Path description:
From the parking lot, we walk to the beginning of the village, where at the crossroad by NOB monument we continue left and then at the next crossroad slightly right in the direction of Ratitovec (path via Razor). We continue among houses, and then the path leads on a cart track, on which we are diagonally ascending towards the right. Higher from the right also the path from the hunting cottage Na Toli joins, and at the crossings we go in the direction of Ratitovec. Further, we are again ascending diagonally towards the right, and the path for some time leads on new forest road which a little higher we leave and we continue the ascent on a marked footpath. A little higher traces of new road or cart track end, and in a moderate ascent, we come out of the forest into cirque Razor, where there is a marked crossing.
From the cirque we continue on the right path in the direction of Kosmati vrh, mountain pasture Klom and mountain hut Krekova koča via Vratca (left normal path to Krekova koča on Ratitovec), on which we for a short time ascend steeper and with nice views, we quickly reach the saddle Vratca, where signposts point us slightly to the right in the direction of the mountain pasture Klom (left Gladki vrh and Krekova koča, straight mountain pasture Pečana, sharply right Kosmati vrh). The path ahead leads us past a bunker from the time of Rapallo border, and then through a lane of a forest we reach the next new road which we reach right at the grazing fence, which goes across the road. We follow the road to the left and then we quickly get to the next marked crossing, where another path branches off to the right, which leads towards Kosmati vrh (mentioned path on most maps isn't drawn), and we continue left on a marked footpath or cart track in the direction of the mountain pasture Klom. We short time continue on a cart track, and then blazes point us to the left on a footpath, on which in a gentle and later in a moderate descent we descend to shepherd cottages on the mountain pasture Klom.
