Halmac - Televrina

Access to starting point:
From highway Rupa - Rijeka or Zagreb - Rijeka we drive towards Rijeka, and from there we follow the signs for island Krk. When the highway ends, we descend to Krk Bridge. On island Krk we then follow the signs for island Cres and Lošinj and ferry port Valbiska. At the mentioned port we then go with the ferry to the settlement Merag on island Cres (126 kunas – July 2020). On island Cres we then follow the signs for Mali Lošinj. In the settlement Osor through a smaller bridge we reach island Lošinj. We still follow the main road, near the settlement Nerezine to the right a narrow road branches off towards the settlement Halmac. We go on the mentioned road which is further ascending and becomes a macadam. We follow the road to the last houses where on the left side of the road there is a smaller parking lot.

Path description:
From a smaller parking lot we continue on the road also past the last house, and then the road turns in the forest and passes into a footpath. We follow the blazes and the path further leads along the fence mostly towards the north. Here the path is not that steep and occasionally also a view opens up towards the mountain range Osoršćica. We still walk on a mostly gentle path and we follow the signs for Tržić.
The path further few times also slightly ascends and then brings us to a crossing of several paths. To the right lead the paths into the valley towards the camp Lopari and settlement Osor, and we continue on the far left path and we follow the signs for Tržić and Osoršćica. The path then along the stone fence soon brings us to abandoned village Tržić where we will by the path notice some ruins. We still continue straight and the path brings us to a marked crossing where from the right side joins the path from the settlement Osor.
We continue slightly left and follow the signs for mountain hut and the peak Televrina. From the crossing a not very steep path runs towards the west and after approximately 15 minutes brings us to the next marked crossing.
To the right leads a little longer path past the mountain hut, and we continue left where a sign for the peak Televrina point us to. From the crossing, the path runs mostly through the low forest and starts ascending slightly steeper. A little higher we come out of the forest on a slope vegetated with bushes from where a nice view starts opening up also towards the sea and settlement Osor. Next follows an ascent through a lane of a forest and then the path brings us on less vegetated slopes with a very nice view towards the surroundings. Here the path turns a little to the left and is relatively steeply ascending on a slope upwards. Such a path then brings us to the inscription box.
From the inscription box only a short ascent follows to a crossing where we join the macadam road.
To the left leads the road towards the transmitter, right slightly downwards leads the road towards the mountain hut and further into the valley towards the settlement Osor, and we cross the road and we continue on a footpath towards the summit Televrina.
From the crossing, we are ascending on a panoramic slope partly vegetated with low bushes. After that, the path turns slightly to the left and runs by a wide ridge towards the indistinct summit Kalek on which there is also a bigger cairn. From the top, we still continue towards the south and terrain becomes a little more vegetated, and soon the path brings us into a low forest where there is a marked crossing.
Right downwards leads the path towards the cave Vela jama, and we continue further on the ridge towards the summit Televrina. Further, the path still runs on the ridge and crosses few more lanes of a low forest. Later we withdraw from the ridge on the right side and the path brings us to a short secured path named »Slovenčica«. The secured path is very short and isn't very demanding. The path then again brings us on the ridge which we then follow all the way to the top of Televrina.
In the summer months on the path it is very hot, therefore it is recommended to go on this tour very early, it is also necessary to have enough drinks with you.
