Osor - Križica

Access to the starting point:
From the motorway Rupa - Rijeka / Rijeka or Zagreb - Rijeka / Rijeka, drive towards Rijeka, and from there follow the signs for Krk Island. When the motorway or, in the last part, the expressway ends, descend to the Krk Bridge. On the island of Krk, follow the signs for the islands of Cres and Lošinj and the ferry port of Valbiska. At the ferry port, take the ferry to Merag on the island of Cres (126 kuna - July 2020). On the island of Cres, follow the signs for Mali Lošinj to Osor, where you will cross a short drawbridge to reach the island of Lošinj. Just after the bridge, turn right and park in a small parking lot. This parking lot is often busy, so you can park in the larger parking lot, which is located at the roundabout in Osor about 300 metres before the bridge.

Path description:
Just after the bridge connecting the islands of Cres and Lošinj, take the ascending road through the camping site of Preko mosta. At the beginning of the road you will also see signs. After a short climb, the bivouac ends, and we continue along the road, which then becomes a dirt road. There are also signs along the road and a large signpost with the inscription "Osoršćica".

We continue on the dirt road and soon come to a marked crossroads where a path branches off to the left towards the abandoned village of Tržić, which is about a 20-minute walk away. We continue along the road for a short time, and then a signpost for a mountain hut and the Televrina peak directs us left into the forest.

The trail continues through mostly low forest along a stone fence. The path then branches off to the right towards Mali Tržić, and we continue straight on, following the signs for the mountain lodge. The path then climbs slightly and leads to a marked crossroads.

A path from Nerezine via Tržić joins us from the left, a sharp right downhill path leads to the road, and we continue slightly to the right, following the signs for the mountain lodge and the Televrina peak. From the crossroads, the relatively level path runs westwards and after about 15 minutes leads to the next marked crossroads.

To the right leads a slightly longer path past the mountain hut, and we continue to the left where we are directed by the marker for peak Televrina. From the crossroads, the path runs mostly through low forest and starts to climb a shade steeper. A little higher we come out of the forest on a slope covered with bushes from where we start to get a nice view towards the sea and the town of Osor. The path then climbs through the lane of a forest, and then leads to less and less vegetated slopes with a very nice view of the surroundings. Here the path turns slightly to the left and climbs quite steeply up the slope. This path then leads to the registration box.

From the registration box there is only a short climb to a crossroads where the macadam road joins. To the left is a road leading to the transmitter, straight across the road is a footpath leading to the top of Televrina, and we turn right slightly down the dirt road. After about ten metres, a path branches off to the left towards the climbing area, and we continue along the dirt road. You will then see a peak with a cross on the left. The road then quickly leads to a marked crossroads where the sign "Križ 1min" directs us upwards to the left.

There is a short climb up a narrow path to the top.

You can descend along the ascent route, or continue along the road to the mountain hut and return to the starting point.
