Path description:
From the starting point, we continue on the left road (right Slavkov dom 1 minute), from there we go quickly left on a marked path in the direction of Jeterbenk, Katarina and Grmada. At first, we are gently ascending on a cart track which behind the quarry changes into for some time a little steeper footpath. Little ahead we join the other cart track, and we still follow the signs for Jeterbenk and Katarina. A gently sloping path leads us past a cross and oak, and then it again starts ascending a little more. Few minutes we still ascending on a cart track, and then blazes lead us on a forest path, and there we get to a marked crossing.
From the crossing, we continue straight in the direction of Katarina, where by the path, we notice yellow X (with yellow signs is marked Camino de Santiago route). Next follows some diagonal ascent and we get to the next crossing, where the marked path on Jeterbenk (on a ridge) branches off to the right, and we continue straight in the direction of Katarina. When a little ahead we step out of the forest, we step also on a cart track, on the cart track we cross grassy slopes to the juncture with a macadam road. On the road, we ascend a little more, and then we get to a chapel with Mary of seven sorrows, where from the right side, the path from Jeterbenk and the path from the starting point Žlebe joins.
We continue straight on a gently sloping macadam road which leads towards Katarina, before we reach the church of St Katarina a cart track, on which we continue to ascend branches off sharply to the right. Cart track soon makes a u-turn left and past lonely cottage brings us on a smaller ridge, where we leave the cart track and we continue the ascent on a steep and scenic footpath. Higher, we cross a lane of a forest and we reach the peak of Rog, from which a nice view opens up.
