain pasture, in the middle of which stands the Partisan Home.
