Route description:
From the starting point, we start ascending and after about ten steps we join a somewhat wider road, which we follow to the right. Further on, we ascend the asphalt road, which higher up has some marked shortcuts, and when the hairpin turns end, we continue the ascent on the road. Higher up, the road leads us past a few hamlets and two path turn-offs to the left towards Murovica, but we continue straight ahead on the asphalt road all the time. After both turn-offs, we arrive at the centre of the settlement Zagorica pri Dolskem, where the path leads past the birthplace of Baron Jurij Vega, who was born in 1754.
When Zagorica ends, we quickly reach the church in Križevska vas, where we continue left onto the path that runs alongside the children's playground (sharply left path past the Buven farm).
At the playground, we notice the sign for St. Nicholas, which directs us to the path that bypasses the playground on the left and the nearby house on the right, after which we step onto a cart track that we follow to the right. Initially, a nice view of Križevska vas and the surrounding hills opens up from the cart track, then the path enters the forest, through which it ascends steadily along the cart track that makes a few hairpin turns. Higher up, we reach the ridge of Cicelj, but we continue right (left to Buven farm and Murovica) along the cart track, which a little higher turns into a gradually steeper footpath. When the path flattens again higher up, a hunting path from Velika vas joins from the right. Here too we continue straight and after a minute of further walking we arrive at the forested Cicelj.
Kamnica - Križevska vas 1:00, Križevska vas - Cicelj 40 minutes.
