Path description:
At the parking lot signposts for Kriška gora point us in forest. The path is at first gentle, but soon starts ascending steeper. After approximately one hour of walking, the path brings us out of the forest on steep grassy slopes, where a nice view opens up on Gorenjska. Further, we are ascending on steep grass, which is in wet dangerous for slipping. On this steep part bench pleasantly surprises us, which is placed on nice panoramic terrace. Steepness after that is gradually decreasing and the path brings us into a lane of a forest. Here from the left joins the path from Tržič, and we continue on the right path, which now isn't steep anymore. Few minutes before the mountain hut we step out of the forest and on a panoramic grassy ridge we come to the mountain hut on Kriška gora.
