After the road sign 8.0 km we need to pay attention, because we will a little behind the bus stop and a pedestrian crossing, turn left in a settlement Gortina (turn off from the main road isn't marked). Immediately, when we leave the main road we get to the settlement Gortina, and then we drive in the direction of Muta, we turn left at the marked crossroad, where we notice signs for Bistriški jarek. The road then quickly brings us in Bistriški jarek, through which we are gently ascending. We park by the former POŠ Branik, today Glasbeni dom, that is the caption on the building, otherwise the building is used for various activities.

Path description:
From the marked parking lot, we continue on the asphalt road which behind the sports field quickly brings us to a marked crossing by the ecological chapel.
We continue right towards the Sedelnik waterfall (left Pernice), where the path at first brings us to the chapel, and behind it, over a small bridge we cross the river Mučka Bistrica. On the other side of the river, the path goes into the forest and it is ascending by the stream. After few minutes, the path splits, and we continue straight towards the waterfall (right steeply upwards Sveti Jernej).
Above the crossing, we once again cross the stream and then partly fenced path quickly brings us to Sedelnik waterfall.
