Path description:
From the starting point, we walk to the church of the Holy Three Kings and we continue in the direction of the lake Črno jezero and the path Urškina pot and we quickly get to the nearby ski slope, by which we short time continue, and then we cross it (while the ski slope operates we cross the ski track and ski lift higher - above the cableway and ski slope). The path ahead leads us past the weather station ARSO, and we still follow the blazes, and on connecting ski track towards in few minutes we get to another ski track, which we also cross (by the ski slope upwards - Veliki vrh). Next follows also a crossing of a ski lift and one more ski track, and then the path comes into the forest, where after few minutes of additional walking, we get to the cross, by which there is a learning board of the path Urškina pot. The path ahead slowly descends and it brings us to a marked crossing, where we choose the left path (straight - Šumik and Ruška koča), where we continue in the direction of Osankarica and lake Črno jezero. Further, we are still gently to moderately descending and we follow the blazes. When the descent ends, we get to a crossing near the lake Črno jezero.
We continue straight (left Oplotnica - path via Kos) and in few steps we get to the lake.
We follow the path ahead in the direction of Osankarica, so that we bypass the lake on the right side, and after crossing the stream, the path passes into the forest and continues on a wooden paved path. The path at first continues without large changes in altitude, and after some time it starts visibly descending. The paved path, which in wet is dangerous for slipping we follow all the way to the parking lot near Dom na Osankarici. From the parking lot, we cross the road and we ascend to Dom na Osankarici, which burned down in 2021.
Sveti Trije kralji - lake Črno jezero 0:50, lake Črno jezero - Osankarica 0:15.
