Path description:
From the spot, where we notice the first blazes, the path leads us on a side road which at the hydrant splits into two parts. We continue on the bottom road which gradually changes into a cart track, and it turns right and it ascends to the edge of the forest. By the edge of the forest, we choose the right path, by which there are also blazes, and the path passes into the forest, and a little higher returns on a wider cart track. We continue on a forested cart track which is at first quite gently, and then moderately ascending. At the crossings, we follow the blazes or signs for Planica. Higher, the cart track becomes steeper and for some time passes on a shorter steep slope. Above the mentioned part, we reach a wider cart track which brings us out of the forest on a grassy slope below the settlement Planica. With nice views towards the valley and the Alps we quickly reach a smaller settlement, where at the crossroads we continue straight, few 10 strides before the road sign, which marks the end of the settlement, we continue slightly left on a cart track which ascends past a religious symbol.
From the religious symbol follows for approximately 10 minutes of ascent and the path which partly runs through the forest, brings us to the church of the Archangel Gabriel, which is situated on the summit.
