Path description:
At the end of the parking lot, we continue left over a small bridge, then on the right side of hayrack and ahead on a beaten footpath which goes into the forest. Through the forest, we at first steeply ascend, and then the path flattens a little and continues on and by the ridge. Higher, the footpath splits on gentle and steep, a little ahead they cross eachother, and on the ridge of Močerad they join again.
Further moderately steep path then from the ridge Močerad passes on the ridge of Vidmovec, where it also brings us out of the forest. Here on the right side, on a cart track we bypass the nearby house, and when we step on the road, we follow it to the right. Few minutes we walk on the road, and then we go left on a footpath which only a little further crosses also a little wider road.
When we step on a wider road we continue left (straight on a footpath top of Osolnik), and after few minutes we get to a crossroad, where we join the marked path from Sora.
From the crossroad at the religious symbol marked path on Osolnik branches off to the right, and we continue right, on the 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.
