Path description:
From the spot, where we've parked, we at first walk to square Trg vstaje, where we notice red hiking signposts, and we go on the road in the direction of Ruška koča, Glažuta and Martnica. A short time we walk on an asphalt road towards Lobnica, and then blazes point us to the left, where we at first ascend among houses, and then the path goes into the forest. After few minutes of the ascent, we get to a viewpoint, from which a nice view opens up on Ruše, surrounding places and Kozjak and by which there are situated three crosses. The path ahead returns into the forest and it ascends to an asphalt road which we follow to the left. Next follows a walk on the asphalt road, where we go past individual houses, and higher we get to a smaller saddle, by which there is a cross Dobnikov križ.
Here we leave the marked path which continues towards Ruška koča na Arehu and we continue sharply to the left on an unmarked cart track (left on the road - homestead Dobnik, straight - Areh). After a short ascent, we reach a wider cart track, and there we continue the ascent. When a little ahead we reach a meadow, the cart track ends, and by the edge of the forest we continue to the nearby fence, where we continue right along the fence on a beaten footpath which takes us into the forest and quickly also on Lorbekov vrh.
