Path description:
From the starting point, we walk on the main road to the hamlet Nova vas (direction Kranj), where signs for waterfall Šum point us sharply left (from the direction Kranj right). We continue on a descending asphalt road which past bar Jawa, brings us to the spot, where the asphalt ends. From here we continue on a wide cart track good 10 meters and then signs for waterfall Šum point us sharply left, on a nicely settled path. The path ahead, at first gently descends to the information board, and then turns left in the forest, where it brings us above the waterfall. From here on we follow a well-secured path, on which in few minutes we descend below the waterfall.
