We keep to the lower left road (the right one leads to a footpath towards Kokrsko sedlo), and at further intersections we follow the signs for Jermanca or Kamniško sedlo. We park before the last left bend, as further driving is prohibited by a traffic sign. Driving and parking beyond the traffic sign is prohibited, the fine for violation is 1.000 €.

Route description:
From the place where we parked, we continue for a few more minutes on the gravel road. When the road ends, we continue on foot along the path that crosses the slopes to the right and a little further joins the marked path that starts at Dom v Kamniški Bistrici.
We continue slightly left towards Kamniško sedlo and at first ascend gently above the stream Sedelšček, then the path becomes steeper and leads us to the junction V Klinu.
We continue on the left marked path (the right path, marked "pot ne vodi na Kamniško sedlo", leads to Repov kot), which continues to ascend more steeply, and higher up leads us to the spring below Brana, which however dries up on dry days.
From the spring there follows about 15 minutes of ascent through the forest and we arrive at the emergency bivouac Pri pastirjih.

Along the route: Priključitev poti iz doline (1011m), V Klinu (1068m), Izvir pod Brano (1278m)
