Path description:
From the church, we continue on the macadam road towards the hamlet Na Kmetih, and before the houses, we go on the left road which lightly ascends through the pasture. Above the pasture, the road passes into the forest, where it quickly flattens and then descends a little to a larger meadow, which we bypass on the left side. When the smaller plain ends, we choose a slightly right cart track which starts ascending diagonally and a little higher returns into the forest. Few minutes of ascent through the forest follows, and higher we reach the ridge, where we join the marked path from Kropa, and from the right also an unmarked path from Brezovica joins.
We continue left towards Jamnik, and the path leads us on a forested ridge and after a short ascent, we reach an indistinct peak of Berigla. Higher, the path from the ridge gradually passes on a slope and splits.
The path branches off to the left towards Jamnik, and we go left few steps ahead at the marked crossing, from which we continue on a steep path in the direction of the mountain pasture Vodiška planina. Next follows few minutes of a steep ascent, and then we cross an asphalt road.
On the other side of the road, we continue on a marked cart track, and from there we soon go right on a footpath which after few minutes returns on a cart track. Next follows a relatively short ascent on a cart track, where we make few hairpin turns, and then the cart track narrows into a mountain path. During the further ascent for some time a view opens up a little towards Jamnik, and after a smaller religious symbol, the footpath widens into a cart track, and it brings us to a crossing, where from the left the path from Jamnik joins.
We follow the signs for Vodice, and we quickly get to a crossing, where the path branches off to the left to Tehnika Meta.
Here we leave the path towards the mountain pasture Vodiška planina and we continue slightly left on a footpath which past the storage in approximately 5 minutes of additional walking, brings us to Partisan cyclostyle Tehnika Meta.
