Path description:
From the starting point, we go on a side road in the direction of Osolnik, log cabin Osovnik and mountain hut Dom na Govejku. At first, we are ascending on a macadam road, from which soon mountain path on Govejek branches off to the left, and we continue on the road to the right turn, where after crossing of the stream Govejski graben we continue left on a marked mountain path. For some time we are ascending by the stream and then the path turns slightly left and passes on a slope. Next follows few minutes of a steep ascent, and then we get to a marked crossing, where we continue right towards Osolnik (left Govejek). After a shorter gentle crossing we get to a macadam road which we reach at the crossroad, and from the crossroad we continue on a cart track in the direction of Osolnik. We soon return on the road, and we leave it again, when signs for log cabin Osovnik point us to the right, on a footpath, on which we quickly ascend to the mentioned log cabin.
At the log cabin we step on a macadam road, on which in few 10 strides we descend to the road which we left before the log cabin and we continue walking right to a smaller saddle, where we continue left. We ascend on the road past a hayrack, and then before the last house we go slightly right on an ascending cart track, on which with nice views, we continue all the way to the nearby church and to the top, which is situated a little behind the church.
