Access to the starting point:
From the Gorenjska motorway, exit Kranj east, Kranj or Šenčur, drive towards Jezersko. When you reach the village Tupaliče, leave the main road and continue driving to the left towards Preddvor. After crossing the Kokra River, Tupaliče ends and we arrive in Preddvor, where we park in the large macadam parking lot in front of Jelovica hiše d. o. o.
Path description:
From the parking lot, cross the Kokra River back to Tupaliče, and when you reach the main road, continue right towards Kranj. Walk along the main road until you reach the Jaka bakery, where you turn slightly left onto a slightly narrower road. When you get above the Logo petrol station, turn left at the crossroads in the route Možjanca. The way ahead takes you past a few more houses, then before the last house, which is in front of the sign, leave the road leading to Možjanca and continue left between the houses. After the house on the right, you will then see the start of cart track, which turns into a forest and then climbs for some time parallel to the asphalt road. Higher up, cart track turns slightly to the left and leads us along the power line into the valley between Vrtičnik (682 m) on the left and Vrhe Hill (689 m) on the right, where we reach a crossroads at a slightly higher altitude, where the path from Potoč joins.
Continue right here, and at the next crossroads take the left fork cart track. The trail continues along the edge of the forest, and higher up it leads to the settlement Možjanca, where you first arrive at the Rožmarin Café, and a little further on, if you continue left at the crossroads, to the Church of St Nicholas.
From Možjanca, continue towards Štefanje Gora, where the road leads past a few more houses, and then to a place where a road branches off to the right downhill towards two nearby houses. Continue straight on here, and continue right downhill past the two houses, which you can see under the road. There is some cross-country descent and then you reach a small valley between Veliki vrh (785 m) on the left and Apnišče (739 m) on the right.
When you reach this valley, continue left (Betlehem and Olševek on the right) and climb gently. The cart track, which we follow, turns into a forest path higher up and splits into two parts.
Continue right towards Apnišče (straight ahead Štefanja gora), then at the forks follow the "A" markings, which indicate the way to Apnišče. The forest path climbs a little higher and then quickly leads to the top of Apnišč.
Preddvor - Možjanca 40 minutes, Možjanca - Apnišče 35 minutes.
