From the parking lot, by which we notice signs for path "Pot za srce in dušo", we return to the main road which on the pedestrian crossing we carefully cross, and then we continue left towards Marezige. After few steps, we leave the main road and we continue right on a side road which ascends among few houses. Further, we follow the signs, which are in the shape of red and blue line, and a little ahead those point us to the left on a cart track which quickly changes into a footpath, and on a footpath we reach an asphalt road, on which we descend to the main road Vanganel - Marezige (to here possible also on the main road), which we carefully cross and we continue on a side road to the nearby stream Bavški potok, where the path splits.
