Path description:
From the parking lot at the church of St. Štefan we continue on the asphalt road which is moderately ascending and after a short ascent, it brings us to sharp a left turn. Only a little above the mentioned turn, from the road a marked footpath branches off sharply to the right, which leads on Hom and Osolnik. We go on the mentioned path, which goes into a dense forest and starts ascending steeper. Higher, the path for a short time flattens and it gets very close to a road on Osolnik.
We continue slightly right on a marked mountain path, which a little higher splits into two parts. We again continue right in the direction of Hom (slightly left Osolnik - path, which on the left side bypasses the peak of Hom) on the more and more steep path. The path higher flattens, and then in few minutes of additional walking brings us to the summit of Hom, from which a nice view opens up towards Gorenjska.
From the top, we continue in the direction of Osolnik on the path which starts moderately descending through the forest and then turns to the left and after few minutes of descent brings us to the road on Osolnik. We follow the mentioned road to the right and we follow it approximately 15 minutes, to a cross by the road (to here possible also on marked shortcuts).
At the cross, we continue right on a marked path in the direction of Osolnik. The path ahead at first leads past NOB monument, and then starts ascending steeper through more and more thin forest. Higher, the path ascends even steeper by a wire fence, and then in front of us, we notice a church on the summit Osolnik, to which we have only few steps of more and more scenic walking.
The starting point - Hom 50 minutes, Hom - Osolnik 1:00.
