Path description:
From the crossroad, we go right, on the road which over a bridge crosses the stream Hrastnica. A little further, we continue slightly right, and at the hayrack we choose a slightly left road. Next follows an ascent to the last house, where we go right, and then we steeply ascend to the edge of the forest.
From the edge of the forest, where there are cross and bench, a nice view opens up on Škofja Loka, and the path passes into the forest and continues on cart tracks. Higher, at few crossings we follow the blazes, and the path gradually flattens and leads us past another bench and a cross. Next follows few minutes of crossing, where we on the right side bypass 652 meters high peak Planina, and when we step out of the forest we reach an asphalt road, on which we ascend to the church of St. Andrej.
