Path description:
From the parking lot, we walk to the main road and we continue right to the nearby roundabout, from which we go on the road, by which there are signs for Jelovec pri Makolah and Sveti Urban.
We continue on a little narrower road which leads us across the stream Jelovški potok. Makole a little ahead ends, and from the crossroad with dead-end street we continue left, where first blazes show up. We continue on the asphalt road which a little ahead ascends through the forest and then leads past few houses. Further from the road a nice view opens up, and at few crossroads we follow the signs and blazes. Higher, the road leads us past the chapel of St. Urban, and at few crossroads we still follow the blazes. Eventually we go from the asphalt road left on a macadam road which for some time descends a little, and from there we go right on a cart track which ascends by the edge of the forest. The path ahead few minutes leads through the forest, and when we leave the forest we go right, so that we bypass the nearby homestead on the right side, and when we reach the asphalt road we go left. Again follows some descent, and at the farm Domišak the road returns into the forest and starts ascending. In the forest, we go from the road right on a cart track, on which we are diagonally ascending. When we leave the cart track, from which for some time a nice view opens up on Boč, we step on the road which we follow to the right (left - Plešivec). On the road, we don't walk long, because blazes point us slightly to the left, on a cart track which ascends diagonally towards the right, and higher at the crossings we follow it in the direction of the blazes. In the vicinity of the peak Kisovec the path starts descending and brings us on a worse road, on which we lightly descend to Formila.
Here we go twice left, and we are then ascending on a macadam road through the forest. Already after few minutes we will on the left side of the road notice signs for partisan hospital, which leads to the spot, where used to be a partisan hospital.
