Path description:
From the starting point, take the side road in the direction of Osolnik, the Osovnik log cabin and the Doma na Govejku. At first, we climb along the macadam road, from which the mountain path to Govejek soon branches off to the left, and we continue along the road to the right turn, where after crossing the Govejeski graben stream, we continue to the left on the marked mountain path. We climb along the stream for a while, then the path turns slightly left and passes onto a slope. A steep climb follows for a few minutes and then we arrive at a marked crossroads, where we continue right towards Osolnik (left Govejek). After a short, winding crossing we arrive at a macadam road, which we reach at a crossroads, and from the crossroads we continue on cart track in the direction of Osolnik. We soon return to the road, and leave it again when the signs for the Osovnik log cabin direct us to the right, onto a track which we quickly climb to reach the log cabin.
