Few kilometers ahead, after Petrol gas station we turn left in the direction of Nazarje. Further, we drive through Nazarje, where we follow the signs for settlements Dobletina and Šmartno ob Dreti. Soon after Dobletina and still before Lačja vas, we turn left in the direction of Kokarje. Further, we cross the bridge over the river Dreta, and then we quickly get to Kokarje, where at the marked crossroad we continue slightly right in the direction of sports field Laze, to which we drive to after few 100 meters of additional driving. We park on a parking lot by ŠRC Laze.

Path description:
Near the starting point, there is a marked crossing, from where we go on the bottom road in the direction of the mountain hut Dom na Farbanci (slightly left Čreta over Tajna). The path at first leads by the sports field, where at the unmarked crossroad we continue straight or slightly left. On the other side of ŠRC Laze the road changes into a cart track, and it passes into the forest. A wide cart track at some crossings we follow in the direction of blazes, and then at the spot, where the cart track turns right and crosses a torrent, we continue left on a steep footpath. The footpath quickly flattens, and then at the crossings we again follow the blazes. A little further ascent ends and then follows a descent to the nearby asphalt road which we follow to the right, and there past two houses we quickly get to mountain signposts, where we continue left over a small wooden bridge, on a footpath in the direction of the mountain hut Dom na Farbanci. Next follows an ascent through the forest, where we are at first ascending on a cart track, and higher on a well-settled footpath which leads us past a well Lahki studenec. Above a well we cross another cart track, and then relatively steep path flattens a little and passes into a small indistinct valley. From the small valley we soon turn a little to the right, and then we at first join the cart track, and few steps higher also the macadam road, and then we quickly reach the mountain hut Dom planincev na Farbanci.
