Soon you will reach a crossroads where the signs for Mojstrana and Vrata will direct you to the left onto the local road. Follow the road past St. Clement's Church and a small ski slope, and then, after the bridge over the Triglav Bistrica, you will reach a crossroads where you continue to the left. A few 10 metres further on, in front of the Mercator shop, turn slightly right and then follow the road to the premises of Sigor d. o. o. (formerly the Metal Equipment Plant (KO-OP) Mojstrana).

Path description:
From the starting point, we continue along the macadam road, which continues alongside the company's buildings, and we walk along it without any change in elevation until we reach a small boulder. From the road, which offers a nice view of Frauenkogel, Borovje, Planica and somewhere else, we continue left into the forest a few 10 metres after the boulder on a beaten but unmarked path. After an initial somewhat exposed area, where you climb straight up, the path turns right and crosses a small ridge on the side. On reaching the ridge, the path turns left and continues along the ridge. The path is quite steep in one part, then goes off the ridge onto a flatter area, where it turns slightly to the left. This is followed by a cross-climb to the main ridge, where the path becomes quite scenic and exposed in places. With views of Mojstrana, Dovje and Karawanks, we gradually gain height, and after a few minutes on the occasionally exposed path, the route leads us to the vegetated headland of Grančišče. From the summit there is a descent and then a short climb to the Grančišče lookout.
