Path description:
From the store, car bodywork and car painting Modri val, we continue on a local road which runs through the settlement Vešter. A little further, at the smaller crossroad we continue left, so that we bypass the newer apartments on the left side. After the parking lot, where parking is allowed only for residents at the address Vešter 20a and 20b, the asphalt ends, and the macadam road a little further on the right side bypasses the last house. When we are to the right of the mentioned house we continue on the left cart track which continues through a small valley, and after the transformer we go once again slightly left, on an even narrower cart track. From the mentioned cart track which crosses the hay meadow, after a few steps we go sharply left, on a beaten unmarked footpath which passes into the forest. For a few minutes we ascend on a forested footpath, and then we reach the cart track, which we follow to the left. A little further, we go from the cart track slightly right on a beaten path, which further ascends diagonally, and it leads us also below some shorter overhangs. Higher there are a few more crossings, where we follow the better beaten path, and when the path flattens, we temporarily join a worse road, which we follow to the left. From the road already after a few steps, at the woodpile we go right, and at the first crossing after the woodpile we choose the left path. Further, we first moderately, and then steeply ascend through the forest, and at the crossings we still follow the better beaten path. Higher, the path flattens and splits.
We continue straight (left Vrh soteske) and for a few minutes we walk on a fairly level path. A little further a path joins us from the left, which leads over Vrh soteske, and we continue straight and on the cart track we begin to descend more noticeably. There follow a few more minutes of mostly moderate descent and the path brings us to the hunting cottage on Križna gora.
From the hunting cottage we continue straight and leave the forest, then through a panoramic meadow we walk to the nearby church of the Holy Cross.
Description and pictures refer to the condition in the year 2019 (April).
