Path description:
From the starting point, continue in the direction of the village Bezgovica, which is quickly reached. When you reach the village, continue slightly right at a small crossroads, and then, with beautiful views of Sveta Gora and Gorski Kotar, you will reach the upper part of the village, where you will follow the signs between the houses. Behind the last house you will see the mountain direction signs, which direct you to the bank, to the path that turns into a forest, through which you gradually start to climb steeply. After a short climb, we are joined on the right by a path from the 18th serpentine road to Strmo Reber, and we continue straight on the steeper path, which leads us higher up in a cross-climb to a steep valley, after which we continue our climb. Higher up, markings from the open valley lead us left onto a path that passes along the edge of an occasionally precipitous ridge. The ascent continues along an occasionally slightly more overgrown path, which retreats slightly to the right, occasionally opening up some views of the surrounding hills. A few minutes higher we reach the broad cart track, which we follow to the left, and we follow it to where it splits into two parts.
We continue on the slightly left cart track (the right cart track bypasses Bezgarska planina and leads to the Strma Reber pass), which quickly takes us out of the forest to the lower part of the Bezgarska mountain pasture. When you reach mountain pasture, you will walk across a meadow to a large hunting observation point in a minute or two.
Description and pictures refer to the situation in 2015 (August).
