Route description:
From the starting point, we walk to the mountain signposts, and from there we continue along Smuška cesta in the direction of Smuk. At first, we walk on an asphalt road, along which we quickly arrive at some houses. Here the road slightly descends and brings us to signposts for the church of St. Primož, which direct us slightly left onto a footpath that continues through the forest. After a short ascent, we step onto a cart track, which we follow to the right to the nearby church of St. Primož and Felicijan.
From the church, we continue in the direction of Semenič and Smuk, along the path that continues through the forest and is further marked with the letter S in a white circle. The path ahead ascends gently to moderately and after approximately 20 minutes of further walking brings us to the forested Semenič.
