Path description:
From the starting point at the sports hall Železniki we continue in the direction of Forest teaching trail Kres, where at first over a small bridge we cross the stream Dašnjica, and when about 100 meters ahead we reach the other asphalt road, we continue left, and we walk there a minute or two, and then at the information board of the Forest teaching trail we continue sharply right (slightly right path, which bypasses the peak of Kres), so that we ascend above the road. Few minutes we are ascending by the edge of the forest, and from the path a nice view opening up on Železniki, and the path by which there are some boards of a learning path soon passes into the forest. Through the forest, we are for few minutes still moderately ascending, and then the path flattens and it brings us on an indistinct peak Kres, from which we for some time continue without large changes in altitude or we few times ascend and again descend. When we reach a larger meadow, the forest learning path Kres turns sharply left and diagonally descends back to an asphalt road, and we continue straight, through a meadow into the forest. On the other side of the meadow, we start ascending on and by the indistinct ridge of Hujska, and the path leads us through a dense forest. Higher, the path becomes steeper (the steep part we can avoid right on a cart track), and when from the right, the mentioned cart track joins, it flattens a little. When both paths join, the cart track ends, and we continue straight, on a moderately steep path, on which in few minutes of additional walking, we reach the peak of Hujska.
