Path description:
From the center of Podbrdo we continue by the main road towards Železniki, where the path at first leads past the kindergarten and primary school Simon Kos Podbrdo. Some 10 m ahead, at the smaller crossroad we continue left towards the parish church of St. Miklavž in Podbrdo, where opposite the TIC Podbrdo we notice the first mountain signposts for Bača pri Podbrdu and Vrh Bače (nearby are also signs for the mountain marathon of 4 municipalities (GM4O)). A little further, the road on which we walk turns a little to the left over a small bridge (straight cemetery) and starts ascending diagonally above the riverbed of the Bača River. Asphalt soon ends, and the road after a wooden shrine brings us to a marked junction, where a marked footpath branches off to the left, and we still continue on the road, by which there are still signs for GM4O. On a smaller flat area the road turns right and splits into two parts. On the left path (at first road) it is possible to come to the settlement Bača pri Podbrdu, and here as well we continue straight, this time on the road which gradually passes to the left bank of the Bača River. A little further, at the crossroad, by which there are two benches, the route of the path GM4O turns left, and we continue on the right road which continues to ascend diagonally. At the left turn, where the path passes on the southern slopes of Kramarjev grič, from the right also joins a marked footpath from Podbrdo. We still continue on the road which is ascending diagonally, and from it occasionally a view opens up a little towards Podbrdo, Kalarsko brdo and the slopes of Porezen. Higher up the forest ends and the road brings us to the hay meadows of Petrovo Brdo. Behind the hayrack, which we will notice on the left, at the smaller crossroad we continue left. A few steps ahead we step to the parking lot, which is situated below the Retirement Home Petrovo Brdo. At the end of the parking lot, we continue right, and then past the chapel we walk to the main road. We follow the main asphalt road to the left, and it leads through the underpass below the stone or partly also wooden bridge. On the other side of the underpass we continue left and we are already at the Planinski dom na Petrovem Brdu.
