Path description:
From the starting point, we head onto the macadam road in the direction of Ostri vrh and Dom LD Dobrnič. The road first leads us through a strip of forest, after which we arrive at the edge of the nearby meadow. On the other side of the meadow, the road enters the forest, where it first leads past a smaller cave named Jama ob cesti (litter is unfortunately dumped into the 20 m deep and 20 m long cave), and then it ascends gently to moderately. Higher up we arrive at a marked intersection, where we continue left in the direction of Dom LD Dobrnič. After the intersection, the road gradually ascends somewhat more steeply, and then, when a fence appears left above the road, the road gets an asphalt surface. A few minutes higher, the marked path from Dom Frata also joins from the right, we continue straight and arrive at Dom LD Dobrnič in one minute of further walking.
The description and pictures refer to the condition in 2015 (November).

Trip can be extended to: Dom Frata , Ostri vrh (above Globodol) ( 15 min)
