Path description:
From the starting point, we continue in the direction of Slovenski vrh, and the path goes from the initial meadow in the forest, through which it ascends on at first quite an overgrown path. After a short ascent, we quickly reach a cart track which we follow to the right, from there we go already after few steps left in the forest, on a well-marked footpath. Further, we are again ascending steeper, and then we reach a macadam road, on which we go few steps to the right, and then left on a steep cart track. On the cart track, we are ascending for few minutes, after that at few crossings we carefully follow the blazes. Higher, we again step on the forest road which we soon leave as well. Next follows for some time again more overgrown path, after crossing another road, we get to a marked crossing, where from the right side joins the path from Jasnica.
We continue in the direction of Slovenski vrh, on the path which in few minutes of additional moderate ascent brings us to the summit, on which there is a smaller antenna tower.
From Slovenski vrh we continue left in the direction of Ledenik and Mestni vrh, on the path which continues on a forested ridge of Stojna. After the initial descent, a poorly beaten, but well-marked path flattens and soon crosses a forest road. When a little further we reach another forest road, we follow it to the left, and we walk there to its end, from where we continue left upwards on a marked cart track. From the cart track, we soon go right, and then we continue through a dense forest. After few minutes, we reach the next forest road which we follow to the left, and it is slowly turning to the right, so that it semicirculary bypasses the nearby forestry cottage Bivaki.
A little further from the cottage, at the stump with a projecting roof, we leave the road and we continue right on the path in the direction of Ledenik. After a short ascent, in the middle of the turn, we reach the next road, on which we ascend to its end. From the end of the road, we follow the marked path, which for some time steeply ascends, and then for a short time flattens, where it turns a little to the right and gradually passes on the ridge, on which we then in few minutes ascend on the highest peak of Stojna.
