Praprotno - Sveti Tomaž above Praprotno

Access to the starting point:
a) First drive to Škofja Loka, then continue driving to Železniki. When the road Škofja Loka - Železniki crosses the Selška Sora River over the bridge for the first time, pay attention, because just after the bridge you park on the right side of the road.
b) From Tolmin or Most na Soči, drive to Podbrdo, then continue to Železniki and Škofja Loka. Just about 100 m after Praprotno, just before crossing the Selška Sora River, you will see a large gravel parking lot on the left side of the road, where you park.

Path description:
From the starting point, walk along the main road for a few 10 m towards Železniki, and then the signs for Praprotno and Lubnik direct you to the left onto a narrower local road, which will quickly take you to the village of Praprotno. Through the village we follow the few signs, and the path, which is always on the road, leads us over the slopes, which are at first still open to the view, and from which we have a beautiful view of Lubnik and Planica. The asphalt road continues through the forest for a short distance and then climbs over a grassy hayfield, over which we can enjoy increasingly beautiful views. The way ahead takes you through the lower part of the village of Sveti Tomaž, where you turn left at a crossroads and then continue climbing along the increasingly scenic road. With views of Storžič, Kočni, Grintovec and other peaks in the Kamnik and Savinja Alps, we then walk to the upper part of the village, where we step onto a viewing ridge.
When you reach the ridge, turn right (left Lubnik) and follow the unmarked path to the right, which leads you past residential houses to the meadows, over which you can walk to the Church of St. Thomas in 2 minutes.
