Cvetlin - Ravna Gora

Access to the starting point:
If you cross the border between Slovenia and Croatia at the Varnica crossing (near Leskovec), Cvetlin is the first place in Croatia.
If you arrive in Croatia from somewhere else, take the road to Trakoščan and then continue driving in the direction of Donja Višnjice. Follow the road to Cvetlin, where you park near the Cvetlin cafeteria.

Path description:
From the cafeteria or the nearby school, which is located a little further north, follow the tarmac uphill. The path climbs moderately at first and then gently flattens out. There are a few steep serpentines and the path leads to a parking area under the Švec farm (you can also drive here, but there is only room for 4 vehicles). The path to here is not marked, but it is easy to follow as you are walking on an asphalt road the whole time.
Continue along the Švec farm (house numbers 165 and 167) and then follow the gently sloping cart track upwards. Here, a view of Veliki Pečine and Pohorje opens up to the left. The path goes into the forest and leads us to a place where the path to Veliki Pečine branches off to the left (here we join the climbing path over Veliki Pečine). Continue along the sloping path to a crossroads where the path for Velika vrata (Velika vrata Pass) branches off. Continue slightly to the right on a steeper path, which ends before the Pusti duh lodge.
From the house, follow the road first downhill and past the crossroads for Kotarščak and the crossroads for Cimerplac. The path then ascends to the Pusti Duh church, from which it is only a minute's walk to the top with the lookout tower.
Filić's house is about 5 minutes' walk along the road from the summit.
