Path description:
From the starting point, we continue in the direction of the mountain hut Koča na Kamnem griču, and the sign we notice on a tree by the road few 10 strides before the beginning of a cart track. Cart track at first gently ascends into a lane of a forest and then continues without large changes in altitude, partly through the forest, and partly through mowed meadows. Further, the cart track starts moderately ascending, and higher it brings us to a meadow, where the footpath vanishes. Here we continue straight upwards, and when we again step in the forest, also the footpath appears. Before we step into the forest it is worth to turn back, because a nice view opens up, which reaches all the way to Snežnik. In the forest beside the blazes we notice also caption KG (Kamni grič), which confirms, that we are on the right path. When we again step out of the forest we get to the next meadow, where again poorly visible footpath turns left. Next follows a moderate ascent, and then the path returns into the forest, where the path leads us through a shorter lane, where the footpath is a little more overgrown, but easy to follow. After that part follows a short descent, and then we reach a wider cart track and marked crossing.
From the crossing, we continue straight in the direction of the mountain hut Koča na Kamnem griču to which we have 5 more minutes of a moderate ascent on a mostly grassy slope.
From the mountain hut, we can in few steps ascend also on the nearby peak, from which a nice view opens up, which reaches all the way to the Alps.
