Access to the starting point:
a) Drive to Pivka, and from there continue to Knežak. In Knežak, at the marked crossroads, turn left in the direction of Masun and the settlements Bač and Koritnicee. A little further on, go right in the direction of Mashun and Koritnice (straight ahead Bač). After Koritnice the road starts to climb more visibly and shortly above the village makes a sharp right turn. The road then lays a little further on, and then leads to an information board marking the Natura 2000 area. About 100 m further on from the board, you will notice a suitable parking space on the right hand side of the road.

After Koritnice, the road starts to climb more visibly and shortly above the village makes a sharp right turn.

Path description:
From the starting point, continue along the road in the direction of Mašun, and then at the point where the road turns right, at a small crossroads, continue left onto a worse macadam road, which you can follow without any major changes in elevation. There are a few forks where you follow the "main" cart track or worse road, and when the worse road turns left a little further on, it descends into the valley or freezing point Kneški dol. On the other side of Kneški dol, the minor road or the wide cart track turns right and climbs moderately. A little higher, cart track is laid down and then joins a wider dirt road which is followed on the left. There is a slight descent with fine views of the surrounding hills, and then at the next junction continue sharp right (Bač village on the left).
From the crossroads, there is a few minutes of downhill, then the road first flattens out and then gradually begins a moderate climb through the forest. Climb through the forest on the macadam road for some time, then, when you reach the marked trail Jurišče - Kršičevec, continue right in the direction of Kršičevec.
From the point where you leave the road, continue up the moderately steep cart track, which quickly leads you to a natural landmark, a lime tree with several trunks. Higher up, the path quickly becomes more steep and the forest begins to thin out. With beautiful views of the surrounding hills, we reach a bench where the marked path turns left and after a few 10 steps splits into two parts.
Continue straight on in the direction of Kršičevec (right Mrzla jama and Kršičevec past Mrzla jama), then the path takes you into the lane of a forest, where you reach 1000 metres above sea level. The forest ends quickly, and then, with views that reach as far as the Alps, you reach a lookout point that offers a fine view on all sides.
From the viewing platform, continue slightly to the right, descend slightly and then climb to the top of Kršičevec, where there is a registration box with a stamp and a registration book.
The description and pictures refer to the situation in 2016 (February).
