Path description:
From the starting point at first we walk to footbridge Gruberjeva brv, which is located directly by the crossroad of road Roška cesta and street Streliška ulica. On the other side of canal Gruberjev prekop we reach the road Hradeckega cesta, which at the marked pedestrian crossing we carefully cross, and then we steeply ascend on stairs. Higher, we reach the steep road, on which we ascend past few more houses, and then we can continue on the road, or slightly left, on a parallel forest path. Higher both paths join, and then on the road we get to its end near the observatory Golovec.
From the end of the road, we continue straight on a wide cart track in the direction of the inn Orle. A gently sloping cart track ahead for some time steeply ascends, and then continues without large changes in altitude, and mostly is slightly descending. Few minutes later, we cross a macadam road, and behind it we reach Trail of remembrance and comradeship, which we follow to the left. On the mentioned path, we walk through the forest, and at the crossings we follow the signs for Orle. When we leave Trail of remembrance and comradeship, we continue on a forest path, which quickly splits into two parts.
We continue on the right path (slightly left the peak of Mazovnik 1 minute), which bypasses Mazovnik on the right side. Soon from the left joins the path from the top of Mazovnik, and at the crossings we follow the wider path. After a short descent, we reach a wider cart track which we follow to the right, and then we again follow the signs for Orle. A little further, we reach an asphalt road which leads on Orle, and we cross it and we continue left, on a cart track which runs a little right from the asphalt road. We soon return on the road, and there in few minutes we get to the inn Gostilnica Orle, from which a view opens up a little.
