Path description:
From the Podmeja pass, head west on the worse macadam road towards Svete mountain pasture. After some 10 steps leave the road and continue along cart track, which climbs gently through the forest. Higher up, cart track becomes completely flat and gradually changes from an undefined ridge to an axial side. Here the marked cart track turns sharp right (poorly marked) and starts to descend more visibly. At the end of the descent, you come to a wide cart track, which you follow in a few steps to an asphalted road, which you follow to the right. Next, looking towards Kum and climbing past a few houses, ascend to a marked crossroads, where you continue towards "Sveta planina - footpath" (to the right Sveta planina access by car).
Continue along a winding dirt road for some time, then reach a small hamlet where you turn sharp right and then immediately after the house left onto the climbing cart track. Cart track first leads us through grassy hay meadows, even briefly descends a little higher up and then leads us into a dense forest, where it starts to climb steeply. Higher up, the path turns to the left and, after some 10 steps of further walking, leads us to a marker next to which stands a lonely house. Behind the house the path widens again and leads us past a water trough to the vast grassy slopes north of Svete mountain pasture.
Here the path to Javor branches off to the right, and we continue along the road to a nearby crossroads. At the crossroads, continue right (left Sveta planina for 5 minutes) and follow the road as it descends across the initially still scenic slope. The road then passes into the forest and leads to a crossroads where you continue to the right in the direction of the Vrhe Mountain Home. Continue along the left-hand side, crossing the slopes of the Javor peak, and then arrive at a crossroads, in the middle of which there is a monument to the National Liberation Monument. Continue straight ahead here, and in a few minutes walk past the Church of St Lenart to the Vrhe Mountain Home.
