Path description:
At the beginning of the parking lot marked footpath branches off to the left, which starts ascending through the forest. After few minutes, we cross an asphalt road which leads towards Osolnik (to here possible also on the road, if we parked on the upper part of the parking lot), and we continue on a marked path. We continue the ascent through the forest, at few smaller crossings we follow the blazes. Higher, the path reaches side ridge, where it flattens and gets very close to an asphalt road. We continue a little right from the road, and the path quickly splits.
We continue slightly left (right Hom 15 minutes) and further we are ascending diagonally on mostly southern slopes of Hom. When a little further we reach indistinct small ridge, from the right joins the path from the peak Hom, and we continue left and a little further we reach an asphalt road. The path continues on the road, and occasionally on a marked footpath which runs right or left from the road. Further a quite gently sloping path then brings us to a crossing, where from the left joins a marked path from Ločnice, and we continue straight to a nearby crossroad and a crossing.
At the crossing, at the religious symbol we finally leave the road and we continue the ascent on a gradually steeper mountain path. A little further from the right joins also unmarked, but well visited path from Gosteče.
Next follows few minutes of a steep ascent on a marked path and we reach the church of St. Mohor and Fortunat on Osolnik, for a nice view it is worth to walk a little further.
