Path description:
From the parking lot, cross the road and follow the marked path towards Krvavice. The trail goes into the forest from the very beginning and starts to climb quite steeply. Higher up, the steepness eases a little and the path turns sharp left at a signpost (walk along the path for the nesting of rare bird species). The path then starts to climb steeply again and after a few minutes of further walking leads to an undistinguished side ridge where it turns to the right. We continue to climb through the forest on a path that leads us higher up to a very steep slope. The steepness eases for a short time as the path leads us along an exposed and often muddy shelf. A steep climb follows up a grassy slope overgrown with sparse forest. At the top of this steep section, which is a slip hazard in wet conditions, the path leads to a natural window through which a protected mountain path is routed. With the help of crampons and a rope, we climb to the top of the window, followed by another 10 steps of walking on a steep grassy slope. The steepness then eases and the path, which continues through the forest, soon leads us to the top of Krvavice.
