Path description:
From the starting point, we return a little back, and then at the smaller hamlet we notice signs for circular path on Osolnik, which point us on a side road which by the entrance into the forest changes into a cart track. Next follows at first gentle ascent by the stream Mavški graben, and then the path becomes steeper, and stream more scenic. Higher over a small bridge we cross the stream, after that from a gully we pass on a slope. A few minutes of ascent through the forest follows, and then by the edge of the meadow, where on the left we already see the peak of Osolnik, the path turns right in the forest, where for some time entirely flattens. Next follows a short moderate ascent, and then we reach the road, where we join the path from Sora.
We continue left to the nearby crossroad, where at the religious symbol footpath on Osolnik branches off to the right, and we continue straight, on the left road in the direction of log cabin Osovnik. Soon after the crossroad we step out of the forest and for some time we continue with nice views and without large changes in altitude. After the crossing of a shorter lane of a forest we ascend on a smaller saddle, where there are sutuated some houses.
We continue straight downwards (right top of Osolnik), and then we go on first crossroad left to the near log cabin Osovnik, to which we have only few 10 strides of walking.
