Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue on a sidewalk and we walk by the road in the direction towards Železniki. Opposite the Mercator Selca store at the pedestrian crossing, we carefully cross the main road, and then after the store we go right on the road in the direction of Lajše. When a little ahead, the road towards Lajše turns right, we go left on a side road which leads us past few more houses and it gradually starts ascending. Behind the last house a beaten unmarked footpath branches off to the right, which at first leads by the edge of the forest and then turns right in the forest through which it is ascending on and by the cart track. Higher, we cross an asphalt road and we are still ascending on a well-beaten footpath. After few minutes, we once again cross an asphalt road, and the path gradually passes on a forested ridge, on which we are ascending until we get on a meadow, from which a beautiful view opens up, which reaches all the way to the Alps. On the meadow we continue left, and the hayrack we bypass on the right side, and a little ahead we already step on a cart track which is diagonally ascending. A little further, we get to the next meadow, which we cross by the far left edge, and footpath then continues through the forest to the saddle northwest from Lepo brdo.
Here at the smaller religious symbol a short path branches off sharply to the right, which leads on Lepo brdo, and we go slightly left and we continue walking on a cart track.
On the saddle for some time a nice view opens up and the path then passes into the forest, where from the crossroad we continue right (straight Kališe), and few steps ahead at the crossing, we choose the upper left road, from which we go right on a beaten footpath which starts steeply ascending through the forest. After few minutes of a steep ascent, we step out of the forest, where the path flattens, and to the church of the Holy Cross, which we already see in front of us, separates us only a good minute of walking.
