Path description:
From the main road, we go on a macadam path in the direction of Lokvica and Cerje, and the road on which we walk is at first lightly descending. The path with the exception of few turns leads towards the northwest, where we walk on karst terrain, and occasionally we by the path notice tunnels from the time of the first world war. Further, the path branches off to the left, where in the time of the first world war, there was camp Segeti, and we continue straight on a wider macadam road. The path ahead leads us also past a smaller religious symbol, and then from the right joins also the path past the cave Ruska jama.
From the crossing ahead, the road moderately ascends, and when it flattens we already get to Borojevićev prestol, where there are several memorial plaques.
Only a little further approximately 5 minutes long path to cave Pečinka branches off to the left, and we continue straight and we follow the road to the next marked crossing, and from which we go right on a footpath in the direction of Cerje. Next follows a short ascent, and then the path flattens and from the left joins also a footpath which leads past the cave Pečinka. Next follows a shorter walk and we reach an asphalt road which we follow to the right to the nearby parking lot.
From the parking lot follows 5 more minutes of a moderate ascent on the road and we get to the monument on Cerje, from where a beautiful view opens up.
