Adergas - Štefanja gora (via šterna)

Access to starting point:
From the Ljubljana–Jesenice highway take the Vodice or Brnik exit, or alternatively Kranj–East, and follow the road further towards Cerklje na Gorenjskem. In Cerklje continue on the main road (direction Adergas), which we then follow to the village of Trata, where signs for Adergas direct us to the right. Further, we drive on a somewhat narrower road, which we then follow to the large parking lot in front of the former monastery in Adergas.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue on the asphalt road which continues on the left side of the wall of the former monastery. We follow the mentioned road to the first left bend, where signs for Štefanja gora direct us right onto a footpath. After some ten steps of further walking, the marked path turns left and begins to ascend more steeply. Soon the steepness eases and from the left the path from the water intake joins us. We continue slightly right past a smaller shrine on a gentle path which continues along and beside the cart track; the latter is usually quite muddy a few days after rain. A little further, the path from Velesovo also joins from the left side, but we continue on the wide and gentle cart track. The easy path then brings us to a marked junction, beside which there is a small chapel.
We continue left in the direction of "šterna" (right "klopce") on the path, which continues for some time as a gentle cart track. The cart track soon turns into a wide and somewhat steeper footpath, which higher up joins another wider cart track. We continue the moderate ascent through the forest and from the left the marked path from the village Olševek joins us. Just a little above the mentioned junction we reach the "šterna", where the path turns sharply right and after a further short ascent brings us to a small saddle. Here we continue right on the cart track, from which soon a moderately steep footpath branches off a little further to the right. We continue the ascent on the mentioned path, which soon brings us to an unmarked junction, where we have two options for continuing.
If we continue right, we will reach the summit of Štefanja gora after 5 minutes of further walking, namely via an unmarked path; if we continue straight on the gentle path, we will first reach the Pr Mežnarju tourist farm, from which we then ascend to the aforementioned summit in 5 minutes.
