First pass the Prevc furniture salon, then the turn-off to the farm at Brojan, and on past the Cegnar and Zakotnik nurseries, after which the rather narrow road through the village widens slightly. After the village, there is a short descent and the path leads past a large parking lot next to the Slovenian army firing range. Behind the parking lot, cross the small stream Ušovca, and the road passes into the forest and starts to climb moderately. Follow the asphalt road, then quickly arrive in the village Crngrob, where the church and a few houses are passed on the left. Continue through the forest, where the road leads you past the Red Sign, and when the forest ends, you drive between fields. At a nearby crossroads, turn right and pass the Church of St Ursula to the centre of Pevno, where you will see the first signs. There are no parking spaces at the starting point.

Path description:
From the place where you see the first markings, the path leads along a side road that splits into two parts at the hydrant. Continue along the lower road, which gradually turns into cart track, which turns right and climbs to the edge of the forest. At the edge of the forest, take the right-hand path, which is also marked, and the path passes into the forest, where it returns to the wider cart track at a slightly higher level. Continue along the wooded cart track, which climbs quite gently at first and then moderately. At the crossroads follow the markings for Planica. Higher up, cart track becomes steeper and transitions to a shorter steep slope. Above this part, the wider cart track is reached, leading out of the forest onto the grassy slope below Planica. With fine views towards the valley and the Alps, you quickly reach a small settlement where you continue straight ahead at the crossroads, and a few 10 steps before the road sign marking the end of the settlement, you continue slightly left on the cart track, which climbs past a sign.
From the sign, there is a climb of about 10 minutes and the path, partly through the forest, leads to the Church of St. Gabriel the Archangel, which is situated at the top.
