Route description:
From the starting point, the path branches off to the right towards Kopa, Davovec and Krvavec, while we walk along the asphalt road to a crossroad some 10 meters away, where we continue along the lower right road (left Štefanja gora via Spodnja Štefanja vas) in the direction of Mežnar and the church. After the crossroad, we quickly reach the first houses in the hamlet Zgornja Štefanja vas, and then, when the houses end, we continue along the slightly right road in the direction of Možjanca (left church of St. Stephen on Štefanja gora). The road leads us along the pasture for some time longer, then transitions into the forest. A gentle descent follows, then the forest thins and some views open towards Gorenjska from the path. After a few minutes of traversing, we reach the first houses, then also a crossroad, where we continue right towards the church of St. Nicholas (1 minute), or straight towards the refreshment spot Rožmarin (2 minutes).
