Path description:
From the starting point, we continue on the road by which we've parked, and next to it at first runs learning path Olševek, so by the path, we notice some learning boards. Learning path in the next crossroad turns left, and we continue on the bottom road which continues straight, and from there blazes soon point us to the left in the forest. We continue the ascent through a dense forest, and the path partly leads us on forest cart tracks, partly on forest footpaths, and at the crossings we follow the blazes. Higher, the path brings us on a wider cart track which we follow to the right, and from there for some time a view opens up a little. After the panoramic part cart track for some time steeply ascends, and then we join the marked path from Adergas.
We continue left, where the path leads past "šterne", and then the path a little ahead flattens on a smaller saddle, where there is a crossing, and by it signposts for Olševek, Adergas and Možjanca.
We continue on the right path, by which there isn't any signpost, but by the path there are trail blazes. The path ahead moderately ascends on an indistinct ridge, from which we almost unnoticeably pass on a quite gentle slope. A little further, the path splits and we choose the right path (path straight leads past the agrotourism and is slightly longer), on which in few minutes of additional walking, we ascend to the church of St. Štefan on the top of Štefanja gora.
