Path description:
From the starting point, continue on the side road in the direction of Bičkova skala and Dražgoše mountains. At first walk along the steep asphalt road towards the hamlet of Jelenšče, then continue left on the road in the direction of house numbers Dražgoše 43, 68 and 70. With fine views, follow the asphalt road up to the edge of the forest, where a path branches off the road to the right, leading to Dražgoška gora, mountain pasture Kališe and Vodiška mountain pasture (the branch is not marked). After a short climb, continue right at the crossroads (the signpost points straight ahead), then climb through the hay meadow. When you reach a wider path a little further on, continue left (right to return to the tarmac road, but reach it higher up than your starting point), and then follow it for some time, climbing cross-country to the left. A little further on you reach cart track, which you just cross and continue in the direction of mountain pasture Kališe and Vodice (left Dražgoška gora for 5 minutes, right Jelenšče), along a path that climbs a little more, a little further on, it reaches the edge of the plateau Jelovica, where it lays down and joins cart track a little further on (here it joins with the path leading past the lookout Dražgoška gora), which is followed slightly to the right. Cart track soon leads to a forest road where there is a marked crossroads.
The left road continues in the direction of Partizanski vrh, the marked path to Vodiška mountain pasture continues to the right, and the road can also be followed back to Dražgoše, while we continue slightly to the left, on the footpath in the direction of mountain pasture Kališnik. From the point where we leave the road, we start to descend gently through the forest, the path becomes flatter lower down, and then quickly leads us to the abandoned mountain pasture.
