Pešćine - Sveti Nikola

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 at first a road branches off to the right towards the settlement Halmac. We still continue a few hundred meters on the main road and then signs for Pešćine point us to the right onto a narrower and ascending road. We follow this road to a smaller parking lot by the road where there is also the beginning of the footpath. At the beginning of the path there is also an information board and signposts for Televrina and Sveti Nikola.

Route description:
At the starting point signs for Sveti Nikola and Televrina point us on a footpath. The path at first runs through the low forest and slightly ascends along a stone fence. Further, the path turns a little to the left and occasionally views towards the sea start to open up. The path then for some time ascends diagonally up the slope with somewhat fewer trees and consequently an even better view. A little higher the path brings us into a somewhat denser forest where we reach the resting place named Počivalica Farbecof. Here by the path there are also some benches.
The path here turns to the right and then ascends for quite some time through the forest from which beautiful views towards the settlement Nerezine and island Cres still occasionally open up. Along the well-marked path we then continue all the way to the marked junction a little below the summit of Sveti Nikola.
At the junction we turn left and after a short ascent we reach the summit where there is also the chapel of Saint Nicholas. At the top a very nice view opens up on all sides.

The trip can be extended to the following destinations: Televrina ( 40 min)

We recommend: trips from the same starting point, similar trips, summit register
