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 expressway in the last part ends, we descend to the Krk Bridge (toll 35 kuna - March 2014) and then continue driving to Omisalj, Njivice, Malinska, Krk, Punat and Baška. At Punat, leave the road leading to Baška and turn right at the roundabout towards the Punat and Stara Baška exit. Continue through Punat, and after Punat the road first climbs and then begins to descend towards the Škrila bivouac. From the bivouac, the road first climbs to a bus turnaround and then to Stara Baška. At the beginning of Stara Baška, just behind the Stanka guesthouse, you can see the mountain direction signs for Obzova and Veli vrh. This is also the official start of the trail, but as there are no parking places for hikers in the vicinity, you should park earlier, preferably near the Škrila camp or drive further from Stara Baška and then park in the large parking lot. If you park at the Šrkila bivouac, it will take you about 10 minutes longer, and if you park at the parking lot at the end of Stara Baška, it will take you about 20 minutes longer.
Path description:
From Stara Baška, where you can see the signs for Obzova, the trail first crosses above the beginning of the settlement and then leads under a nearby power line. With fine views of Škrila beach, Stara Baška, Galun and Cres island, we climb a step higher, where the trail first turns slightly right and then transversely flattens out. It then crosses a valley, where the path turns left and then climbs steeply, partly on rough and partly on overgrown scree, reminiscent of the highlands of the Slovenian mountains. When the crossing ends, the path gradually flattens out into a more plateau-like world, where it also gradually moves away from the sea. There is an easy climb on rather rocky terrain, and we follow the relatively well-marked path to the Kanjine crossroads, which is located by a small stone enclosure.
On the stones we see markings for the Spuhotina crossroads and Veli Hlam peak, which direct us slightly to the right, in the route from which we came we see markings for Stara Baška, and to the left there are no markings, only old markings leading to the Obzova peak and the Mala Brestovica crossroads.
From this crossroads, continue left along the stone fence on a less well-trodden and poorly marked path. A little further on, the path leads us into a more grassy and partly bush-covered valley, after which we climb gently for some time. Higher up, we leave the valley, as the markings lead us left onto a scenic slope, and then the path turns right and continues along a relatively folded world. The path is barely visible on the rocky surface and the markings are sparse, so you have to follow the old markings carefully at all times. Higher up, you come to another stone wall, which you cross at a place where it has been knocked down, and the markings lead you over the knocked-down part, which become even more sparse after the wall. After the wall, continue to the left and continue towards the crossroads Mala Brestovica, where you continue to the right. We continue along a slightly steeper path, which we follow towards the top of Obzova. Just below the summit, we join the more beaten track from the Treskavac Pass, and we continue to the right and in a few steps reach the highest peak of the Krka Island, which offers a beautiful view. In the fog, orientation is very difficult for much of the route.

Danes sem opravil to pot. Markacije so obnovili in si zdaj zelo lepo sledijo, tako da je nemogoče zgrešiti sicer mestoma slabo uhojeno pot. V pomoč je sem in tja tudi kakšen možicelj. Markacije lepo vodijo tudi na druge vrhove v okolici. Lep pohod.
