Access to starting point:
We leave the Štajerska motorway at the Domžale exit, and then we follow the signs for Krumperk Castle. The road then leads us past the ski jumping hills SSK Sam Ihan and continues along the high-voltage power line. There follows some ascent, and then we arrive at a smaller saddle, where we cross the marked path Domžale - Murovica. Here we park at an appropriate place next to the wooden sign. We park before the castle Krumperk and the settlement Gorjuša.
Route description:
Near the sign we notice the blazes, which direct us onto a cart track that starts ascending towards the south. A moderately steep path mainly leads us through the forest, and higher up a few unmarked paths from nearby starting points join us. We follow this path, where at the junctions we follow the otherwise rare blazes, all the way to Veliki vrh, where there is a registration box with a logbook.
From Veliki vrh we continue straight ahead on the path, which starts moderately descending, and at the junctions we follow the otherwise rare blazes. Somewhat lower we emerge from the forest and easily ascend across a meadow to a macadam road, where there is a marked junction.
The path towards Sv. Trojica continues along the marked path, while we ascend to the church of St. Kunigunda along the macadam road in one or two minutes of further walking.
From the church we return to the last junction, then continue in the direction of Oklo and Sv. Trojica. When a few minutes further we leave the forest, we cross the route of high-voltage power lines, after which we arrive at the Equestrian Centre Brdo pri Ihanu, where we step onto an asphalt road. Along the asphalt road we first descend slightly to a crossroads, next to which there is a chapel, then we ascend along the road that continues to the left of the chapel (we can also reach the church of St. Miklavž if at the chapel we continue along the road that continues on the right side of the chapel).
The path ahead leads us along the asphalt road towards the settlement Dobovlje, but we leave it a few minutes further at the left bend and continue right onto a cart track. Initially the path still leads fairly close to the asphalt road, then turns slightly to the right, and higher brings us to a smaller junction, where we continue along the slightly right cart track (slightly left we can reach Dobovlje or Oklo). We then follow the cart track, which in a gentle ascent crosses the slopes to the right, all the way to the church of St. Miklavž on Goropeče.
Behind the church we go left, initially slightly uphill, then follow the cart track that crosses the slopes to the right and somewhat further joins an asphalt road, which we reach between the chapel on the left and the farm on the right. We follow the road to the left, walking along it for a few minutes, or until the miniature hayrack, where yellow-white blazes direct us left onto a cart track. Along the cart track we ascend diagonally for a few minutes, then the blazes direct us right onto a somewhat narrower footpath. The footpath quickly widens, and then a fairly gentle path quickly brings us to the NOB monument on Oklo.
Starting point - Veliki vrh 20 minutes, Veliki vrh - Tabor 15 minutes, Tabor - Sv. Miklavž 40 minutes, Sv. Miklavž - Oklo 25 minutes.
