Further, we drive past the golf field Arboretum, and when we reach the priority road in Rudnik pri Radomljah, at the crossroad we continue left and then we park by NOB monument, where there is enough space for only 2 cars.
B) We drive to Radomlje, where at the roundabout in the middle of the settlement, we go to the exit towards the settlement Rova. And good 100 meters ahead from the church in Radomlje, we turn left on street Opekarniška ulica. Further, we drive straight and follow the signs for Rudnik.

Path description:
From the starting point, we go on the road which continues towards the north and before a smaller hamlet splits. We continue on the middle road which leads us past few houses, and then it passes into the forest, through which it is mostly moderately ascending. Higher, the path brings us out of the forest, where we go through the yard of few houses, and behind the houses, the path splits.
We continue straight and on a grassy cart track we cross a larger meadow. Higher, the cart track ends, and we continue slightly left to the near hunting observatory, where we step into the forest and after few steps, we reach another wider cart track. We follow the cart track to the right, and at the poorly noticeable crossing, we choose the left cart track, so that Grdavov hrib, which we see in front of us, we bypass on the left side. On the northern side of the mentioned hill we reach an indistinct ridge, on which continues the cart track. Higher the ridge passes into slope, and we follow the cart track straight or towards the north. Few minutes higher we reach an asphalt road Kamnik - Zgornje Palovče, and we follow it to the left, and we walk there to the spot, where from the asphalt road, forest road branches off to the right. We continue on the forest road, and we walk there only few steps, because from there we continue right on a cart track, and from the cart track we go even a little more to the right on a footpath which ascends steeply. Higher, we diagonally towards the right cross a newer cart track, and then we are for a short time still steeply ascending. The path soon flattens and brings us on an indistinct peak Lancar, from which follows a moderate descent to the saddle between the peaks Lancar and Vrtače.
Next follow few crossings, where we continue towards the east and we ascend on the western secondary peak, and from which follows a short descent. On a smaller saddle we reach the cart track which we cross, and then we step out of the forest and through a panoramic meadow we ascend to the hunting observatory. At the observatory we go slightly left and we continue few more 10 strides with a view on the highest peaks of Kamnik Savinja Alps, and then the path returns into the forest, through which it is ascending to the indistinct and vegetated peak.
