Further, we drive through the valley by the river Meža, and when we get to a crossroad, where the road to Solčava branches off to the left, starts the described path. We park somewhere nearby on an appropriate place by the road.

Path description:
From the starting point is we go on the road in the direction of Solčava, Podolševa and valley Logarska dolina, signpost which used to be next to the road signs, is now hidden nearby. The path at first leads past the homestead Šumel, and before next houses we go slightly right on a cart track which through a meadow passes into the forest and it starts ascending diagonally. Then follows few minutes of a diagonal ascent, and then the cart track flattens and a little further even slightly descends. After a short descent, we reach another cart track, and we follow it to the right, and at few crossings we continue straight. When we get to a wooden cross we turn sharply to the right and then we cross the slopes towards the east. Next follows few smaller crossings, where we go straight, and the cart track on an indistinct ridge semicircular turns back towards the west. Here the path brings us out of the forest, and to the church of St. Jakob separates us only a shorter walk and crossing of two grazing fences.
