Path description:
From the settlement Plave we continue on the asphalt road in the direction of Paljevo. The path at first leads past few houses, and then it quickly brings us to the left hairpin turn, where on a smaller building there is NOB monument. We continue on quite a panoramic road, and past the bench it brings us to the right hairpin turn, where in the direction of straight continues a footpath on Prižnica (survey point 383), and we continue right, further on the road. Further, we for some time cross the slopes towards the right, and then a little after the crossing of a torrent stream in a zig zag road turns sharply left. From the road, on which we still walk a nice view opens up towards Korada and Prižnica. And when the road from slopes almost passes on more plain terrain, on the right side we notice a cart track and next to it unofficial signs for Kuk.
Here first path branches off to the right on Kuk, and we continue on the road, on which we soon get to few houses in the settlement Paljevo. We continue on the asphalt road which crosses a lane of a forest, and when the forest ends, before the route of a power line the other path branches off to the right on Kuk (also the path on Vodice and Sveta Gora).
We continue on the asphalt road, on which we quickly get to the next hamlet, where we notice signs for Sveta Gora, which pointing to the right, and we continue left on the road which leads towards the hunting cottage and church of St. Kvirin. At the next crossroad, few minutes higher we go slightly left (right hunting cottage LD Anhovo on Paljevo) on the road which loses an asphalt covering. The road continues through the forest, where from the right joins also the path from Deskle, and after a minute or two of additional walking, we get to the church of St. Kvirin.
