From the starting point, we go left, where we at first cross the bridge through stream Hrastnica, and then we stick slightly to the right. At the end of the settlement road becomes a macadam and it starts ascending through the forest. Higher, we get to a crossroad from which we continue straight, and only a little further road brings us to the homestead Kamnar, where the driving road ends.
We bypass the house on the left side, and behind the hayrack we continue on a grassy cart track which quickly brings us into the forest. Next follows few minutes of crossing through the forest and then we get to the church of St. Barbara, from which a beautiful view opens up.
