Path description:
From the starting point at the end of Olševko, follow the road into the forest, then after a minute or two walk it splits. Continue along the road on the left (straight ahead Štefanja gora and Apnišče past the shterna), along which you will also see signs for Apnišče. Walk along the road for a while, and you will see some signs for the Olševek trail. At the flat part, the trail branches off to the left and we continue along the road, which turns left at the end of the flat part and starts to climb steeply. The road, which is getting worse, turns right, and we leave it here and continue straight on to cart track, at which we see a marker in the shape of the letter A. The path continues along cart track, which climbs steeply through the forest from time to time, and at crossroads follow the otherwise unmarked path in the direction of Apnišče (the crossroads are mainly marked with the sign Apnišče or the letter A). Higher up, cart track turns into a forest track, which takes you to the summit of Apnišč in a few minutes.
