From Ljubljana, take the motorway towards Gorenjska and turn out at the exit for Vodice. Continue on the main road all the way to Kamnik, where you follow the signs for Celje / Gornji Grad / Kamn. Bistrica. The road will soon flatten out and lead us right next to a forest and a steep hill on our right. There will be two successive semaphore-controlled crossroads. At the first one, continue straight ahead, and at the second one turn left for Kamn. Bistrica and Velika planina. The road will lead you to a roundabout, at which you take the first exit. Continue driving along the main road for a longer distance, past Strahovica, Črna pri Kamniku, Podlom, Kališča, Podvolovjek, to the village of Luče, where you turn left at the crossroads, towards Solčava. The road will then lead us to Solčava, and we will continue along it to Podolševa. Here, look out for a major fork, where a signpost for Sv. Duh will direct you to turn left. Continue along the road, which crosses a larger bridge and leads to the Rogar farm, where you park.

Continue on foot along the track behind the farm. The path soon turns into the forest. From here on it starts to climb a little more and soon reaches a macadam road, which we just cross and continue walking through the forest, this time on flatter terrain. When you reach the signpost marking the national border, the path starts to climb steeply again and turns several times. There are educational signs along the way, indicating that we are getting closer to our destination. When the path turns out of the forest, it lays down a little and in a few minutes it leads to Potočka zijalka.
