Poljana (Završnica) - Sveti Lovrenc above Zabreznica (on Štengce over Rebr)

Access to the starting point:
From the Ljubljana - Jesenice motorway, first take the Lesce exit, and then take the old road towards Žirovnice and Jesenice at the roundabout. After a few km of driving, pass the crossroads where the road branches off to the right towards the centre of Žirovnica. After crossing the Završnica viaduct, you will come to a right turn-off, which is where you should head (take a sharp right). Immediately afterwards, turn left at a small crossroads, and right at the next crossroads (after 50 m), in the direction of Završnica. After a short descent, the road briefly climbs a little and then flattens out, leading to a point where a macadam road branches off to the left towards Valvasor's home. Park in the new parking lot nearby, next to the reservoir, on the right-hand side of the road.

Path description:
From the parking lot, cross the bridge over the dam of the reservoir and turn far right on the path, which descends a few metres and turns left. Walk along a fairly wide path leading westwards along the northern slope of Rib (Breznik Stove ridge). Soon we come across a larger tunnel in the rock face on our left, and after a short distance a marked left fork with the inscription "over the top by the stengcah". We take this steeper rocky path, which soon leads us to a ridge where we have a view of the villages lying on the other side. The path continues straight ahead, or slightly to the left, then descends slightly through a sparse forest and after a few minutes of further walking leads us to an open area, to a pasture fence. From behind it, continue slightly left uphill on the path which, continuing on a slight ascent, leads us along the grassy, sunny, terraced and well-viewed southern slope of the ridge to the east. The undulating path climbs a little higher behind a small scree slope towards the mid-slope marker (the crucifix), where the path from the village joins us. From here on, follow a slightly wider path, keeping to the slope on the left. A little higher up, you come across a wooden house with benches, past which you continue on the path, which soon afterwards turns sharp left. Further on, the path is also equipped with steps and a fence. After the ascent, after the right turn, there is a crossroads at a wooden man, where we continue slightly to the right (left: impassable part of the path due to fallen trees). There is a short part of the path along the fence and over a small bridge, and after a few steps of easy walking, we arrive in the vicinity of the church of St. Lawrence, where we have a rest and a nice view. The registration book is located by the wishing bell at the entrance to the church.
