Dom na Gospincu - Krvavec

Access to starting point:
A) From the Ljubljana - Jesenice highway take the Vodice exit, then continue driving to the first traffic-light intersection in Vodice, where we turn left in the direction of Cerklje na Gorenjskem and Brnik. When we arrive at the main roundabout in Spodnji Brnik we continue driving in the direction of Cerklje and Krvavec ski resort. At the end of the settlement Cerklje na Gorenjskem we leave the main road which continues towards Velesovo and Visoko and we continue driving slightly right onto the road in the direction of the Krvavec ski resort. We park on a large arranged parking lot by the lower station of the circular-cabin cable car on Krvavec, where we buy a ticket and take the mentioned cable car to the upper station, which is located by the mountain hut Dom na Gospincu.
B) From the Jesenice - Ljubljana highway take the Kranj - east exit, then continue driving towards Brnik, Komenda and Mengeš. When we arrive at the main roundabout in Spodnji Brnik we continue driving in the direction of Cerklje and Krvavec ski resort. At the end of the settlement Cerklje na Gorenjskem we leave the main road which continues towards Velesovo and Visoko and we continue driving slightly right onto the road in the direction of the Krvavec ski resort.

At the end of the settlement Cerklje na Gorenjskem we leave the main road which continues towards Velesovo and Visoko and we continue driving slightly right onto the road in the direction of the Krvavec ski resort. Further on we arrive at the village of Grad, where signs for the settlement Ambrož pod Krvavcem direct us right onto a steep asphalt road (straight ahead lower station of the circular-cabin cable car on Krvavec and Štefanja Gora). When the gradient on the steep road eases somewhat, we arrive at an intersection, where we continue left in the direction of the settlement Ambrož pod Krvavcem (straight ahead settlements Ravne, Apno and Šenturška Gora). A little further the road temporarily descends slightly, then climbs through occasionally quite scenic slopes. Higher up we arrive at Ambrož pod Krvavcem, where we pass the church of St. Ambrož and tourist farm Pr Ambružarju on the left side. From the tourist farm the road enters the forest and climbs through it all the way to the alpine pasture Jezerca, where there is a large arranged parking lot. Here the road levels out and turns left, some 500 m further it brings us to an intersection, where we continue slightly left (right Kriška planina). We then drive on the macadam road for some time i.e. to the upper station of the circular-cabin cable car.
The road from the alpine pasture Jezerca to Dom na Gospincu is now closed to public traffic, which extends our route by approximately 30 minutes.

Route description:
At the upper station of the circular-cabin cable car on Krvavec we will notice numerous mountain signposts. We head in the direction of the mountain hut Dom na Krvavcu and Marija Snežna on a poorly visible path that climbs almost straight up the grassy slope. The poorly visible path leads higher across a pasture fence, behind which it becomes somewhat more followable. The relatively steep path then takes us to the mountain hut Dom na Krvavcu, which we can already see from the upper cable car station (also possible to here along the poorer macadam road).
From the hut we continue in the direction of Zvoh along the road that passes the chapel and transmitters on Krvavec and takes us to the Razor saddle (saddle between the Krvavec peak and Veliki Zvoh), where there is a road junction. We continue along the right road, which after 5 minutes of further walking brings us to the summit of Krvavec.

Along the route: Dom na Krvavcu mountain hut (1684m)

We recommend: trips from the same starting point, similar trips, summit register
