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 path then continue all the way to the marked crossroads just below the Sveti Nikola peak.
To the left is just a short climb to the top of Sveti Nikola where there is also a chapel. If you also visit the chapel, then return to the crossroads and then continue towards the top of Televrina.
From the crossroads we first descend slightly, then climb along the ridge from which we open a view also to the west side. The path then leads us past a viewpoint called "Vatreni View" where there is also a bench. We continue to climb along the bushes and low trees and the path soon leads us to a macadam road where there is also a crossroads.
To the right on the road is just a few metres to the transmitter, down to the left is a footpath leading to Vela Jama, and we continue straight ahead and descend gently on the dirt road. After a few dozen metres, we reach the marked crossroads again.
Here we leave the macadam road leading down towards the mountain lodge and further towards Osor and turn left on the footpath towards the top of Televrino. The trail continues along the ridge through low forest, with occasional beautiful views of the surrounding area. This path, which is mostly gently ascending, then leads to the top of Televrino.
In the summer months it is very hot on the trail, so it is advisable to set off very early and to have plenty of drinks with you.
