Platak - Snježnik (via grlo)

Access to the starting point:
From the Zagreb - Rijeka motorway, take the Kikovica exit, which leads to the old Zagreb - Rijeka road. Follow the old road in the direction of Zagreb, but only as far as where the ascending road to the ski resort of Platak turns off to the left. Follow this road to a large parking lot, where you park.

Path description:
At the end of the large parking lot (on the right hand side in the direction of ascent) we will see the mountain signs for Snježnik, which direct us to the forest road that climbs gently past the ski slope. The road then goes into the forest, where it starts to climb moderately. After about 15 minutes of walking, the markings direct us left up the worse cart track, which quickly leads us to the next road. Continue left (porly marked) along the road, which after a few more minutes leads us to a fork in the trail, where we continue left in the direction Snježnik "kroz Grlo". The road further changes to cart track, which after a short descent starts to climb moderately. The way ahead leads to the Risnjak National Park, where cart track turns into an increasingly steep footpath. The path, which initially climbs through the forest, quickly leads us to the top of the uncultivated slopes of Snježnik, from which we have an increasingly beautiful view. The path then turns slightly to the right and leads us up a moderate slope to the house at Snježnik. From home to the top, we have only a three-minute steep climb.
