Route description:
From the starting point, we continue right onto a side road that is closed to public traffic. Soon we arrive at a smaller crossroad, where we continue straight (the left road ends on the slopes of Tomanova planina), then the path takes us along the upper edge of the nearby pasture, from where a beautiful view opens towards the hills above the Tuhinjska valley. After the pasture we continue along the left upper road, then at the smaller crossroad straight ahead. A little further the forest ends and we arrive at the upper edge of a larger panoramic hay meadow, where a wider cart track branches off to the left, along which we can reach the saddle between Podbevška peč and the peak Seduc (in descriptions of the path past the peak Seduc), but we continue along the road that offers nice views. Further on, the path returns to the forest and continues gently to occasionally moderately ascending, but when it starts to descend more noticeably, we quickly arrive at the marked junction at Ovčje jame, where we join the marked path.
We follow the marked path to the left towards Prevala, where we walk along a cart track that soon splits. We continue along the left cart track, along which slightly higher we notice the blazes, and higher up from it a view opens towards Podbevška peč, and a little further also to Ojstri vrh. On this panoramic section the path temporarily flattens, then returns to the forest, where we follow the blazes. Initially a poorly visible footpath soon widens, then ascends transversely to the left, where higher it leads along a steeper slope. When after a few minutes the path flattens, we already see the pasture fence in front of us, which we cross, then we are already at Prevala, where on the left, by the cross, we notice the logbook box.
Description and pictures refer to the condition in 2016 (November).
