Path description:
From the starting point, we head onto the side road in the direction of Osolnik, the Osovnik log cabin and the Dom na Govejku mountain hut. Initially, we ascend along the macadam road, from which a mountain path to Govejek soon branches off to the left; we continue along the road to the right bend, where after crossing the Govejski graben stream we continue left onto the marked mountain path. For some time we ascend beside the stream, then the path turns slightly left and goes onto the slope. There follows a few minutes of steep ascent, then we arrive at a marked junction, where we continue right towards Osolnik (left Govejek). After a short gentle traverse we arrive at the macadam road, which we reach at the intersection; from the intersection we continue on the cart track in the direction of Osolnik. Soon we return to the road, but leave it again when the signs for the Osovnik log cabin direct us right onto a path, along which we quickly ascend to the mentioned log cabin.
At the log cabin we step onto the macadam road, along which in some 10 steps we descend to the road which we left before the log cabin, and continue walking right to a smaller saddle, where we continue left. We ascend along the road past a hayrack, then before the last house we go slightly right onto the ascending cart track, along which with nice views we continue all the way to the nearby little church and to the summit, which is located a little behind the church.
