Path description:
From the starting point, turn right onto a side road that is closed to public traffic. Soon we arrive at a small crossroads, where we continue straight on (the left road ends on the slopes of Tomanova mountain pasture), and then the path leads us to the upper edge of a nearby pasture, from where we have a beautiful view of the hills above the Tuhinj valley. After the pasture, continue along the upper road on the left, then straight ahead at a small crossroads. A little further on, the forest ends and we arrive at the upper edge of a larger hayfield, where a wider cart track branches off to the left, along which we can reach the saddle between the Podbevško Peć and the Seduc Peak (in the descriptions, the route passes the Seduc Peak), and we continue along the road, which offers us beautiful views. The path then returns to the forest and continues to climb gently to occasionally moderately, but when it starts to descend more visibly, we quickly reach the marked crossroads at Ovčje jame, where we join the marked path.
Follow the waymarked path to the left towards Prevala, where you follow cart track, which soon splits. Continue along the left cart track, along which you will see markings a little higher up, and higher up, you will have a view towards Podbevški peči, and a little further on to Ojstri vrh. At this viewpoint, the path is laid out and then returns to the forest, where you can follow the markings. The initially less visible path soon widens, then climbs crosswise to the left, where higher ground leads us up a steeper slope. After a few minutes, when the path flattens out, you can see a grazing fence in front of you, which you cross, and then you are at Prevala, where you can see a registration box on the left, next to a cross.
The description and pictures refer to the situation in 2016 (November).
