Access to the starting point:
Leave the Gorenjska motorway at exit Kranj East, then follow the signs for Šenčur. In the centre of Šenčur, where the main road turns slightly left, we turn slightly right onto the Velesovo road. Šenčur soon ends, and we turn left towards Velesovo after about 2 km from the end of the settlement. We continue on the main road through Velesovo and follow it to the Velesovo fire house and shop, where the route described above begins.
Path description:
From the fire station, walk to the main road Visoko - Cerklje na Gorenjskem and cross it carefully. Continue along the side road leading north to the north-east, and follow it to the last farm where the asphalt ends. Continue past the goat house, and at the edge of the forest the road first turns slightly to the left and then right into the forest, where the first markings appear. A little further on, the road changes to cart track, where at a few crossroads follow the markings, and when you reach the ridge of Štorski hill, where you join the path from Adergas, continue left and quickly reach the marked crossroads by the chapel.
Continue right in the direction of the path past the benches (the path past the shterna on the left) along cart track, which gradually begins to climb moderately. Higher up, the path leads us to three successive benches (benches), from which we have a beautiful view of Gorenjska. Cart track then passes into the forest, turns into a rather steep footpath, which, however, is quickly laid and leads us out of the forest onto a grassy slope, from which we have a beautiful view towards the Kočna massif, Grintovec and Kalški greben, and over which we walk in a few minutes to the asphalt and then to the excursion farm Pr Mežnarju.
From the farm, continue along the path, which climbs up a steep grassy slope and then through a lane of a forest. After a good 5 minutes of further walking, you reach Štefanja gora, where the church of St. Stephen stands.
