Higher, the road flattens and we get to the upper edge of the mountain pasture Ribenska planina, from where a nice view opens up on the mountain pasture.
Here the road turns slightly to the right, and from there even more to the right a road branches off towards Kravja dolina. We continue straight and we start slightly descending, and from a wide road we soon go slightly left on a side road which semicirculary starts descending by the edge of the mountain pasture Ribenska planina. Lower, the road flattens and we quickly get to the shepherd hut on the mountain pasture Ribenska planina.
