Continue past the Mekinje monastery, the Mekinje branch primary school, and then turn right a little after the Zduša settlement towards the Brezje nad Kamnikom settlement.

Continue through Godič, and before the end of the settlement turn left towards Brezija, Vodice and Kršič. A little further on, go left at the stop sign and then climb up to Brezje nad Kamnikom, where the route described above begins.

Path description:
From the beginning of the settlement, cross the asphalt road, which offers beautiful views, and in the middle of the settlement, take a sharp right in the direction of the LO40 cycle path. The path continues past a few houses, and after the settlement the road becomes macadam and turns into a forest. There is a steeper climb through the forest, and at a few small junctions we continue along the wider road. Higher up, the road leads past a picnic area with two signs, and a little further on, the signs for Vovar direct us right to cart track, and from cart track we go a little further to the right at the very beginning on an unmarked path that climbs steeply on the north-western slopes of Vovar. The path continues gradually to the western slopes, but is still quite steep. There are two cart tracks to cross, the second of which is marked Vovar to help us find our way, and the gradually less steep track leads to a small crossroads, where we go left. There is some easy walking and the path leading along the north-eastern ridge of Vovar joins us from the left.
Go right here and, after a few steps of further walking, you will come to the registration box and the wishing bell on Vovar.
