From the starting point, we walk to mountain signposts, and from there we continue on the road Smuška cesta in the direction of Smuk. At first, we walk on an asphalt road, on which we quickly get to some houses. Here the road slightly descends and it brings us to signposts, for the church of St. Primož, which point us slightly left on a footpath which continues through the forest.
