Adergas - Štefanja gora (via benches)

Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we go to the exit Vodice or Brnik, or we can go also on Kranj - east and we follow the road ahead in the direction of Cerklje na Gorenjskem. In Cerklje we continue on the main road (direction Adergas), which we then follow to the village Trata, where signs for Adergas point us to the right. Further, we drive on a little narrower road which we then follow to a large parking lot in front of former monastery in Adergas.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue on the asphalt road which continues on the left side of the wall of former monastery. The mentioned road, we follow to the first left turn, where signs for Štefanja gora point us to the right on a footpath. After few 10 strides of additional walking, a marked path turns to the left and starts ascending steeper. Soon steepness decreases and from the left joins the path from water catchment. We continue slightly right past a smaller religious symbol on a gently sloping path which continues on and by the cart track which is few days after the rain usually still quite muddy. A little further from the left side joins also the path from Velesovo, and we still continue on a wide and gentle cart track. Easy path then brings us to a marked crossing, by which a smaller chapel is situated.
We continue right in the direction of "klopce/benches" (left "šterne") on a cart track which gradually starts moderately ascending. Higher, the path brings us to three successive benches (klopce), from which a nice view opens up on Gorenjska. Cart track then passes into the forest, changes into quite a steep footpath which quickly flattens and brings us out of the forest on a wide grassy slope, on which in few minutes we walk to an asphalt road and then also to tourist farm Pr Mežnarju.
From the farm we continue on one of two path, which ascends through partly steep grassy slope. After a good 5 minutes of additional walking, we step on Štefanja gora, on which stands the church of St. Štefan.
