Access to starting point:
From the highway Ljubljana - Jesenice, we take the exit Kranj - west and follow the road ahead in the direction of Golnik. When we arrive at Golnik, at the top of the hill, we turn right in the direction of Golnik Hospital. We park on one of the large parking lots, which is situated a little below the hospital.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we walk to the hospital, which we bypass on the left side, then we come to mountain signposts, which direct us to a footpath that ascends along the fence. After a few steps, we cross the road, then the footpath, which ascends above the village, leads us into the forest, where it starts to ascend more steeply. The path after a short ascent joins a wide cart track, on which we continue an easy ascent. After a few minutes, a marked footpath branches off to the right from the cart track, which soon brings us to another cart track, which we also soon leave. We continue the ascent on a rather steep path, which higher brings us to the vantage point (view of Gorenjska and Jelovica).
After the vantage point, the path flattens and turns quite to the left, where it then continues in a moderate ascent. Higher, the footpath turns a little towards the right, where it then brings us to the village Gozd in a few minutes of further walking. Here we continue past a few houses, then we join the path from Zavetišče v Gozdu.
We continue right in the direction of Kriška gora and follow the road, which leads us past two successive NOB monuments, to its end. From the end of the road, we continue slightly left and continue the ascent on a wide and steep cart track, which quickly brings us to the place where it splits into two parts. We continue on the left in the direction of Koča na Kriški gori (right Tolsti vrh). The cart track then passes the water supply structure and a holiday cottage and enters the forest, where it continues in a moderate ascent.
A little further on, the signs for Kriška gora direct us to the right (straight ahead unmarked path to Kriška gora) onto a somewhat more rugged cart track, which higher turns into a relatively steep footpath. Further, we ascend on a well-maintained path, along which we notice numerous benches and the names of the benches beside them. Higher, the path brings us to a grazing fence and a little higher turns to the left, where it then ascends diagonally. After a few minutes of diagonal ascent, we step out of the forest, where we already see Koča na Kriški gori in front of us, to which only a few dozen steps of easy walking remain.
Golnik - Gozd 1:00, Gozd - Koča na Kriški gori 1:30.
