Access to starting point:
From the highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we go to the exit Kranj - west and follow the road ahead in the direction of Golnik. Only a little after the village Golnik (more precisely after the village Senično) a steep road branches off to the right upwards, which leads towards Zgornje Veterno and Gozd. Soon after the village Zgornje Veterno, we come to a marked parking lot, which is situated on the left side of the road (starting point for steep path), and we continue driving on an ascending road which soon brings us to the shelter Zavetišče v Gozdu. We can park on one of the two large parking lots by the mentioned shelter, or we drive a good 100 meters ahead to the parking lot at the church.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we first walk to the nearby church, then we come to the marked junction, where the path from Golnik joins us from the right. We continue left uphill on an increasingly poor road, which in a few minutes brings us to a junction. Here we head onto the left path (right Tolsti vrh), which goes past the water intake further along the cart track. Only a few meters further the cart track brings us to the next junction. We continue straight on the cart track in the direction of Kriška gora (forest path), right the usual marked path. Here at the junction an information board informs us that we will continue the path on the one exposed to snow avalanches in winter time. The cart track, ascending through the forest, brings us after 20 minutes from the junction onto grassy slopes. A shorter ascent follows to the place where the path brings us to the panoramic side ridge of Kriška gora. Here we encounter an orientation loop. We continue on the right path, which ascends along an indistinct side ridge on the southern slope of Kriška gora. A little higher the path brings us to the place where in a slight ascent we cross grassy slopes behind which the path brings us into a short stretch of forest. Only a little further we come to a clearing, above which we notice the route of the cargo cableway. The path ahead ascends under the cableway up to the hut on Kriška gora.
PS: In the case that any object falls from the cableway and injures us, the owner of the cableway is not responsible for our accident, as the information board informs us that we walk at our own risk!
