Access to the starting point:
From the motorway Rupa - Rijeka / Rijeka or Zagreb - Rijeka / Rijeka, drive towards Rijeka, and from there follow the signs to 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 Cres, follow the signs for Mali Lošinj. In Osor, cross a small bridge to reach the island of Lošinj. We continue following the main road, and near Nerezine, the road to Halmac first turns off to the right. We continue along the main road for a few hundred metres and then the signs for Pešćine direct us to the right onto a narrower ascending road. Follow this road to a small parking lot on the side of the road where the start of the footpath is. There is also an information board at the start of the trail, as well as signs for Televrina and Sv. Nikola.
Path description:
At the starting point, the signs for Sv. Nikola and Televrina direct you to the footpath. The path initially passes through a low forest and climbs gently along a stone fence. The path then turns slightly to the left and occasionally views of the sea begin to open up. The path then climbs for some time across the hillside with fewer trees and consequently even better views. A little higher up, the path leads us into another slightly denser forest where we come to a resting place called the Farbecof Resting Place. There are also a few benches along the way.
The path turns right here and then climbs for some time through the forest, from which we still occasionally get beautiful views towards Nerezine and the island of Cres. Follow the well-marked trail all the way to the marked crossroads just below the summit of Sveti Nikola.
At the crossroads, turn left and after a short climb reach the summit, where the Chapel of St Nicholas is also located. At the top you will have a very nice view on all sides.
