Path description:
From the starting point, we continue on the left road (right Slavkov dom 1 minute), from there we go quickly left on a marked path in the direction of Jeterbenk, Katarina and Grmada. At first, we gently ascend on a cart track which behind the quarry changes into a somewhat steeper footpath for a while. A little ahead we join another cart track, and we still follow the signs for Jeterbenk and Katarina. A gentle path leads us past a cross and an oak, and then it starts ascending a little more. For a few minutes we still ascend on a cart track, and then the markers lead us on a forest path, along which we arrive at a marked junction.
From the junction we continue straight in the direction of Katarina, where by the path we notice a yellow X (with yellow signs the Jakobova pot is marked). Next follows some diagonal ascent and we arrive at the next junction, where to the right branches a marked path to Jeterbenk (along the ridge), and we continue straight in the direction of Katarina. When a little ahead we step out of the forest, we also step on a cart track, on the cart track we cross grassy slopes to the junction with a macadam road. On the road we ascend a little more, and then we arrive at a chapel with Mary of the Seven Sorrows, where from the right the path from Jeterbenk and the path from the starting point Žlebe join.
We continue straight on a gentle macadam road which leads towards Katarina, and to the church of St. Katarina we arrive after a few minutes of additional walking.
Behind the church signs for Jakobova pot direct us to the right, where at first we walk along the wall, then behind the field the path turns left and ascends diagonally. Higher we step on a cart track which we reach right at the junction. We continue in the direction towards Sveti Jakob (right unmarked path to Rog) and for a short time we still ascend, then the path flattens and when it enters the forest, it starts descending. After a short descent we reach a wide cart track, where we join the usual path which leads from Topola towards Sveti Jakob.
We follow the path to the right, and it leads us on the right side of a smaller hamlet. A gentle and panoramic path then brings us to a junction, where slightly to the right a path towards Sora and Preska branches off, and we continue slightly left and further on the cart track. A few steps ahead we go from the cart track which also leads to the top to the right and in a few minutes of steeper ascent we ascend to the church of St. Jakob.
