Path description:
From the starting point, the path branches off to the right towards Kopa, Davovec and Krvavec, and we walk on an asphalt road to few 10 meters distant crossroad, where we continue on the left road in the direction of the hunting lodge and Damahaus CNC (straight Štefanja gora via Zgornja Štefanja vas). The road on which we continue soon turns quite to the left and out of the forest brings us by the edge of a meadow and few 10 strides ahead also to the first houses in hamlet Spodnja Štefanja vas. After the house with house number Štefanja Gora 20, we continue right (straight Grad and Dvorje), and then at the next crossroad, by which there is an information board of red deer we go left downwards (straight hunting cottage). We continue on the forest road which leads us past few several individual houses, and then it passes into the forest and a little ahead also on meadows. A little further, at the unmarked crossroad we continue right, and at the crossings we follow the signs for the church and farm Mežnar. A little after the hunting observatory, we get to the next crossing, where new tourist signs pointing on a slightly right path (road), and we continue on the slightly left path (cart track), by which we notice old red signs with the caption Pri Mežnarju.
We continue through the forest, where the path leads us without large changes in altitude. When from the left joins the path from Adergas (until now from the left joined the path from the village Grad and Dvorje) we continue slightly right through a larger meadow, at the end of which we join the asphalt road which we reach right next to open door farm Pri Mežnarju.
Here we continue left and then from the end of the road straight on the path which at first ascends through a meadow, and then through a lane of a forest brings us on a partly panoramic peak of Štefanja gora, where there stands the church of St. Štefan.
