Path description:
From the parking lot, take the steep cart track towards Lovrenec. The steepness soon gives way and the path leads to a crossroads where the path to the church Sveti Lovrenc branches off to the right. We continue on the lower dirt track, which again climbs steeply and after a 15-minute walk from the car leads us to our home in Lovrenec. At the hut we continue along the path towards Storžič. After a few steps, the path leads us out of the forest and onto the meadows below the church. The church Sveti Lovrenc is reached in a few minutes on foot through the meadow.
