Kropa (Slovenska peč) - Planinski dom Goška ravan (upper part on the road)

Access to starting point:
A) We drive into Kropa, and then we continue driving towards Železniki and Dražgoše. When Kropa ends, we are still driving by the stream Kroparica, and on the right still before the left hairpin turn and Slovenska peč we notice a larger macadam area, where we park.
B) From Besnica (at Kranj) we drive towards Dražgoše, higher above the settlement Podblica we continue in the direction of Kropa. The path ahead leads us past village Jamnik, and then we start steeply descending towards Kropa. After Slovenska peč we will on the left soon notice a larger macadam area, where we park.
C) We drive to Železniki, and then we follow the signs for Dražgoše and Kropa. The path ahead leads us past village Jamnik, and then we start steeply descending towards Kropa. After Slovenska peč we will on the left soon notice a larger macadam area, where we park.

Path description:
From the starting point on the road which runs by Kroparica we ascend to Slovenska peč (Slovenska peč is the oldest preserved furnace in Slovenia, built in 14th century), opposite of which there is NOB monument, and behind the furnace signs for Vodice point us to the right on a worse road which a little further, at the bridge over Kroparica, changes into a marked footpath.
On the other side of the bridge path passes into the forest and it starts steeply ascending. After approximately 25 minutes of a steep ascent we reach the ridge (on a sign Vreteno), where from the right another path from Kropa joins.
We continue in the direction of Vodice, where we go past a smaller cross, and the path there is still quite steep. Higher, the path leads us past a smaller source, and above it for some time a view opens up a little. Next follows a shorter fenced part of the path, and then the path flattens and it brings us on the edge of Jelovica, and few steps ahead also on the bottom part of the mountain pasture Vodiška planina. Next follows a shorter walk on the mountain pasture and we get to the cottage Partizanski dom na Vodiški planini.
We bypass the cottage on the left side, and immediately behind it we go right and we continue walking on the macadam road. The road quickly passes into the forest, through which at first continues without large changes in altitude, and then it starts lightly descending, and at the crossroads, we continue straight, larger crossroads are marked, and there we stick in the direction for Planinski dom Goška Ravan. This road which all the way to Razpok runs through the forest, we follow all the way to cottages on Razpok, where from the periphery of plateau a nice view opens up on Karawanks.
We go slightly left and we continue walking on the macadam road which leads us by the edge of plateau. During a light descent occasionally a nice view opens up on Karawanks, and a little further also on Julian Alps, where we clearly see Triglav. The road further avoids edge of Jelovica a little to the left and it brings us on Ažmanov rovt, where there are some holiday cottages.
We continue on the main macadam road and past the hunting cottage in 10 minutes of additional walking, we get to the mountain pasture Goška Ravan, and a little further also to the mountain hut Goška Ravan, which is situated few steps from the road to the left.
