Route description:
From the starting point we continue along the right or eastern side of the pond, while a dirt road leads along its western side towards Grad Pišece. We begin the trail on a gravel road along the stream, where a few more parking spots are available. Further on, the road becomes somewhat rougher, then forks.
Slightly to the left a path branches off towards Grad Pišece, but we continue slightly right on the poorer gravel (it is also possible to continue past the castle, but the path is a few minutes longer). We continue ascending along the stream. Soon an unmarked cart track joins us from the left from Grad Pišece, and to the right another unmarked cart track branches off, which further on merges with the marked trail.
We continue uphill along the stream, where the poor road finally turns into a cart track. A bit higher, the Path of Sovereignty joins from the left – a trail marked with the symbol of the Slovenian tolar, which also leads past Grad Pišece.
We continue straight north. The cart track gradually turns into a footpath, which levels out briefly, then ascends more steeply. Beyond the ramsons patch it turns right, moves away from the valley bottom and leads along its head. The path then quickly turns back left and climbs to a forest road, which we reach near the bivouac of the Hunting Association Pišece.
Before the bivouac we go left, then red alpine signposts for Kerinov spomenik and Pečice direct us right onto the alpine trail (straight Path of Sovereignty), which begins to ascend through the forest. After 15 minutes of ascent we arrive near the summit of Intermedija, where we go right and in a few steps reach the highest point of the summit, from which some views open through the treetops.
From the summit we continue on the marked trail, which begins to descend southwestwards, lower down we return to the road and follow it right. A few minutes further we leave the road slightly right and continue with the trail to the right of the road, later cross it and continue on the marked trail which runs to the left of the road. We return to the road at a marked junction of several roads and the marked trail, where we go left towards Kerinov spomenik (right Veliki vrh, Pečice and Grad Podsreda), to which we arrive after one or two minutes of further walking.
We can descend by the same path or by one of the two variants of the Path of Sovereignty, a map is also available at Kerinov spomenik.
