Path description:
We start the trail across a small bridge, at which we see the signs for Dom na Farbanci. Then climb through the forest, first following the cart track, and higher up on a well-maintained footpath that leads past the Light Well. Above the well, cross another cart track, and then the relatively steep path slopes down a little and becomes an undistinguished valley. From the valley, soon turn slightly to the right, then first join the cart track, and a few steps higher still, a dirt road, which quickly leads to the Dom mountaineers na Farbanca (The House of the Mountaineers on Farbanca).
Description and pictures refer to the situation in 2016 (January).
