Path description:
From the shop, the car dealership and the Blue Wave car repair shop, follow the local road through the Vešter settlement. A little further on, at a small crossroads, continue left, passing the newer dwellings on the left. After the parking lot, where only residents of Vešter 20a and 20b are allowed to park, the asphalt ends and the dirt road continues a little further, passing the last house on the right. Once to the right of the house, take the left-hand cart track, which continues along a small valley, and after the transformer, take another slight left-hand turn, onto the slightly narrower cart track. From the above-mentioned cart track, which crosses a hayfield, go sharp left after a few steps onto an unmarked path which turns into a wood. Follow the wooded track for a few minutes, then reach cart track, which you follow to the left. A little further on, go slightly right from cart track onto a beaten track which continues to climb cross-country and also leads under a few short overhangs. Higher up, there are a few more forks where you follow a better-beaten path, and when the path is laid, you cross over to join a worse road, which you follow to the left. After a few steps, go right at the woodpile, then left at the first fork after the woodpile. Continue on a moderate and then steep ascent through the forest, still following the better-beaten track at the forks. Higher up, the path flattens out and splits.
Continue left along a noticeably less well-trodden path (straight ahead to the hunting lodge and the Church of St. Križ on Križná hora), which will take you up to the wooded summit in a few minutes.
Description and pictures refer to the situation in 2019 (April).
