Path description:
From the starting point, we continue on the left road in the direction of farms Hribernik, Kogovšek, Bernik... (right Selo, Polhov Gradec and St. Ožbolt), where we go at first past few more houses, and then we are ascending by the stream Kozjekov graben. A little further, the path towards Guzelj (prodaja kmečkih strojev) branches off to the right, and few minutes higher also right road towards the farm Vodnik.
We continue right towards the farm Vodnik (straight farm Kozjek) to which we get to on an ascending asphalt road. We continue through the yard of farm Vodnik, and then before the hayrack we continue left on a cart track which crosses meadows towards the left. Cart track quickly splits, and we choose right, which starts ascending. After a short ascent, the cart track turns to the right, and then with nice views brings us to the nearby transmitters, where the cart track once again splits. We choose the left cart track which passes into the forest and ascends diagonally towards the left, and after few minutes it joins a little wider cart track which we follow to the right. Next follows a diagonal ascent towards the right, and before we reach the indistinct ridge, we choose right, dead-end branch of cart track (possible is also to continue on a cart track). When after few steps, the cart track ends, on a worse footpath we ascend on a ridge, where the footpath becomes more distinct, and also frequent blazes show up. Few minutes we are ascending on a forested ridge and then the path turns right and after a shorter crossing joins a better beaten path which leads past the church of St. Jedrt.
A little further, the marked path gets very close to the cart track, and then it goes away and leads us on and by northwestern ridge of Tošč. Higher, the path leads through few shorter panoramic parts, and in a moderate ascent, we reach the highest peak of Polhograjsko hribovje.
