Access to starting point:
A) We drive to Škofja Loka, then continue driving in the direction of Poljanska dolina. When we arrive in Žiri, we continue through the settlement on the main road, driving to about the primary school Žiri, or the inn Obuti Maček. We park somewhere nearby; the start of the described path is near the inn Obuti Maček.
B) We drive to Vrhnika, then follow the signs for Smrečje and Žiri. When we arrive in Žiri, we join the main road through Poljanska dolina and follow it to the left, driving to about the primary school Žiri, or the inn Obuti Maček. We park on a suitable parking lot nearby; the start of the described path is near the inn Obuti Maček.
C) From Logatec we drive towards Rovte and onwards to Žiri. Through Žiri we drive past the parish church of St. Martin, then we arrive at the inn Obuti Maček, near which the described path begins. We park on a suitable place nearby.
D) From the road Idrija - Spodnja Idrija, immediately after the end of Idrija we turn right (if coming from the direction of Spodnja Idrija, before Idrija we turn left) over the bridge across the river Idrijca towards the Eurospin store. On the other side of the bridge we arrive in the settlement Mokraška vas, and we keep to the main road leading towards Ledinsko razpotje and Žiri. Higher up the road leads through a few hairpin turns, then we arrive in the settlement Ledinsko razpotje, where the road gradually flattens. After the neighbouring settlement Govejk, the road begins to descend towards Žiri; after a few kilometres of descent we arrive in Žiri and a little further at the intersection, where we reach the main road Žiri - Logatec. We continue left in the direction of Škofja Loka and then drive through Žiri. Soon after the parish church of St. Martin we arrive at the inn Obuti Maček, near which the described path begins. We park on a suitable place nearby.

Path description:
About 10 steps north (direction towards Škofja Loka) from the inn Obuti Maček, we will notice the blazes, which from the main road direct us southeast onto a road that leads us past a few more houses. The road soon ends, then we continue on the marked path, which ascends above Žiri. At first some views open up towards Žiri, then the path enters the forest, through which we ascend for some time, following the blazes at the junctions. Higher we emerge from the forest onto panoramic meadows; a little further, at the end of a smaller forest island, on the right we notice a bench and next to it the registration box on Goropeški grič.
Description and pictures refer to the condition in 2019 (January).
