Path description:
From the center of Zalog we continue straight in the direction towards Gozd and Kriška gora (right Velika Poljana, Mala Poljana and Storžič) and on an asphalt road we continue to the hamlet Svarje, where the road turns left. The road after a few houses becomes macadam, and we leave it before it starts descending.
We continue right, where behind the house the path enters the forest, and in the forest the blazes also appear, of which there were none until now except for the mountain directional sign. Through the forest we first ascend transversely to the left, and when we reach the cart track, we continue right. The cart track soon splits; we choose the left one, and at subsequent junctions we follow the blazes. Higher up the cart track ends and we continue the ascent on a mountain path that is at first still steep but gradually levels out. The level path brings us out of the forest onto vast pastures, across which we walk in a few minutes to the village Gozd, where at the first junction we continue left (right Koča na Kriški gori and Tolsti vrh), at the second junction, only a few dozen steps distant, we go right (left Golnik).
The path further leads past the chapel of St. Nikolaj, past the parking lot and past the junction of the road to the Gozd takeoff site, to Zavetišče v Gozdu, which we notice on the left side of the road.
