Access to the starting point:
Leave the Gorenjska motorway at exit Kranj East, then follow 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 left in the direction of the path past the shterna (right path past the benches) along the path which continues for some time along the gently sloping cart track. Cart track soon turns into a wide and slightly steeper footpath, which joins another wider cart track higher up. Continue on a moderate ascent through the forest and the marked path from the village Olševek joins from the left. Just above this crossroads we come to the "stterna", where the path turns sharp right and after a further short climb leads us to a small pass, where the next crossroads are located, with direction signs for Olševek, Adergas and Možjanca.
Continue on the right path, where there are no direction signs, but there are markers along the way. The path continues moderately up an undistinguished ridge, from which it almost imperceptibly transitions to a fairly steep slope. A little further on the path splits, and we choose the right path (the straight path leads past agritourism and is slightly longer), which in a few minutes of further walking we climb up to the Church of St Stephen at the top of Štefanje gora.
