Access to starting point:
A) From Cerklje na Gorenjskem, Šenčur or Kranj we drive towards Preddvor. When we reach the main road Kranj - Jezersko we follow it towards Jezersko, then before the settlement Tupaliče we turn right in the direction of Možjanca. In Tupaliče we again turn right, and then on an ascending road we drive to the settlement Možjanca, where near the church of St. Nikolaj or a little above it at the recycling spot we park on an appropriate place.
B) From Zgornje Jezersko we drive on the main road towards Kranj. When we get to a crossroad, where a road towards Preddvor branches off to the right, we continue straight, and then first crossroad left. After a short ascent, the road flattens, and then on the marked crossroad we continue left in the direction of Možjanca. Next follows an ascent to the settlement Možjanca, where near the church of St. Nikolaj or little above it at the recycling spot we park on an appropriate place.
Path description:
From the crossroad a little below the church, we go in the direction of Štefanja Gora and we continue on the macadam road which at first leads past few more houses. When the settlement ends, at the smaller crossroad we continue on the left upper road (on the right road we can get to Apnišče), which passes into the forest. Further, we are for some time gently to moderately ascending, and then the road flattens and a little later it gets an asphalt covering. When a little ahead we step out of the forest, in front of us we notice village Štefanja Gora, to which we have few minutes of walking. Still before we get to houses in the village, we get to a marked crossroad, where we continue sharply right in the direction of the church on Štefanja gora.
The path ahead leads us on a narrower asphalt road which is winding through the forest and higher through an ample meadow. At the end of the meadow, at the spot where from the left another path joins (path from the village Adergas, Dvorje, Grad, Štefanja Gora...), at the information boards a short path branches off to the right, which leads to an open door farm Pri Mežnarju, and we continue straight to the end of the road. From the end of the road, we go straight on a beaten footpath, on which we at first through a meadow, and then through the forest in few minutes reach the church of St. Štefan, which is situated on the summit of Štefanja gora, and from there a beautiful view opens up.
