Path description:
From the starting point, the path branches off to the right towards Kopa, Davovec and Krvavec, and we walk on an asphalt road to few 10 meters distant crossroad, where we continue on the bottom right road (left Štefanja gora over Spodnja Štefanja vas) in the direction of Mežnar and church. After the crossroad, we quickly get to the first houses in hamlet Zgornja Štefanja vas, and when houses already end we continue on a slightly right road in the direction of Možjanca (left church of St. Štefan on Štefanja gora). The road further for some time still leads us by the pasture, and then it passes into the forest. A gentle descent follows, after that forest gets thinner and from the path, a view opens up a little towards Gorenjska. After few minutes of crossing, we get to the first houses, and then also to a crossroad, where we continue right towards the church of St. Nikolaj (1 minute), or straight towards snack bar Rožmarin (2 minutes).
