Path description:
At the end of the parking lot there is a marked crossroads where we continue right in the direction of Jeterbenk and Katarina (Slavkov dom na Golem Brdu on the left). The path initially leads us along a macadam road, which changes for a small house into cart track, and we continue left into the woods, where we first cross a small stream. We continue to climb gently along the occasionally overgrown path, which leads us past several small crossroads, where we follow the markings. After a few minutes of ascending, the path turns slightly to the left and gradually descends to a forest road, which we only cross. There is a small downhill, and then we reach an asphalt road and follow it to the right, but we walk along it only for a short time, as red mountain signs direct us to the left to a nearby fruit press.
Go around the fruit press pr Andrej on the left, then follow it over a small bridge into the forest. In the forest, first continue to the right and in a few minutes climb up to cart track, which leads out of the forest. The way forward is along the above-mentioned cart track, which leads first past a house and then along the beautiful views of the Polhograjsko hills. After a short descent, you reach an asphalt road, which you only cross, as the route continues on a macadam road. The road soon splits into two parts, and we continue along the lower left one, which quickly leads to a left turn, at which there is a marked Žlebe parking lot.
From the parking lot continue along cart track in the direction of Katarina, Jeterbenk and St. Marjeta (Petelinc on the left), which continues along the left side of the brook. After a few 10 steps leave the cart track and continue right into the woods, first descending to and crossing the stream. On the other side, continue climbing gently for a short distance, then the path turns right and climbs steeply. A little higher, you reach a marked crossroads, where you continue left (St Margaret's Church on the right for 3 minutes) and then left again at the next crossroads. A little further on the path splits into two parts, and we continue on the lower left (right Jeterbenk over Turnice), which is not marked for some time, but is marked at most of the crossroads. From the unmarked crossroads, first descend gently to a small ravine, then climb steeply to cart track, which is followed to the left, and we walk along it to the place where the "Petelinc" markers direct us right onto a steeper path, which in a few minutes takes us to a hayfield (there is a bench at the edge of the hayfield), over which we climb steeply. The way forward returns to the forest and leads us past the ruins to a marked crossroads, where we join the marked path from Slavkov's home at Golem Brdo.
Here we continue to the right and start climbing along the ridge Jeterbenk, which occasionally opens up some views to the south. Higher up, we reach a kind of headland, from which we descend to a small pass, where we join the path from Katarina. Continue straight ahead and in a few steps reach the summit, in the middle of which stands a large cross.
From the crossroads, a few steps below the summit, continue in the direction of Katarina, first descending steeply through the forest and then reaching a cottage, where the path is laid and leads to the road. Continue along the road, which quickly leads to the crossroads at the chapel.
From this crossroads, which is located at the edge of the forest, continue straight ahead (sharp left Jeterbenk, left Slavkov dom na Golem Brdu) along the scenic road, which quickly leads to the next crossroads, from where you continue straight ahead on the footpath, which continues between two roads (the left road leads to Katarina, the right road leads to the Kozomer farm). The path continues quickly up to a bench and a table, and then continues for a short distance along the edge of the forest, where a beautiful view opens up. Higher up, the path descends into the forest and leads to a hill, from which it descends past a byte to cart track. Climb cart track for a short distance and then, at the point where cart track turns slightly to the right, continue straight up a well-trodden track which begins to climb steeply across the hayfield. Higher up, the path enters the woods, where it climbs even steeper. When you get a little higher out of the forest, you are at the top of the Róg by a large wooden cross.
