Path description:
From the hunting cottage Lipovec we go on the right road which continues by the river Sotla. For some time we are gently ascending by the river and the national border, and then signs for source of Sotla point us sharply to the left, on the road which starts ascending steeper. Next follows a diagonal ascent towards the left, and at the hunting observatory, which is situated a little left from the path, the road turns sharply right. Further we are then for some time still ascending diagonally, at first towards the right, and then towards the left, and when the path once again turns to the right we get on an indistinct ridge, where a view opens up a little in the direction of Croatia. On the road which continues through the forest we continue to the area named Pri češnji, where from the left joins also the western path.
Here we leave the road and we continue straight on a cart track, by which there are signs for source of Sotla.
Few minutes ahead, the path once again splits, and we choose the slightly right path (slightly left - Rudijev dom and Donačka gora), which is further ascending diagonally towards the right. A little higher signs for source of Sotla from the cart track point us to the right, on a footpath, on which in a minute of additional walking, we descend to the source of Sotla.
