Path description:
From the starting point, we go on a footpath in the direction of the mountain hut Mengeška koča, Dobeno and the ridge path on Rašica. The path at first moderately ascends through the forest, then crosses a forest road, and then leads us through numerous crossings, where we carefully follow the blazes. The marked path further several times crosses downhill mountain biking trail, therefore some additional caution isn't nuisance. The path which all the time runs through the forest, higher flattens and a little further joins the ridge path from the mountain hut Mengeška koča na Gobavici.
We follow the mentioned path right in the direction of Rašica, where we at first ascend on an indistinct Debeli hrib, from which we quickly descend to a forest road. We walk on the road to the first left turn, and then we continue straight in the direction of the ridge path on Rašica. Next follows few more crossings, where we follow the signs for Rašica, and the path which is mainly gently to moderately ascending, after some time brings us to a lookout tower on Rašica.
On our own responsibility we can ascend on the tower, from which a nice view opens up, otherwise we can continue to the nearby mountain hut.
