Dražgoše (Jelenšče) - Dražgoška gora

Access to starting point:
A) We drive to Železniki, and then we continue driving towards Dražgoše. Through Dražgoše we follow the main road to the part of the village named Na Pečeh, where we continue slightly left onto a side road in the direction of Bičkova skala, Dražgoška gora and hamlet Jelenšče. Above the hamlet Jelenšče we continue on the forest road, but only to the first crossroad, where we park at an appropriate place by the hiking signposts.
B) We drive to Kranj, and then we follow the signs for Besnica (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 at Nemilje, after the mentioned settlement the road starts to ascend more steeply. When we arrive at Podblica, we follow the main road; above Podblica we reach the main road Kropa - Dražgoše, which we follow to the left (if the turn is too sharp, there is a turning area arranged a few dozen meters to the right). Further on, we drive past the church of St. Jedert, and then we already arrive at Dražgoše, where we first reach a crossroad where to the left branches the road towards Sv. Križ. Here we continue on the main road, and then we arrive at the center of Dražgoše, where in the area named Na Pečeh we sharply turn right onto a side road in the direction of Bičkova skala, Dražgoška gora and hamlet Jelenšče (the signs are from the opposite direction, so we can easily miss them). Above the hamlet Jelenšče we continue on the forest road, but only to the first crossroad, where we park at an appropriate place by the hiking signposts.
C) We drive to Kropa, and then we continue driving towards Dražgoše and Železniki. When we arrive at Dražgoše, in the center of Dražgoše, in the area named Na Pečeh, we sharply turn right onto a side road in the direction of Bičkova skala, Dražgoška gora and hamlet Jelenšče (the signs are from the opposite direction, so we can easily miss them).

Path description:
From the starting point, we continue left in the direction of the mountain pasture Kališnik, mountain pasture Vodiška planina and Dražgoška gora (right Bičkova skala), where the path leads us on a cart track which ascends diagonally to the left. The path mostly runs through the forest, but occasionally we get some views of Ratitovec, Blegoš and the valleys, where we can clearly see the Rudno ski slope. When the slope flattens somewhat, we arrive at a junction, where from the left another path marked with Knafelc blazes joins us and which starts in Dražgoše in the area Na Pečeh, while to the right the marked path towards Vodiška planina continues.
We continue straight ahead, then, a little further where the cart track turns right, we again continue straight ahead, this time on a footpath, along which we quickly arrive at the viewpoint Dražgoška gora, where there is also a summit log box.
