Access to starting point:
We leave Gorenjska highway at exit Naklo, and then we follow the signs for Spodnje and Zgornje Duplje. In the settlement Zgornje Duplje we leave the main road and we continue left in the direction of camp Trnovc. The road then leads us past few more houses, and we follow a narrower asphalt road to tourist farm and camp Trnovc, where we park.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we return a little back to the information board of natural learning trail Kriva jelka, where first signs in the shape of bent fir tree point us on a footpath which continues by the tennis court. We quickly step on a bad macadam road which we follow a short time because signs point us slightly right on a cart track which passes into the forest. Cart track gradually changes into a forest footpath, and there we ascend to a meadow, which we only cross and we return into a lane of a forest. When a little ahead we step by the edge of fields, we again continue straight, so that the path leads us below the route of a high voltage power line, from where a nice view opens up towards Košuta, and at the cross and hunting observatory path which continues on the macadam road brings us into the forest.
Next follows a short descent, crossing of a stream and then we quickly ascend to the main road which we carefully cross. On the other side of the road, we go left and we continue walking on a sidewalk, by the main road, we walk to a bus stop in Zadraga, by which there is a cave Dopulnik (also Dupulnek).
We bypass the cave on the left side, and behind it, the path goes into the forest, where we follow the signs for learning path Kriva jelka. Higher follows few successive crossings, where we carefully follow the signs, and on the part where we walk on the macadam road, there is a nice view towards Dobrča and Julian Alps at the back.
A little further, we reach a wider macadam road, where for some time w join the path Pot treh zvonov, and from there we go a little further at the religious symbol sharply right on a forest footpath. Next follows quite an easy walk with some shorter ascents and descents, and then we return on a macadam road, where we still follow known signs.
On the part, where from the right side joins the path from the settlement Zgornje Duplje, we continue slightly left, and at the next marked crossing, to which we get to after few minutes of additional walking, we go left (right Vogvarjeva hiša and Grad - this is the path, on which we will return) and we continue walking on the macadam road.
The road then leads us past the crossroad, where the path branches off to the right towards NOB monument in Želin, and we continue straight and past cottages of brigands (koče rokovnjačev) we quickly get to bent fir tree (Kriva jelka), where there are some information boards.
Here we turn for 180 degrees and to the crossing behind the house Vogvarjeva hiša we return on the road, and then we follow the forest path, by which there are still signs for learning path Kriva jelka. Further follows a descent to the settlement Spodnje Duplje, where on the left side we bypass parish church of St. Vid, and through the settlement, we follow the signs, which are on this part a little insufficient.
On the edge of the settlement by the chapel we cross a little wider asphalt road, and then we continue by the field all the way to the spot, where we cross the main road Naklo - Križe.
On the other side of the main road on the macadam road we descend a little, after that partly through the forest, and partly through meadows we follow the learning path. When we reach an asphalt road, we go left, and there we continue all the way to tourist farm Trnovc, where we started and finished the circular path.
