Path description:
From the starting point, we start ascending and after few 10 strides, we join a bit wider road which we follow to the right. Further, we are ascending on the asphalt road which higher has some marked shortcuts, and when the hairpin turns end, we continue with the ascent on the road. Higher, the road leads us past few more hamlets and two turn-offs of the path to the left towards Murovica, and we all the time continue straight on the asphalt road. After the both turn-offs we get to the center of the settlement Zagorica pri Dolskem, where the path leads us past the birth house of baron Jurij Vega, who was born in the year 1754.
When Zagorica ends, we quickly get to the church in Križevska vas, which we bypass on the right side (sharply left - farm Buven, left - Cicelj). Next follows some descent, and then the path leads past few more houses. Next follows a longer crossing of the southern slopes of Cicelj, and the path leads us past NOB monument and past the turn-off of a hunting path on Cicelj, all the way to Velika vas. Through the village we follow the blazes or signs for Sveti Miklavž, and also the path from the settlement Senožeti joins.
At the crossing, where we join the path from Senožeti, we continue left, on a cart track which passes into the forest. The cart track quickly changes into a mountain path, and it is further ascending diagonally towards the right. On the part, where the slope flattens, a marked path on Cicelj branches off to the left, and we continue straight towards Sveti Miklavž. Only a little further, the path brings us out of the forest on an ample meadow, where the path turns a little to the left towards the last house in the village, on which we notice an inscription box.
From the last house, we continue upwards, on a cart track which ascends through a meadow and after few minutes brings us to the church of St. Miklavž, which is situated on a panoramic hill.
