Jezero - Sveti Tomaž (Planinca) (via homestead Špelin)

Access to starting point:
We drive to Podpeč, where we head towards Ig. We follow this road only briefly to the intersection, where we turn right in the direction of the village Jezero. The road quickly takes us to the next intersection at the fire station (PGD Jezero). Here we turn left onto the large, well-organized public parking area, where parking for hikers is permitted (payment possible via the EasyPark system).
Further driving straight to the parking area directly by Podpeško jezero is not allowed, as the larger organized parking area by the road there is reserved exclusively for guests of the establishment.

Route description:
From the public parking area at the fire station (PGD Jezero) we continue on foot along the road (in the direction of travel). After a few dozen meters, immediately after the fire station, at the intersection we turn right uphill onto the road that leads through the village Jezero, where we are soon joined by the hiking signs for Krim.
We continue along the asphalt road that takes us uphill through the village. After a few minutes of walking, the asphalt ends and the road quickly turns into a cart track that brings us to a fork, where we keep to the right direction (the left path leads past Ledenice). After approximately 15 minutes of easy walking we reach the homestead Špelin, where the signs for Krim direct us left onto an ascending footpath that soon enters the forest. We continue ascending relatively steeply for a short time, then join the cart track from the village Jezero (we would arrive via it if at the smaller intersection after the chapel we continued on the left road). We follow the cart track uphill; it soon brings us to a gravel road, which we merely cross. A short ascent through the forest follows and the path takes us to the meadows of the area called Planinca (also Planinica). Here the path turns left and quickly brings us to an isolated homestead, behind which the path past Ledenice joins from the left. We continue right and in a few further steps reach the church of sv. Tomaža on Planinca.

The trip can be extended to the following destinations: Krim (1 h 30 min)

We recommend: trips from the same starting point, similar trips, summit register
