Route description:
From the starting point, we head left, where we first cross the bridge over the Hrastnica stream, then keep slightly to the right. At the end of the settlement the road becomes macadam and starts to ascend through the forest. Higher up we arrive at a crossroad from which we continue straight ahead, just a little further the road takes us to the Kamnar homestead, where the drivable road ends.
We go around the house on the left side, behind the hayrack we continue along the grassy cart track, which quickly takes us into the forest. This is followed by a few minutes of traversing through the forest, then we arrive at the church of St. Barbara, from which a beautiful view opens up.
