Adergas - Štefanja gora (via šterna)

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 left in the direction of "šterna" (right "bench") on the path which continues on for some time still gentle cart track. Cart track soon changes into a wide and a little steeper footpath, and higher it joins other wider cart track. We continue moderate ascent through the forest and from the left joins the marked path from the village Olševek. Only a little above the mentioned crossing we get to "šterna", where the path turns sharply to the right and after a further shorter ascent it brings us on a small saddle. Here we continue right on a cart track, from which soon even a little more to the right moderately steep footpath branches off. We continue the ascent on the mentioned path, and it soon brings us to an unmarked crossing, where we have two options to continue.
If we continue right, we will ascend to the summit of Štefanja gora after 5 minutes of additional walking, namely on an unmarked path, and if we continue straight on a gently sloping path, we will at first come to tourist farm Pr Mežnarju, from which we then in 5 minutes ascend on the already mentioned peak.
