Route description:
From the starting point, on the road which runs along the Kroparica, we ascend to Slovenska peč (Slovenska peč is the oldest preserved smelting furnace in Slovenia, built in the 14th century), opposite which stands the NOB monument, and behind the furnace, the signs for Vodice direct us right onto a worse road, which quickly turns into a wide path; still before crossing the Kroparica we continue sharply left onto an unmarked footpath, which further ascends transversely to the left, higher up crossing the asphalt road several times. Higher up we stay on the road and follow it to the right hairpin turn. From the mentioned hairpin turn we continue straight onto a cart track, which further crosses the slopes, then ascends transversely and brings us in a few minutes to a marked junction, where we join the marked path that starts in the centre of Kropa.
Here we continue slightly to the right (left down to Kropa, sharply right to Vodiška planina) in the direction of Jamnik and quickly ascend to the hunting cottage, which we bypass on the right side. From the cottage in a few steps we reach an asphalt road, which we follow to the left (right down to Kropa); a few metres behind the road sign marking the start of the settlement Jamnik, we continue slightly left onto a side road in the direction of the footpath to Jamnik (right to Vodiška planina). Behind the nearby homestead the road turns into a cart track, and with occasional fine views reaching to the Karavanke and Kamniško Savinjske Alps, in a few minutes of further walking we reach the ridge of sv. Primož and Felicijan, along which in a few minutes of easy walking we stroll to the church of the same name.
