Planina Jezerca - Krvavec

Access to starting point:
A) From the Ljubljana - Jesenice highway, take the Vodice exit, then continue driving to the first traffic-light intersection in Vodice, where we continue left in the direction of Cerklje na Gorenjskem and Brnik. When we arrive at the main roundabout in Spodnji Brnik, we continue driving in the direction of Cerklje and Krvavec ski center. At the end of the settlement Cerklje na Gorenjskem, we leave the main road, which continues towards Velesovo and Visoko, and continue driving slightly right onto the road in the direction of the Krvavec ski center. Further on, we arrive at the village Grad, where signs for the settlement Ambrož pod Krvavcem direct us right onto a steep asphalt road (straight: lower station of the circular cable car to Krvavec and Štefanja Gora). When the steepness on the steep road eases somewhat, we will arrive at an intersection, where we continue left in the direction of the settlement Ambrož pod Krvavcem (straight: settlements Ravne, Apno and Šenturška Gora). A little further, the road temporarily descends a little, then ascends through occasionally quite panoramic slopes. Higher up, we arrive at Ambrož pod Krvavcem, where we bypass the church of St. Ambrose and the tourist farm Pr Ambružarju on the left side. From the tourist farm onward, the road enters the forest and ascends through it all the way to Planina Jezerca, where there is a large arranged parking lot.
B) From the Jesenice - Ljubljana highway, take the Kranj - East exit, then continue driving towards Brnik, Komenda and Mengeš. When we arrive at the main roundabout in Spodnji Brnik, we continue driving in the direction of Cerklje and Krvavec ski center. At the end of the settlement Cerklje na Gorenjskem, we leave the main road, which continues towards Velesovo and Visoko, and continue driving slightly right onto the road in the direction of the Krvavec ski center. Further on, we arrive at the village Grad, where signs for the settlement Ambrož pod Krvavcem direct us right onto a steep asphalt road (straight: lower station of the circular cable car to Krvavec and Štefanja Gora). When the steepness on the steep road eases somewhat, we will arrive at an intersection, where we continue left in the direction of the settlement Ambrož pod Krvavcem (straight: settlements Ravne, Apno and Šenturška Gora). A little further, the road temporarily descends a little, then ascends through occasionally quite panoramic slopes. Higher up, we arrive at Ambrož pod Krvavcem, where we bypass the church of St. Ambrose and the tourist farm Pr Ambružarju on the left side. From the tourist farm onward, the road enters the forest and ascends through it all the way to Planina Jezerca, where there is a large arranged parking lot.

Path description:
At the end of the parking lot, where the road turns left, to the right branches off the road toward the nearby Planina Jezerca, we will notice red mountain signposts that direct us straight onto the marked footpath in the direction of Kriška planina, Vrh Korena, Košutna, Kompotela and Mokrica, which ascends through the pastures of the already mentioned planina. After a short ascent we reach the cart track, which we follow to the left, crossing the slopes of Kržišče (1658 m). The cart track on which we walk quickly splits into two parts, and we continue straight on the lower one. Temporarily a nice view opens toward Kranj, Škofjeloško hribovje and Storžič, then the path begins to descend gently. A few minutes of walking follow, then we arrive at the parking lot at the lower part of Kriška planina.
Here a marked path continues slightly right toward Planina Koren, we continue straight across the other side of the valley, where we begin to ascend the grassy slope toward the nearby hamlet. After a short ascent we arrive at the Pr Florjan mountain hut, which we bypass on the right side. Above the mountain hut we gradually step onto a well-trodden but poorly marked trail, which begins to ascend more steeply on the grassy slope. Higher we reach a poorer, partly grassy cart track, and we ascend along it to the place where it turns right. From the mentioned bend we continue straight on a somewhat less pronounced path, by which we ascend to Dom na Krvavcu in a few minutes.
At Dom na Krvavcu we step onto the macadam road, and we begin ascending it in the direction of the summit of Krvavec and Zvoh. Further the path first leads past the transmitter tower, and with nice views we arrive at a completely unmarked junction, where from the road to the right branches a marked pathless route toward the summit of Krvavec.
From here we have two options for the ascent, namely to continue right and along the edge of the ski slope, right by the fence on which we notice some markers, ascend to the summit of Krvavec, or continue straight and follow the road to the smaller intersection. In this case at the mentioned intersection we continue sharply right, then in a few minutes we ascend to the panoramic summit with a log box, logbook and stamp. The path along the road is a few minutes longer but less steep than the one that continues along the edge of the ski slope.
During the operation of the ski center, walking on the part of the path where it runs across the ski run is prohibited.

On the way: Kriška planina (1480m), Dom na Krvavcu mountain hut (1684m)
