Route description:
From the parking spot, we first walk to the church of St. Michael and circle it along the lower left side, following the trail markers and at the beginning also the signs for Gozdna pot and Pot suverenosti; at a small junction there are also mountaineering signs for Velika bukva and Pečice.
A short traverse ascent follows along a narrower asphalt road, where if we step a few steps to the left side off the path, a wonderful view of Pišece opens up; a little further, at the chapel, we turn sharply right.
The path continues past a small museum, the asphalt road soon enters the forest and a small valley, which we leave, continuing left following the signs for Pečice. A few minutes of steep ascent through the forest follow, then we reach a forested ridge where the path levels out somewhat, and we continue following Knafelčev trail markers. Higher up we reach a somewhat better-trodden path starting at the pond or Grad Pišece; we keep slightly to the right, continuing along the marked path and taking care not to veer right onto Gozdna pot Pišece. A moderate ascent through the forest follows, climbing along the indistinct ridge of Velika Vagla; when the path reaches its highest point, the summit of Velika Vagla is to the right, just three steps off the path.
A short descent follows and we soon reach the turning area of a forest road, which we just cross (left unmarked road (shortcut) towards Velika bukva or Bivak LD Pišece), then we begin ascending towards Veliki vrh, which we reach after a few minutes of ascent; the summit is not pronounced and not specially marked, but from it some views open towards the east to southeast.
A bit of easy descent follows along the northeastern ridge of Veliki vrh, a few minutes further we reach a small saddle where we go left downhill towards Velika bukva and Pečice (slightly right Veliki Špiček, two minutes).
A traverse descent follows along the northwestern slopes of Veliki vrh, when we join the previously mentioned road (shortcut), only a few steps remain to the hunting bivouac.
Near the bivouac, paths from the starting point at Ribnik and from Grad Pišece join from the left; we walk along the road for just a few dozen steps, then red mountaineering direction signs for Kerinov spomenik and Pečice direct us right onto the mountaineering path (straight Pot suverenosti), which begins to ascend through the forest. After 15 minutes of ascent we arrive near the summit of Intermedija, where we turn right and in a few steps reach the highest point of the summit, from which some views open through the treetops.
