Access to starting point:
On the Adriatic main road from Dubrovnik towards Cavtat 50 meters before the turn-off for Cavtat we turn left in the direction of Pridvorje (11 km). We follow the road to the settlement Pridvorje. By the end of the settlement, we turn left in the direction of Kuna (5 km). We follow steep zig zag road to the settlement Kuna Konavoska. We park at the sign, which marks the beginning of the settlement or at an appropriate place by the road.
Path description:
From the settlement sign, we follow the road to houses in the village Kuna. We go past the information board of the mountain path. Behind the house with the house number 18 we go right on the stairs, where we start following the blazes. The path is well marked, easy and it is slowly ascending in hairpin turns. At the marked spot, it splits into two directions. For the ascent, I recommend the shorter, steeper path (faded sign "vrh"), and for the return the less steep path. Both paths higher join. On the path we go past the seven crosses and two information boards of local fauna. Closer as we are to the summit, nicer is the view on all sides.
