Path description:
From the starting point, take the road in the direction of Solčava, Podolševa and Logarska dolina, and the mountain signboard, which used to be next to the road signs, is now hidden nearby. The path initially leads us past the Šumel homestead, before the next houses go slightly right on cart track, which crosses a meadow into a forest and begins to climb cross-country. There is a cross-climb for a few minutes and then cart track lays down and even drops gently a little further on. After a short descent, another cart track is reached, and we follow it to the right, continuing straight on at a couple of forks. When you reach a wooden cross, turn sharp right and continue eastwards across the slopes. There are a few small forks where we go straight ahead, and cart track turns back in a semicircle to the west on an indistinct ridge. Here the path leads out of the woods, and the Church of St James is only a short walk away, crossing two grazing fences.
