Path description:
From the starting point, we continue on a sidewalk (by the main road which leads towards Vrzdenec), and we walk there to the crossroad, where signs for Koreno point us to the right. We continue past NOB monument, church and Center for the elderly Horjul (DEOS) to a crossroad, where the main road towards Koreno and Samotorica turns to the left, and we continue straight to the near chapel.
At the chapel, the road splits into three parts, and we choose the middle road, on which pointing also signs for steep path (on the right road leads gentle path on Koreno). The path ahead leads us past the hayrack, and then it brings us to yard of few nearby houses. We continue through the yard, and behind houses left on a cart track. On a wide cart track we walk only for a short time, and then signs for old steep path point us sharply right on a grassy cart track which brings us out of the forest on the nearby pastures. Above the pastures path turns left and returns into the forest. Next follows a short steeper ascent and the path brings us below the power line, and at the power line pole we continue left back in the forest. The path ahead is for some time relatively steeply ascending through the forest and then we get to meadows, where we at first get to a wooden bench, and above it also on a cart track, on which we are diagonally ascending towards the right. Before we reach an asphalt road, cart track turns sharply to the left, and after few steps of additional walking brings us to the already mentioned asphalt road. We follow the mentioned road to the right, and it quickly brings us to the spot, where from the right side gentle path joins.
We continue on the road, and there with increasingly beautiful views we ascend to the farm pr'Lenart.
From the mentioned farm we continue left and on gently asphalt road in 3 minutes of additional walking, we ascend to the church of St. Mohor on Koreno.
