B) We drive to Železniki, and then we follow the main road towards Škofja Loka. When we get to Škofja Loka, we will on the left side of the road notice company Modri val, where the described path begins. At the starting point, there aren't any parking spots for mountaineers.
Path description:
From the store, car bodywork and car painting Modri val, we continue on a local road which runs through the settlement Vešter. A little further, at the smaller crossroad we continue left, so that newer apartments we bypass on the left side. After the parking lot, where the parking is allowed only for residents at the address Vešter 20a and 20b, the asphalt ends, and the macadam road a little further on the right side bypasses the last house. When we are right from the mentioned house we go on the left cart track which continues through a small valley, and after the transformer we go once again slightly left, on even a little narrower cart track. From the mentioned cart track which crosses the meadow, after few steps we go sharply left, on a beaten unmarked footpath which passes into the forest. Few minutes we are ascending on a forested footpath, and then we reach the cart track which we follow to the left. A little further, we go from the cart track slightly right on a beaten path, which is further ascending diagonally, and it leads us also below some shorter overhangs. Higher there are few more crossings, where we follow the better beaten path, and when the path flattens, we for some time join a worse road which we follow to the left. From the road already after few steps, at woodpile we go right, and at the first crossing after wood storage, we choose the left path. Further, we are at first moderately, and then steeply ascending through the forest, and at the crossings we still follow the better beaten footpath. Higher, the path flattens and splits.
We continue left on a slightly worse beaten path (straight - hunting cottage and church of the Holy Cross on Križna gora), on which in few minutes we ascend on a forested peak.
