Continue along the old regional road towards Ljubljana, and we follow it to Kranj, where we turn right towards Besnice, just after the bridge over the Sava River. Continue through Rakovica and Spodnja Besnica to Zgornja Besnica, where, at the sign for the end of Zgornja Besnica, we park in a convenient place next to a number of direction signs.

Path description:
From the starting point, walk along the main road to the hamlet of Nova vas (direction Kranj), where the signs for the Šum waterfall direct you sharp left (from the route of Kranj, right). Continue along the descending asphalt road, which takes you past the Jawa bar to the place where the asphalt ends. From here, continue along the wide cart track for another 10 m, and then the signs for the Šum waterfall direct you sharp left, onto a beautifully maintained path. The path ahead first descends steeply to an information board, then turns left into the forest, where it leads us above the waterfall. From here on, follow the well-guarded path, which will take you under the waterfall in a few minutes.
