Access to starting point:

Path description:
From the starting point, we walk to the church of St. Vid, which we bypass, and behind it we reach another road, and further in the reverse direction we follow the signs of a learning trail Kriva jelka. Because the signs are in the opposite direction the orientation through the village is quite difficult, and we get help from few marks even in the reverse direction. On the top of the village, the path leads on a cart track, and from there we go slightly right on a beaten footpath which passes into the forest. At first, we ascend steeper, and then we are mostly only gently ascending. Next follows a walk through the forest, where we follow the better beaten path, and we also get help from few signposts of learning path, which are usually a little after the crossing and in the reverse direction. A little further, we reach the macadam road which we follow to the right (left Zgornje Duplje and Zadraga), and there we get to the next crossing, where we go straight (right NOB monument in Želin).
We continue on the road and past cottages of brigands we quickly get to Kriva jelka (bent fir tree), where there are some information boards.
