Preddvor - Štefanja gora (on footpath)

Access to starting point:
From Gorenjska highway, exit Kranj east, Kranj or Šenčur, we drive towards Jezersko. When we get to the settlement Tupaliče, we leave the main road and we continue driving left towards Preddvor. After the crossing of river Kokra Tupaliče ends and we get to Preddvor, where we park on a larger macadam parking lot in front of company Jelovica hiše d.o.o.

Path description:
From the parking lot through river Kokra we return back in Tupaliče, and when we reach the main road we continue right towards Kranj. By main road we walk to bakery Jaka, where we go slightly left on a little narrower road. When we ascend on the road above gas station Logo, at the crossroad we continue left in the direction of Možjanca. The path ahead leads us past few more houses, and then before the last house, which is located before a cross, we leave the road which leads towards Možjanca and we continue left among houses. Behind the house on the right we then notice the beginning of cart track which passes into the forest and is further for some time ascending parallel with an asphalt road. Higher, the cart track turns slightly towards the left and by the power line brings us into a small valley between Vrtičnik (682 meters) on the left and hill Vrhe (689 meters) on the right, where little higher we get to a crossing, where joins the path from Potoče.
Here we continue right, and at the next crossing we choose the left cart track. The path ahead continues by the edge of the forest, and higher brings us to the settlement Možjanca, where at first we get to snack bar Rožmarin, a little further, if at the crossroad we continue left, also to the church of St. Nikolaj.
From Možjanca we continue in the direction of Štefanja Gora, where the road leads us past few more houses, and then we get to the spot, where the road towards the nearby houses branches off to the right downwards. Here we continue straight, and right downwards we continue behind the houses, which we see below the road. Next follows some diagonal descent, and then we get to a smaller valley between Veliki vrh (785 meters) on the left and Apnišče (739 meters) on the right.
When we reach the mentioned small valley we continue left (right Betlehem and Olševek) and there we are lightly ascending. Cart track, on which we walk higher changes into a forest path, and which splits into two parts.
We continue straight in the direction of Štefanja gora (right Apnišče), and a little higher when we reach the cart track, we go sharply right. On the cart track in a gentle ascent, we quickly reach the saddle between Štefanja gora on the left and Apnišče on the right.
Here we continue slightly left in the direction of Štefanja gora (straight downwards Olševek, right Apnišče). The path ahead quickly splits, and we choose the right path (straight tourist farm Pr Mežnarju), which a little ahead brings us on the pasture, by the edge of which we then ascend to the church of St. Štefan on Štefanja gora.
