Kropa - Partisan cottage on Vodiška planina (via Berigla)

Access to starting point:
A) From Ljubljana, we drive on the Gorenjska highway towards Jesenice, and we follow it to the exit Ljubelj (Podnart). Further, we drive on the quick road towards Ljubelj, and at the first junction we turn right, where we then quickly arrive at a roundabout, from which we continue in the direction of Podnart and Kropa. The road then leads us through the underpass below the highway and a little further brings us to a crossroad, where the road from Naklo joins. Here we continue right, and we continue on the road which starts gradually descending. In the middle of the descent, we come to a crossroad, where we continue sharply left (direction Kropa) and then immediately behind the bridge over the river Sava again left (right Podnart). Further, we drive along the stream Lipnica and we follow the road to a crossroad, where a road towards Kamni Gorica branches off to the right. Here we continue left towards Kropa and we follow the road through the mentioned settlement. Only a few meters before the house with house number 7, we will notice on the left side a sports field and below it a parking lot, where we park.
B) From the Gorenjska direction we leave the highway towards Ljubljana at the exit Brezje and then we follow the signs towards Kropa. We park on the parking lot by the sports field in Kropa.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we walk to the house with house number 7, and here we continue left on the initially still asphalt road. The road quickly becomes macadam, and we ascend on it to the church of Kroparska Mater Božja.
From the church, we continue on the cart track, which ascends diagonally towards the left over a relatively steep slope. Higher, we step onto the forested ridge, where we continue sharply right in the direction of Jamnik (left Brezovica, straight Češnjica). We continue the path further on the cart track, which then ascends on a relatively gentle ridge.
We continue towards Jamnik, and the path leads us along the forested ridge; after a short ascent, we reach the indistinct peak of Berigla. Higher, the path from the ridge gradually passes onto the slope and splits.
To the left, the path branches off towards Jamnik, and we go a few steps further left at the marked junction, from which we continue on the steep path in the direction of Vodiška planina. A few minutes of steep ascent follow, then we cross an asphalt road.
On the other side of the road, we continue on the marked cart track, from which we soon go right onto the footpath, which after a few minutes returns to the cart track. Some ascent on the cart track follows, where we make some hairpin turns, then the cart track narrows into a mountain path. During the further ascent, some views towards Jamnik open up briefly, and after a smaller symbol the trail widens into a cart track, which brings us to a junction, where the path from Jamnik joins from the left.
We follow the signs for Vodice, and quickly arrive at a junction, where the path to Tehnika Meta branches off to the left, and we continue right towards Vodice.
Further on, we walk on a gentle path which leads us through the plateau-like terrain of forested Jelovica.
From the old cart track path, the signs for Vodice eventually direct us right onto a nicely traceable footpath, which gradually ascends to the ridge of Zidana skala. For some time we walk along the ridge, then arrive at the vantage point Zidana skala, from which a nice view opens onto the Karavanke and Kamniško Savinjske Alpe.
From the vantage point, the path returns to the forest, and it then ascends along the edge of very steep slopes that are especially dangerous for slipping when wet. The path ahead ascends for a few more minutes, then turns slightly right and starts descending relatively steeply. During the descent, we still walk along the edge of steep slopes that are dangerous for slipping; this is also indicated by the memorial to the deceased hiker. The path then gradually flattens and brings us to the NOB memorial, where we join a wider cart track path.
Here we continue right and continue the path on the cart track, which after a few minutes starts descending steeply towards Vodiška planina. After a short descent, the path flattens and brings us to the mentioned mountain pasture, in the middle of which stands the Partizanski dom.
