Access to the starting point:
a) From the motorway Ljubljana - Jesenice take the exit Naklo, Podtabor or Brezje, then continue in the direction of Kropa. At the junction where the road continues straight on towards Kropa, turn right and continue a little further to Kamna Gorica, where at the end of the settlement you can park on the left hand side in the parking lot near the cemetery and ski resort.
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 and Kamna Gorica. When you arrive in Kamna Gorica, park in the parking lot near the cemetery and ski resort.
Path description:
From the parking lot, continue along the main road towards Radovljica, and at the road sign marking the end or beginning of Kamna Gorica, turn slightly left, to cart track, where you will be directed by the signpost for Vodice na kozolcu. The trail initially leads us along the foot of the Kamna Gorica ski slope, from where we get some views of the Julian Alps two-thousanders, where we can see Škrlatica most beautifully, and then cart track turns into a forest and starts to climb steeply. Cart track quickly lays down and leads to a belt of sparse forest where we continue straight ahead. Through a clearing of some kind you pass a spring, and when the path returns to the forest it slowly turns to the left, where you arrive at a marked crossroads.
Continue along the left-hand cart track in the direction of Vodice, and a little higher up a beautiful view opens up in the direction of Storžič and the Karavanke Mountains. When we return to the forest, at the crossroads we continue straight ahead or along the cart track, which looks wider. Higher up, you reach a small valley, where you keep to the right forks and the wider cart track narrows and more frequent markings appear along the way. From the old cart track go left onto the abandoned logging trail, climbing quite steeply, and at the forks follow the markings, which are quite frequent here. When you reach the area called Lazi, you will see older cairns on the right, and the path turns slightly to the left here. Higher up, the train changes to a wider path that climbs in curves. This path leads us higher up to a crossroads, from which we continue slightly left (slightly right Suharna and Razpok).
There is a small cross-country climb and we reach the next marked crossroads from which we continue towards Vodice (right Suharna, Razpok and Goška ravan).
The trail then gradually passes onto the Jelovica plateau, and when you reach a macadam road a little higher up, follow it to the left. The trail continues along the dirt road leading west from Mali Gregorjevac (1134 m), and at a small crossroads, follow the wider road to the left. A few minutes further on, leave the road and continue slightly to the right, on a well-trodden path which initially runs parallel to the road, then gradually moves away from it. A fairly winding path with a few short easy ups and downs, it later approaches another road, which is separated by a shorter, slightly steeper climb. When you reach this road, follow it to the left and walk along it for a few minutes to the Partisan Home on Vodiška mountain pasture.
