A little further, we continue straight (right Koritnice and Mašun), and then Knežak soon ends and we get to the settlement Bač, through which we follow the main road. Near the church, the main road turns right, and we are driving there for approximately 400 meters and then at the crossroad by a smaller religious symbol (cross), we continue on the most left road. We continue driving on a narrower asphalt road which leads us also past individual houses, and when the asphalt ends, we park on an appropriate place by the road.

Path description:
From the starting point, we continue on the road, by which we've parked, and at first, it leads by the foot of the hill Tuščak (786 meters), and after crossing a small valley Bredni dol, the road passes on slopes of the hill Plesišča (906 meters), from where a nice view opens up on surrounding hills and Vremščica and Nanos at the back. Higher, the road passes into the forest and turns to the left, and only a little further with some caution left from the road we notice a nice viewpoint, from which a view opens up on village Bač, Tuščak, Vrh, Šilen Tabor... A little further, the forest gets thinner and the road brings us to a crossroad, where we continue on a slightly left road which after the crossroad starts descending (on the right road we can get to Mašun).
From the crossroad follows few minutes of descent, and then the road at first flattens, and then it gradually starts moderately ascending through the forest. Through the forest, we are for quite some time ascending on the macadam road, and when we reach the marked path Jurišče - Kršičevec, we continue right in the direction of Kršičevec.
From the spot, when we leave the road, we continue the ascent on a moderately steep cart track which quickly brings us to the natural attraction, namely a linden tree with multiple trunks. Higher, the path quickly flattens, and the forest starts to get thinner. With nice views on surrounding hills we get to a bench, where the marked path turns left and after few 10 strides splits into two parts.
We continue straight in the direction of Kršičevec (right cave Mrzla jama and Kršičevec past the cave Mrzla jama), and then the path leads into a lane of a forest, where we reach 1000 meters of altitude. The forest quickly ends, and then with views, which reach all the way to the Alps, we get to the panorama board, from which a nice view opens up on all sides.
From the panorama board, we continue slightly right, we slightly descend, and then we ascend to the summit of Kršičevec, where there is an inscription box with a stamp and inscription book.
