You can park safely in front of the level crossing. The railway station is on the other side of the line and a little further to the right.

Path description:
Follow the asphalt road along the stream towards the settlement of Zagaja pri Ponikvi. After one and a half kilometres, the asphalt surface turns to macadam and you follow it through the forest. Soon you will reach a small settlement of houses and, if well marked, continue through the yard of one of the homesteads onto a meadow path. The grass path becomes a forest path and then leads along several ponds and through the forest to a chapel. From the chapel, continue through Razbor, to the left, and shortly under the road viaduct, where you cross a small watercourse, cross over to the other side of the motorway. Continue across the meadow, through the farmyard of the homestead and by the wooden horse corral reach the more concrete Vodulee. From the flat part of Vodul, there is a climb along an asphalt road and then along narrower paths surrounded by vineyards/walled houses. Higher up, you reach a crossroads and after a good hundred metres go right and soon you will see the Church of St Ursula and the home of the Dramlje mountaineers in the former forestry.
