When we get to Železniki at first at the crossroad, where the road towards Kropa, Dražgoše and Rudo branches off to the right, we continue straight, and then a little after store Mercator, or opposite of company Niko d.o.o. we continue right in the direction of Podlonk and Prtovč. And immediately after that when we leave the main road, we continue right in the direction of the Forest teaching trail Kres and sports hall Železniki, by which we then also park.

Path description:
From the starting point at the sports hall Železniki we continue in the direction of the Forest teaching trail Kres, where at first over a small bridge we cross the stream Dašnjica, and when about 100 meters ahead we reach the other asphalt road, we continue left, and we walk there a minute or two, or to the spot where on the right we notice a bigger information board of Forest teaching trail Kres.
On the part, where before the information board of Forest teaching trail Kres we leave the road, we continue slightly right (sharply right - Hujska over Kres and the correct direction of walking on the forest teaching trail), so that we walk parallel with the road and in the reverse direction of the circular path Kres. We soon go away from the road, and the path is all the time mostly ascending diagonally on slopes of Kres. When we higher reach a small saddle and meadow, we continue slightly left (right - Kres and the path back to an asphalt road), on the path which returns into the forest. On the other side of the meadow, we start ascending on and by the indistinct ridge of Hujska, and the path leads us through a dense forest. Higher, the path becomes steeper (the steep part we can avoid right on a cart track), and when from the right, the mentioned cart track joins, it flattens a little. When both paths join, the cart track ends, and we continue straight, on a moderately steep path, on which in few minutes of additional walking, we reach the peak of Hujska.
