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 bottom right road (left Štefanja gora over Spodnja Štefanja vas) in the direction of Mežnar and church. After the crossroad, we quickly get to the first houses in hamlet Zgornja Štefanja vas, and when the houses already end, we continue to the left road (slightly right Možjanca) in the direction of the church on Štefanja gora.
The path ahead leads us on a narrower asphalt road which is winding through the forest and higher through an ample meadow. At the end of the meadow, at the spot where from the left another path joins (path from the village Adergas, Dvorje, Grad, Štefanja Gora...), at the information boards a short path branches off to the right, which leads to an open door farm Pri Mežnarju, and we continue straight to the end of the road. From the end of the road, we go straight on a beaten footpath, on which we at first through a meadow, and then through the forest in few minutes reach the church of St. Štefan, which is situated on the summit of Štefanja gora, and from there a beautiful view opens up.
