Parking in front of chapel - Zavižanski Pivčevac (via Buljevac)

Access to the starting point:
From the Zagreb - Split motorway, take the Otočac exit. Follow the road towards the village of Krasno and Sjeverni Velebit. A rather winding road leads through the village of Švica to Krasno, where the road from Senj joins (access is also possible from this direction). In Krasno, continue towards the signs for the Sjeverni Velebit National Park and the Zavižan lodge. The road, which then becomes macadam, leads to the entrance to the park, where the entrance fee is collected. Continue along the road which, shortly before the chapel, leads to a small roadside parking lot where you will see signs for Mali Rajinac.

Path description:
From the parking lot, follow the footpath, which initially descends slightly and circles the sinkhole on the right-hand side of the path. The path climbs up to a point where it leads out of the forest. Follow the path through a beautiful grassy clearing to the crossroads at Buljevac. Continue slightly to the right towards Pivčevac along the path, which soon leads into the forest. The way forward climbs quite steeply in places through a rather overgrown forest. The path through the forest is sometimes poorly visible, but the frequent markings help us. A few steps below the summit, we step out of the forest onto a scenic peak.
