Path description:
From the starting point, we head onto the path that continues through the small valley Skodovec, alongside which are signs for Boč and path Detičkova pot (the right path over Baba), initially ascending gently and a little further on moderately. After a few minutes of ascent, we cross the asphalt road leading towards Dom na Boču, and we continue the ascent through the small valley, where the slopes above the valley gradually become steeper, and the path also becomes steeper. Higher up, the marked path turns to the right and crosses onto the slopes, over which we diagonally ascend to the ridge, reaching it slightly above the indistinct peak of Baba (594 meters).
Here the marked path turns left, but we continue right on an unmarked footpath, which initially descends gently, then quickly ascends to the summit of Baba.
The description and pictures refer to the condition in December 2024.
