Route description:
From the parking lot and intersection continue along the worse and steeper left road towards sv. Lovrenc and Dom pod Sv. Lovrencem (straight to Kališče and Storžič, to Storžič and to Kališče it is also possible by continuing left). From the intersection onwards we ascend relatively steeply, during the ascent a marked footpath branches off to the right leading directly to the sv. Lovrenc church and bypassing Dom pod Lovrencem.
