Path description:
Fom the end of the parking lot, we continue slightly right on a marked path in the direction of Sveti Jošt. A gently sloping path at first leads below the high voltage power line, and when we reach the edge of the forest it splits.
We continue slightly right on an unmarked path (straight Sveti Jošt), which a little ahead crosses the route of a high voltage power line. On the other side fo the power line, the path returns into the forest, where leads us past the abandoned trim trail, and a little higher on the left side we bypass also a hayrack and homestead. Further, the path turns a little more to the left and then it is for some time lightly ascending towards the left. When we join the path from Rakovica, the path turns right and starts ascending steeper. Next follows some ascent through the forest and then we join the asphalt road, on which we continue to the nearby peak of Šmarjetna gora.
