Path description:
From the cemetery we go on the right road in the direction of Sveti Pavel (left Črniče) and we walk there approximately 50 meters. After 50 meters asphalt road turns slightly to the right, and right on this spot we leave it and we continue straight on a macadam road. For a very short time we walk on the macadam road, and then signs for Sveti Pavel and Kucelj point us to even a little more to the left on a partly rocky cart track. A gentle ascent follows through the forest and then we join the path from the village Gojače.
We continue straight and on a well followable but unmarked cart track which continues through a thinner forest, we ascend to the next marked crossing. This time we continue on the left cart track (right Sveti Pavel and Vrtovin), by which there are signs for Kucelj and Sveti Pavel. Only few 10 meters higher we join a wider cart track and we follow it to the right (left Črniče). Further, we are approximately 10 minutes ascending on the mentioned cart track, and then we get to the next crossing, where signs for Kucelj point us to the right on a little narrower cart track, to which soon from the right joins the path, on which we would come, if we would a little lower continue in the direction of Sveti Pavel and Vrtovin. Ahead we for some time cross to the right, and then the path brings us to a bigger trough. From here we short time continue through a lane of bushes, and then the path brings us to the spot, where we continue right in the direction of Sveti Pavel (left Kucelj). The path ahead ascends through a lane of a forest and then it flattens and it brings us to the church of St. Pavel.
