Path description:
From the intersection at the bus stop we head onto the side road, which with a view of Hom and newer houses brings us to the edge of the forest, where we go left. Further on we walk between some houses, at the smaller intersection behind the sign we go slightly right onto the upper road, which leaves the settlement and through the meadow brings us to the edge of the forest, where at the transmitters we leave the road and continue right onto the cart track, which takes us into the forest. Next follows ascent along the cart track, which splits a little higher; we continue along the wider left cart track, which crosses the bed of the stream. Next follows some traverse ascent; when the cart track turns right it quickly brings us to a junction of several cart tracks, and we continue along the right one, from which temporarily a nice view opens onto the Kamniško Savinjske Alpe. Next follow some junctions where we continue straight; where the terrain flattens we go slightly right from the cart track onto the trodden path, which takes us onto an indistinct forested ridge. Here at the junction we choose the left path, a little further we reach the cart track along which we continue. The cart track narrows higher up, and we quickly arrive at the indistinct summit of Breznik, where on the left we notice a bench and a sign with the inscription Breznik.
We continue straight in the direction towards Sv. Jakob (inscription on the tree), and in a few minutes of descent we join the marked path from Sora, which we reach at the sign.
We continue straight in the direction of Katarina, but just a little further we join the macadam and then the asphalt road, which we follow to the right. We continue along the asphalt road, which past the NOB monument brings us to the upper part of the village Studenčice. Here the road begins to ascend more steeply, then flattens and past the abandoned quarry brings us to the village Tehovec. We continue gentle ascent along the again more panoramic slope, following the asphalt road all the way to the church of sv. Florijan in the already mentioned village.
From the mentioned church we continue along the asphalt road for some time, then arrive at a minor saddle from where the path continues along a wide macadam road. We follow the mentioned road only briefly, then the markers direct us slightly left onto the path that enters the forest and bypasses the summit of Sveti Jakob on the left side. After a few minutes of traversing we step out of the forest again, and we join the path coming from the village Topol. Here we continue sharply right and for some 10 steps continue along the wide cart track, then the markers direct us right onto the steep footpath, along which at the edge of the forest in a few minutes we ascend to the panoramic summit with the church of sv. Jakob.
