Path description:
From the starting point, we continue on the macadam road which is gently ascending through the forest. We soon come to a smaller crossing, where the marked path branches off to the right towards Sveti Mohor, and we few more minutes walk on the road which at the crossroads we follow in the direction of Špičasti hrib. And even a little further, the road brings us to a smaller wooden cottage, which is situated on the left side of the road.
At this spot, on the right side we notice a sign for Špičasti hrib, which points us to the right uphill. The path ahead at first steeply ascends, and then already after few meters flattens and continues in a gentle ascent. After few minutes of gentle ascent we step on the forest road which we only cross and on the other side, we look for the continuation of the marked path. The path which continues through the forest, for some time leads on an indistinct ridge and then turns a little to the right, where for a short time flattens. Next follows a short crossing, and then the path starts ascending steeply. Higher, we cross the cart track, and the path passes on even a little steeper forested ridge. The path which almost all the time runs through the forest, higher brings us to a marked crossing, where we continue straight upwards (left - Sveti Jošt, right - Sveti Mohor).
We continue in the direction of Špičasti hrib, which we reach after good 5 minutes of additional walking.
