Pešćine - Televrina

Access to starting point:
From highway Rupa - Rijeka or Zagreb - Rijeka we drive towards Rijeka, and from there we follow the signs for island Krk. When the highway ends, we descend to Krk Bridge. On island Krk we then follow the signs for island Cres and Lošinj and ferry port Valbiska. At the mentioned port we then go with the ferry to the settlement Merag on island Cres (126 kunas – July 2020). On island Cres we then follow the signs for Mali Lošinj. In the settlement Osor through a smaller bridge we reach island Lošinj. We still follow the main road, near the settlement Nerezine at first a road branches off to the right towards the settlement Halmac. We few hundred meters still continue on the main road and then signs for Pešćine point us to the right on a narrower and ascending road. We follow this road to a smaller parking lot by the road where there is also beginning of the footpath. At the beginning of the path there are also an information board and signposts for Televrina and Sveti Nikola.

Path description:
At the starting point signs for Sveti Nikola and Televrina point us on a footpath. The path at first runs through the low forest and it is slightly ascending by a stone fence. Further, the path turns a little to the left and occasionally the views start opening up towards the sea. The path is then for some time ascending diagonally on a slope with a little less trees and consequently with even better view. A little higher, the path brings us into again a little more dense forest where we get to the resting place named Počivalica Farbecof. Here by the path, there are also some benches.
The path here turns to the right and is then for quite some time ascending through the forest from which occasionally still beautiful views opening up towards the settlement Nerezine and island Cres. On a well-marked path we then continue all the way to the marked crossing a little below the top of Sveti Nikola.
To the left, there is only a short ascent to the top of Sveti Nikola where there is also a chapel. In case if we also visit the mentioned chapel we then return to the crossing and then we continue in the direction towards the peak Televrina.
From the crossing, we at first descend a little and then follows an ascent by the ridge from which a view opens up also on the western side. The path then leads us past the vantage point named »Vatreni pogled« where there is also a bench. We are still ascending by bushes and low trees and the path soon brings us on a macadam road where there is another crossing.
Right on the road there is only few meters to the transmitter, left downwards leads the footpath towards Vela Jama, and we continue straight and we slightly descend on the macadam road. After few ten meters we again come to a marked crossing.
Here we leave the macadam road which leads downwards towards the mountain hut and forward towards the settlement Osor and we go left on a footpath towards the top of Televrina. The path further mostly runs on the ridge through the low forest, and occasionally beautiful views opening up on surroundings. Such a path, which is mostly slightly ascending then brings us to the top of Televrina.
In the summer months on the path it is very hot, therefore it is recommended to go on this tour very early, it is also necessary to have enough drinks with you.
