Path description:
On Slovenian side of the saddle Korensko sedlo, just before the first cottage (used to be a restaurant), we will at the end of the parking lot notice a path (ruts), which go through a meadow. Traces soon vanish, and "path" soon brings us to a wire fence by which we ascend to a smaller stream, which in dry days dries up. We continue the ascent by the mentioned small stream (terrain is in parts quite overgrown), and then suddenly relatively nice footpath appears, which starts ascending towards the right. We continue the ascent on the mentioned footpath which through the forest, in numerous zig-zags brings us to a forest road.
We follow the road to the left, but only good 5 strides, and then we notice a footpath which ascends above the road and continues through a dense forest. Ahead occasionally a little poorly visible footpath which continues through the forest, higher brings us to a clearing, where we also step on the border ridge. From here to the top of Jerebikovec, we have only few 10 strides of easy walking.
From Jerebikovec we continue on a well visible footpath which starts descending on the border ridge towards the northeast. A pleasant path which runs on and by the narrow border clearing, after approximately 20 minutes of descent brings us to a saddle Rekaršica, on which there is a smaller shepherd hut (hut on the Austrian side).
