Path description:
From the starting point, follow the asphalt road in the direction of Sv. The road immediately starts to climb steeply and leads us past a few places where it is possible to park. A little higher up, a well-trodden but unmarked path branches off to the right, soon returning to the road, and after a few steps you leave it again. There is a slightly longer climb through the woods before returning to the road, which you follow for a few minutes. Higher up, the road turns sharp right, and we leave it a little further on, as we see the continuation of an unmarked path on the left, which continues along the slightly overgrown cart track. A few minutes further on, the path turns right and climbs steeply over a more overgrown part, and above it we join the path leading past the Krmelj-Blek farm.
Continue to the right and follow the wider cart track up to a crossroads, where you reach a waymarked path leading from St Andrew's Church to St Ožbolt's Church.
Continue to the right and follow the road which leads past the NOB memorial and along the edge of the meadow to St Andrew's Church, which offers a fine view.
