Route description:
From the starting point we go on the road in the direction of Solčava, Podolševa and Logarska dolina, the signpost which used to be next to the road signs is now hidden nearby. The path first leads past the homestead Šumel, and before the next houses we go slightly right on a cart track which through a meadow passes into the forest and starts ascending diagonally. Then follows a few minutes of diagonal ascent, and then the cart track flattens and a little further even slightly descends. After a short descent we reach another cart track, and we follow it to the right, at a few crossings we continue straight. When we get to a wooden cross we turn sharply to the right and then we cross the slopes towards the east. Next follows a few smaller crossings where we go straight, and the cart track on an indistinct ridge turns semicircularly back towards the west. Here the path brings us out of the forest, and to the church of St. Jakob only a shorter walk and crossing of two grazing fences separate us.
