Path description:
We begin the hike at Tourist farm Žurej-Ječovo. Through a nice valley Javorska dolina, where according to folk tradition they planted the first potato in Slovenia, we cross river Voglajna, and we turn left into the forest. The marked path leads us past the watering place. We continue through the forest, where with some luck we can find a lot of species of mushrooms. We get to the first harder ascent: »Kurčev hrib«. This part of the path is especially breathtaking in spring, in the time of a traditional hike. Next follows a descent, and the path brings us to »Grofov štant«, where we join the steep, demanding path. The steep path is equipped with steel cables, iron spikes and numerous stairs. The path crosses numerous rocks, which with its grandeur add a very special charm to the path.
