Path description:
From the starting point, we continue towards the east, that means, on an asphalt road which leads towards the center of the village. When after approximately 100 meters we get to a smaller crossroad, by which we notice a cross, we continue right in the direction of Ostri vrh, where also nearby red mountain signpost pointing us to. The path ahead ascends past few houses, and then we continue left on a macadam road, by which we soon notice blazes. When the road passes into the forest, we continue right on a cart track which continues through the forest (straight on the road Ostri vrh over Mali vrh).
Further, we are gently to moderately ascending through the forest, at some crossings we follow the blazes. Higher, the path flattens, and then it for some time continues with some shorter ascents and descents, and later it again starts ascending. When the path passes on slopes of Ostri vrh turns for some time more to the left, and for a short time also some view opens up. Worse beaten, but relatively well-marked path higher brings us to the spot, where from the right side joins the path from hut Dom LD Dobrnič.
From here only a short ascent follows and the path brings us on a forested Ostri vrh.
