Access to the starting point:
The starting point is the mountain hut "Filičev dom", located 5 minutes (by road) southeast of the top of Ravna gora and the paragliders' airstrip.
Path description:
The trail starts between Filić's home and the Balkon lookout point. The trail descends steeply at the beginning and then drops by about 30 metres. When the descent ends, there is a sharp left turn, at which you can see a small steel cable. Alongside the steel cable and a few steel cables, descend gently below the overhanging slopes on a path that runs along smooth rock slabs.
Halfway along the route there is a new climbing area (still under construction - September 2012).
After crossing the slope below the cliffs, the path starts to climb steeply on a well-maintained path with log steps to help you progress. A blue 'hare' helps you as you climb the stairs. When the fixed safety gear ends, we arrive at a crossroads. The "Pečina" trail continues to the right, and we continue to the left, climbing slightly to reach the trail leading from Kamenički Podgorje (via Babice). From here it is only a minute's walk and we return to the starting point.
There are numerous information and educational boards along the trail, and the trail is technically demanding, which makes it different from other trails.
