Podblica - Sveta Jedert (Lajše)

Access to starting point:
A) We drive to Kranj, and then we follow the signs for Besnica (the turn-off from the old road Ljubljana - Kranj is before the bridge over the river Sava, or after the bridge if coming from the direction of Kranj). Further on, we drive through Spodnja and Zgornja Besnica and Njivica. A little further ahead, we arrive in Nemilje; after the mentioned settlement, the road starts to ascend more steeply. When we arrive in Podblica, we follow the main road, but when we notice the recycling spot on the right, where the described path starts. We do not park at the recycling spot, because we thereby block access for the locals to the garbage containers. We park at an appropriate place by the road lower or higher.
B) From Železniki we drive to Dražgoše, and then continue driving towards Kropa. Next follows diagonal driving on the slopes of Jelovica, and then we arrive at a crossroads, where the road towards Kranj branches off sharply to the right (the turn-off for Kranj is only from the opposite direction). Here we continue sharply right (if the turn is too sharp, there is an arranged turning area about 50 meters ahead), and then we descend into Podblica, where before the center of the settlement on the left we notice the recycling spot, where the described path starts. We do not park at the recycling spot, because we thereby block access for the locals to the garbage containers. We park at an appropriate place by the road lower or higher.
C) We drive to Kropa, and then continue driving towards Dražgoše and Železniki. After the settlement Jamnik we leave the road towards Dražgoše and continue driving left towards Kranj. Next follows a descent to the settlement Podblica, where at the recycling spot the described path starts. We do not park at the recycling spot, because we thereby block access for the locals to the garbage containers. We park at an appropriate place by the road lower or higher.

Route description:
A few steps above the recycling spot there is a marked crossroads, from where we continue left in the direction towards sv. Mohor (right footpath to Jamnik and peka piškotov Metka). The path ahead leads us along a cart track, which ascends transversely across extensive hay meadows, and then behind a smaller sign passes into the forest. Through the forest we continue mainly ascending transversely, and then at the chapel we reach a marked junction, from where we continue right towards Lajše (left sv. Mohor, straight Selca).
The path ahead still leads us along a cart track, which ascends gently to moderately. A little higher we temporarily step out of the forest onto a panoramic hay meadow, and then behind a smaller cottage, which we notice on the right side, the path returns to the forest. There follows a few minutes of ascent through the forest, and then we reach another hay meadow, where the path leads us along its left edge. A little higher the path turns left and brings us past the abandoned farm Lobnikar to an asphalt road, which we follow to the left, along which we soon reach the church of sv. Jedert.
Description and pictures refer to the condition in the year 2017 (November).
