Path description:
From the starting point, we go on a forest path in the direction of abyss Brezarjevo brezno, which without a large changes in altitude brings us to the juncture with a little better beaten path, which we follow to the right (left Kucja dolina). The right path already after few steps splits, and we continue slightly left (on the slightly right path we can in few steps get to abyss Veliko Brezarjevo brezno). A gentle ascent follows through the forest, then the path leads us below the high voltage power line. On the other side fo the power line we cross also a short lane of a forest, then the path leads us through a little larger clearing, where we continue straight, again in the forest. Through the forest, we are for a short time ascending on a wider cart track, after that a beaten path turns slightly to the right and starts moderately ascending. The path quickly flattens and gets very close to an asphalt road which runs on Toško Čelo.
When we reach the edge of the road, we also reach a better marked path from Preval (until now by the path, we could only notice some old faded blazes), which continues slightly right from the road. Further, we follow the blazes, and when we step out of the forest we continue a little right, and then we ascend through a meadow. Next follows a traversing of a lane of bushes, and then we already get to the hunting cottage on Toško Čelo.
