Path description:
From Sora, we continue along the road leading to the village Topole (Katarina), and we only walk along it to the nearby Prima filtri company. Here, red mountain signs direct us left over a bridge over the Ločnice river, and we continue left again just after the bridge, this time on the ascending cart track. After only a few metres, cart track turns sharp right and passes into a dense forest. Continue along the marked cart track, which crosses several torrential streams and turns into a steep footpath higher up. Higher up, the path curves slightly to the left and joins the broken-down tractor track logging trail, where it also dips slightly. The path then leads to a cross, after which it first joins a macadam road and then an asphalted road, which it follows to the right. Continue on the asphalt road, which leads past the NOB monument to the upper part of the village of Studenčice. Here the road starts to climb steeply and then it is laid and leads us past an abandoned quarry to the village of Tehovec. We continue our ascent, again on a more scenic slope, and we follow the asphalted road all the way to the church of St Florijan in the aforementioned village.
From the church we continue along the asphalted road for some time, and then we reach a small pass from where we continue along a wide macadam road. Follow the road for a short distance, then the signs point slightly left onto a path that goes into the forest and around the top of Sveti Jakob on the left. After a few minutes of crossing, we re-emerge from the forest and join the path coming from the village of Topol. Here we take a sharp right and follow the wide cart track for some 10 steps, then the signs direct us to the right onto a steep footpath which, along the edge of the forest, will take us in a few minutes to a viewpoint with the Church of St James.
