Osor - 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 all the way to the settlement Osor where over a short swing bridge we reach island Lošinj. Immediately after the bridge we turn right and we park on a smaller parking lot. The mentioned parking lot is often occupied, but we can park already on a large parking lot, which is situated at the roundabout in the settlement Osor approximately 300 meters before the bridge.

Path description:
Immediately behind the bridge, which connects island Cres and Lošinj we go on an ascending road through the camp Preko mosta. At the beginning of the mentioned road we will also notice blazes. After a short ascent the camp ends, and we still continue on the road which further becomes a macadam. By the road there are also blazes and a big signpost with the caption »Osoršćica«.
We continue on the macadam road and we soon get to a marked crossing where the path branches off to the left towards abandoned village Tržić to which there is approximately 20 minutes of walking. We short time still continue on the road, and then signpost for mountain hut and the peak Televrina points us left into the forest.
Further, the path runs mostly through a low forest by the stone fence. To the right then the path branches off towards Mali Tržić, and we continue straight and follow the signs for the mountain hut (planinarski dom). The path then ascends a little and it brings us to a marked crossing.
From the left joins the path from the settlement Nerezine via Tržić, sharply right downwards leads the path to the road, and we continue slightly right and follow the signs for the 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.
