B) From the direction of Moravče: Through Mlinše we continue driving towards Izlake, where we park at Pizzeria Čebelica, which is situated on the left side of the road or on the parking lot of the factory ETI, which is situated 100 meters ahead from the pizzeria.
C) From the direction of Trojane: From Trojane we continue through the village Orehovica, through Izlake, where at the turn-off towards Moravče we go right and we continue driving approximately 300 meters ahead to the parking lot in front of Pizzeria Čebelica or at it.

Route description:
The path is for some time similar to the already described path Krače-Pleše, but with the difference that the starting point is moved to a location with easier parking and that the path over Vežnica runs elsewhere (path Krače-Pleše makes a detour).
At the parking lot (either at the pizzeria or at the parking lot of the factory ETI) we park and continue along the main road in the direction of Mlinše approximately 200 meters, all the way to the crossroad, where signs for Šemnik point us to the left. We follow the asphalt road ahead in the direction of Šemnik. When the asphalt road ascends, on the top of the hill we get to a crossroad, by which stands a wooden signpost towards Sv. Gora. We turn right and follow the road to a group of houses, where blazes point us to the left upwards on a macadam road. We follow this road to a clearing below Pleše and on this path we continue straight upwards along the clearing. The road moderately ascends, and after some time it flattens. Here we slowly start to pay attention to a beaten path, which branches off from the road left upwards. At the turn-off there stands a sign, which points us towards Vežnica. The forest path moderately ascends along the slope and after a few minutes brings us out of the forest, where we step on a macadam road which leads along the fence towards the farm. Here there are fenced deer and if we are quiet, we can also see them. We continue on the road upwards, past the farm until we notice a forest road which below the meadow on Vežnica turns sharply left. We step on this forest road and follow it towards the summit of Vežnica. Here for the first time a view opens up on the Kamnik-Savinja Alps, Menina planina, Golte; in clear weather Triglav is also nicely visible. When we come to the top of Vežnica, we cross a macadam road and turn onto a forest path, which ascends alongside the macadam road. We follow the well-visible blazes ahead upwards, where already after a few minutes we step onto the plateau at the top of Pleše.
