Access to the starting point:
If you are coming from AC Ljubljana-Jesenice, take the Vodice exit, then follow the signs for Cerklje and Krvavec. Continue straight through Cerklje, passing the Pod Jenkovo lipo pizzeria on the left through the village of Grad. Go straight ahead until the road splits towards the lower cable car station (left) and Ambrož pod Krvavcem (right). Park here in a suitable place. As this is a busy road leading past the village towards Krvavec and the lower cable car station, there are no parking facilities. You can leave your car on the right hand side before the road starts to climb towards Krvavec, or in a suitable place leading to the lower cable car station.
Path description:
The route starts behind the house, at the crossroads of two busy roads. From the road, you can already see the first station of the Stations of the Cross. This is where the pilgrimage route leads during Lent. The path immediately begins to climb, and a chapel awaits us at the bend. We follow the well-trodden path straight ahead, accompanied by signs and pictures of the Stations of the Cross. On the left, we can see back to the villages of Grad and Dvorje. The path climbs for a while, but after 20 minutes it gradually becomes more and more sloping. We reach a wider crossroads (the so-called "Skok"), from where we continue straight on again, now following the tractor logging trail. The forest is slowly running out, and a view of the village opens up, with meadows to the left, Štefanja gora in the distance and, in fine weather, Triglav, with the forest and Krvavec above the village. Continue straight towards the bus station, the road becomes asphalted, and then continue left towards the village. In the centre of the village, turn right towards the church, which leads to a water trough where you can freshen up, and turn left towards the Church of St. Križ. At the church, a view of Štefanja gora opens up, with Triglav greeting you in the background.
