When you arrive in Preddvor, leave the main road and continue driving left towards the centre of the mentioned settlement; from there follow the signs for the Bašelj settlement. A little after the Bašelj settlement, the road descends to the Milka stream and crosses it over a bridge.

Path description:
From the parking lot, take the left road in the direction of Velika and Mala Poljana (the path between both roads leads to the mountain pasture Javornik, also Dolenčeva pot to Velika Poljana). The road soon turns left, leading us past the water tank and quarry. A little further, the road turns into a cart track, which then ascends more steeply for a while. A little after the cart track flattens and turns right into the forest, a marked footpath branches off from it a little more to the right, on which we continue the ascent. For a short time we continue the ascent along the torrent, then the path turns left and ascends transversely, in the last part over a somewhat collapsed gully. At the top of the gully we step onto a kind of ridge between two streams, where the path from the villages Goriče and Zalog joins from the left. A short ascent follows along the panoramic ridge, then we arrive at a marked junction, from where we continue on the lower left path in the direction of Mala Poljana (right Velika Poljana).
We continue on the path, which after a few more steps brings us into a forest-covered valley. The increasingly poorly visible path ahead ascends through the mentioned valley, which becomes narrower and gradually turns into a gully. Further we ascend on a barely visible path ascending between two steep slopes. The path, which is mainly covered with leaves and on certain sections exposed to falling rocks, then higher brings us onto an initially quite eroded cart track, along which in a few minutes we exit the forest onto the lower part of Mala Poljana. The cart track along which we continue the ascent then brings us after a few more minutes of walking to the hunting hut on Mala Poljana.
