When Češnjica ends, we descend into a smaller valley, when the road again ascends we quickly get to Rovte, where we park on an appropriate place by the crossroad and recycling spot.

We continue towards Podnart, and then few kilometers before the mentioned settlement we turn right in the direction of Češnjica pri Kropi. Next follows crossing of river Lipnica, and then at the crossroad we choose the road in the direction of Na Kajžah (right Na Kmetih). When Češnjica ends, we descend into a smaller valley, when the road again ascends we quickly get to Rovte, where we park on an appropriate place by the crossroad and recycling spot.
C) From the road Dražgoše - Zgornja Besnica, near the hamlet Log (Log is a hamlet, which is part of the settlement Njivica), we drive on the side road in the direction of Njivica and Rovte. At the end of the settlement Rovte we get to a smaller crossroad, by which there is a recycling spot, and we park here on an appropriate place.
Path description:
From the recycling spot we continue in the direction of Besnica, and then before the houses we notice a blaze on the tree, which points us right on a narrower road which behind the nearby house ends. We continue on a footpath, and then past next house we reach another road which we follow to the right. When the settlement ends we continue on the forest road which behind the hunting observatory leads in the forest. In the forest, at the smaller crossroad we continue right towards Jamnik, we continue with an ascent on a rough macadam road which is higher changing into a wide cart track.
When we come below the peak Špile (811 meters) we choose the left cart track, from there we soon go right on a marked footpath which ascends diagonally on an indistinct saddle between the already mentioned peak on the right and Mali vrh (821 meters) on the right.
From the saddle follows a short descent, after that towards the left we cross quite steep slopes of the peak Špila, where mainly when there's a frozen snow is dangerous for slipping. When the crossing ends, we step on a forested ridge and the path widens into a cart track. A little further from the left joins another path from Jamnik, and we continue straight, on the path which out of the forest brings us on more scenic ridge, on which we quickly ascend to a small church of St. Primož and Felicijan on Jamnik.
From the church, we continue on a wide path, which on a panoramic ridge leads towards the west, and at the crossing at the information boards we go right and then immediately left. Next follows an ascent on the stairs, on the top of which, we reach the road Kropa - Dražgoše.
Here we go right and after few steps from the road left to the nearby NOB monument.
Above the monument in the forest the blazes show up, and we follow the footpath which quickly brings us on a cart track. Next follows an ascent on a cart track, and at the smaller crossing, we go left in the direction of Tehnika Meta and Vodice. Next follows some of a diagonal ascent and we reach the road which leads from Jamnik towards Jelovica.
The mentioned road, we only cross (right - tehnika Meta and Vodiška planina) and we continue in the direction of Bela peč. Further, we are still ascending diagonally, and the slope on which we walk becomes steeper. Higher, the path also leads us in the same direction, and occasionally some view opens up, which reaches all the way to Kamnik Savinja Alps. The path ahead from the slope brings us on the edge of plateau Jelovica, and at the crossings we follow the blazes, and from the left joins also the path from Podblica.
Next follows gentle to occasionally moderate ascent on the path which mainly runs through a dense forest. Even a little further forest gets thinner, and the path brings us on the panoramic edge of plateau, from where a beautiful view opens up towards Kamnik Savinja Alps, part of Karawanks, Gorenjska and surrounding hills. At viewpoint path turns a little right and in few minutes ascends on panoramic Bela peč, from where opens up also a view on the other side.
