Just before the bridge we leave the main road and continue driving straight in the direction of Besnica. Further, we drive through Rakovica and Spodnja Besnica to Zgornja Besnica, where at the sign for the end of Zgornja Besnica, we park in an appropriate place by numerous signposts.

We continue driving on the old regional road towards Ljubljana, and we drive on it to Kranj, where immediately after the bridge over the river Sava we turn right in the direction of Besnica. Further, we drive through Rakovica and Spodnja Besnica to Zgornja Besnica, where at the sign for the end of Zgornja Besnica, we park in an appropriate place by numerous signposts.

Path description:
From the starting point, we go on a wide cart track which starts ascending diagonally towards the west. A moderately steep cart track which ascends through the forest, a little higher turns to the left and splits into two parts. We continue on the left wider cart track which further ascends through an indistinct valley. When the relatively wide cart track turns even more to the left, we leave it and continue the ascent a little to the right on a worse and also much steeper cart track. Higher up, a few less noticeable paths join the cart track, and we continue straight and on the cart track, which in the meantime has already changed into an easy-to-follow footpath, we ascend to a panoramic clearing.
From the clearing, from which a nice view opens up on the Karawanks and Kamnik Savinja Alps, the path returns into the forest and after 3 minutes of additional walking brings us to the forested peak Rovnik.
