At the end of the northeastern part of the parking lot, we notice shorter stairs, on which we ascend, and then we continue between sports field and the main road towards Ljubelj. We quickly reach local road which we follow to the left, when we reach the main road towards Begunje na Gorenjskem, we ascend on it to the left turn. At the crossroad few 10 strides ahead from the turn we continue right on the road Pod gradom.
