Path description:
From the starting point, we go on the path in the direction of Olševa, St. Lenart and Potočka zijalka. We bypass tourist farm Strevc on the left side, and the path goes above the farm in the forest, where for a short time, we continue on a cart track. We quickly reach the macadam road, on which we ascend to a smaller crossroad.
From the crossroad, we continue in the direction towards St. Lenart (sharply right Potočka zijalka, Obel kamen and Govca), and then the road leads us also past the gate. A little further, we go from the road slightly right on an ascending cart track, and at the nearby crossing we choose the right cart track. Next follows an ascent through partly already overgrown clearing, from which a nice view opens up on Kamnik Savinja Alps, and then the path returns into the forest. Next follows also gentle diagonal ascent towards the left and we already get to a saddle Sveti Duh, where we reach the national border.
On the saddle there is also marked crossing, and we continue straight in the direction towards St. Lenart / St. Leonhard (right Olševa, Lipševa vrata / Felsentore). We short time continue by the national border, and then the path turns a little to the right and passes entirely on the Austrian side, where it also starts considerably descending. Lower, after the small source we cross also a macadam road, and we continue on a footpath which is still descending (left farm Plaznik / Plasnik and Bela / Bad Vellach). Next follows a diagonal descent towards the right, and the path which mainly continues through the forest, we follow all the way to a grassy plain, where there is a church of St. Lenart.
The starting point - saddle Sveti Duh 0:35, saddle Sveti Duh - St. Lenart 0:35.
