Further, we drive on occasionally a little more winding and also ascending road which leads us past some smaller settlements. Higher, we get to the edge of plateau Bloška planota, where the road flattens, and we drive in the village Strmca, where local road towards the settlement Mramorovo pri Lužarjih branches off to the left.

Path description:
From the crossroad, we continue on a local road in the direction of Mramorovo, quite gentle road at first brings us to some houses in the settlement Strmca, where at the smaller crossroad we continue slightly left. Next follows few minutes of walking on an asphalt road which leads us through panoramic meadows, from which a view opens up that reaches all the way to Snežnik. In Mramorovo pri Lužarjih we continue in the direction of village Kotel, behind the last house in Mramorovo road loses an asphalt covering. Further, we walk on a macadam road, by which there are blazes of European footpath E6. When after few minutes macadam road towards Kotel turns a little to the left, we continue straight on a cart track, on which continues European footpath. The path ahead leads us partly through the forest, and partly over ample meadows of plateau Bloška planota, and in doing so at first we cross the stream Blatni potok, and later also Runarščica. Soon after the crossing of Runarščica from the left joins the path from the settlement Runarsko. On some next, and on previous crossings as well we follow the signs of European footpath E6, which brings us almost to the lake Bloško jezero, which path E6 bypasses on the left side.
