Novo Selo Okićko - Čerga (Plešivica)

Access to starting point:
We leave the highway Zagreb-Karlovac at exit Zdenčina. We drive in the direction of the town Klinča Sela (north). At the traffic light crossroads we go straight. Only when we get to Klinča Sela we will on one crossroad go left (An arrow is unusual placed below on the fence). Now we go ahead and we come in the village Novo Selo Okićko. When we come to a bus turning point we park the car on an appropriate place.

Path description:
From the bus turning point in Novo Selo Okićko we go to the north downwards on a wider road. The path descends to the chapel where there is a crossing. At the chapel, the path branches off to the right towards the mountain hut below Okić, and we continue straight and we walk on the road for approximately one minute, and then we go left through a meadow and behind it into the forest, where we cross the stream. On the other side of the stream there is another crossing, where the path splits on the easier and the harder (harder leads over a rocky cliff Popovdolska pečina (demanding)).
If we chose the easier variant we will soon step out of the forest on the path which leads around the abandoned quarry.
After the quarry, the path returns into the forest and starts ascending steeper on a cart track. At the end of the steep part, also the above the mentioned path over Popovdolska pečina joins, and here we continue left towards the west. The path ahead is for a short time gentle, and then it ascends steeper on the ridge to the first peak of Plešivica, where the path for some time flattens.
When we get to a wider forest road we cross it, and the path on the other side starts ascending steeply on more rocky terrain. On some spots, we have to use hands and then we get to the next peak Zub (ascent on the mentioned peak is quite demanding, but it is also possible to bypass it on a little less demanding path). After the Zub we will get to landslide spot, where the demanding part ends.
From here we will ascend on the next peak, from which to Čerga follows few more shorter ascents and descents. A little further from the right joins also the path from the village Rude and mountain hut Okić. From the crossing, the path few more times ascends and descends, and then we finaly reach the peak of Čerga, where there is a lookout tower and geodetic point.
