Planina Jezerca - Dom na Krvavcu

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 continue left in the direction of Cerklje na Gorenjskem and Brnik. When we get to the main roundabout in Spodnji Brnik we continue driving in the direction of Cerklje and Krvavec ski area. 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 on a road in the direction of the Krvavec ski area. Further, we get to the village Grad, where signs for settlement Ambrož pod Krvavcem point us to the right on a steep asphalt road (straight bottom station of the cable car to Krvavec and Štefanja Gora). When the steepness on the steep road decreases a little, we will get to a crossroad, where we continue left in the direction of the settlement Ambrož pod Krvavcem (straight settlements Ravne, Apno and Šenturška Gora). A little further, the road temporarily descends a little and then ascends through occasionally quite panoramic slopes. Higher, we get to Ambrož pod Krvavcem, where on the left side we bypass the church of St. Ambrož and tourist farm Pr Ambružarju. From the tourist farm onwards the road passes into the forest and ascends through it all the way to the mountain pasture Jezerca, where there is a large arranged parking lot.
B) From the Jesenice - Ljubljana highway take the Kranj - east exit, then continue driving towards Brnik, Komenda and Mengeš. When we get to the main roundabout in Spodnji Brnik we continue driving in the direction of Cerklje and Krvavec ski area. 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 on a road in the direction of the Krvavec ski area. Further, we get to the village Grad, where signs for settlement Ambrož pod Krvavcem point us to the right on a steep asphalt road (straight bottom station of the cable car to Krvavec and Štefanja Gora). When the steepness on the steep road decreases a little, we will get to a crossroad, where we continue left in the direction of the settlement Ambrož pod Krvavcem (straight settlements Ravne, Apno and Šenturška Gora). A little further, the road temporarily descends a little and then ascends through occasionally quite panoramic slopes. Higher, we get to Ambrož pod Krvavcem, where on the left side we bypass the church of St. Ambrož and tourist farm Pr Ambružarju. From the tourist farm onwards the road passes into the forest and ascends through it all the way to the mountain pasture Jezerca, where there is a large arranged parking lot.

Route description:
At the end of the parking lot, where the road turns to the left, to the right branches off the road towards the nearby mountain pasture Jezerca, we will notice red hiking signposts that point us straight on a marked footpath in the direction of Kriška planina, Vrh Korena, Košutna, Kompotela and Mokrica, which ascends through pastures of the already mentioned mountain pasture. After a short ascent we reach a cart track, which we follow to the left, crossing the slopes of Kržišče (1658 m). The cart track on which we walk quickly splits into two parts, we continue straight on the lower one. Temporarily a nice view opens towards Kranj, Škofjeloško hribovje and Storžič, then the path begins to descend lightly. There follow a few minutes of walking, then we arrive at the parking lot at the lower part of Kriška planina.
Here slightly to the right the marked path continues towards Planina Koren, we continue straight across the other side of the valley, where we begin ascending the grassy slope towards the nearby hamlet. After a short ascent we get to the mountain dairy Pr Florjan, which we bypass on the right side. Above the mountain dairy we gradually step on a well-trodden but poorly marked footpath, which begins to ascend more steeply on the grassy slope. Higher we reach a poorer, partly grassy cart track, on which we ascend to the spot where it turns right. From the mentioned turn we continue straight on a slightly less distinct path, on which in a few minutes we ascend to Dom na Krvavcu.
During operation of the ski area it is forbidden to walk on the part of the path where it runs across the ski run.
