Path description:
From the starting point, we focus on the path in the direction of St Urbana, where we initially walk along a gently sloping asphalt road, which begins to climb more visibly behind the houses and quickly leads us to a small crossroads, where we continue to the right on a macadam road, along which there are signs for St Urbana. The ascent along the macadam road leads us first through the woods and then higher up through hay fields, where we also reach the nearby farm.
At the farm we join the Beekeeping Trail, and we continue to the right and follow the cart track, which opens up a beautiful view towards Blegoš, up to the nearby hilltop, where St Urban's Church stands.
