Route description:
From the parking lot, we walk to the main road, and then we continue some 10 steps towards the traffic light. Still before the traffic light we carefully cross the main road and head to a steep road, by which there are signs for Spodnje Prapretno, St. Primož and Velika planina. At first, we ascend on an asphalt road which makes two hairpin turns, and soon the road becomes macadam and brings us to a forested ridge, where the road continues for some time. Further on, we gradually arrive at the southwest slopes, where we step out of the forest, and after the left turn we arrive at an unmarked junction, by which there is a map.
We continue straight (right Spodnje Praprotno) on the road which returns into the forest. Higher up, the road leads us through a smaller hamlet, and above the hamlet it makes a left turn. Here we temporarily leave it and continue straight on a cart track which after a few minutes of diagonal ascent returns to the road. At the next left turn we go once again straight on a cart track, by which there are signs for St. Primož and Domžalski dom na Mali planini.
The path ahead leads us on a wide cart track which past the chapel brings us to the spring named Umivalnik (on the sign there is an inscription in Gorenjska dialect Umivavnk).
Next follows some more diagonal ascent and we arrive at a junction, where a path branches off to the left towards Velika planina, and we continue straight in the direction of St. Primož, where we continue walking on a cart track. A few minutes higher we leave the dense forest and with nice views we arrive at the church of St. Primož and the nearby refreshment area.
Between the refreshment area and the church the path continues, which leads us to the nearby larger chapel, where the path turns left. Next follows a short ascent and we arrive at the church of St. Peter, which we can nicely see in these last few minutes of walking.
Stahovica - St. Primož 1:10, St. Primož - St. Peter 0:03.
