Podkilavac - Pakleno (via Kolci, eastern foot of Obruč)

Access to starting point:
From the Rijeka – Zagreb highway, exit at Čavle (3 km from Rijeka). At the traffic light, turn left towards Čavle. Drive about 600 meters to the second traffic light and turn right (towards Zagreb, Grobnik). Drive 650 meters and turn left towards Dražice.
After that, drive 3.9 km to the roundabout on the right side (access via the connecting road, 250 meters from the petrol station). Exit at the second exit. Here begins the marked path (on a tree on the right side of the road is a sign with times to Hahlić and Platak).
Continue along the road for about 550 meters and turn slightly left. After that, continue for 1.8 km to the small bridge.
The car can be left here, or you can continue over the small bridge and take the left road to shorten the route. Along the road, there are occasional marked signs from the pedestrian path that crosses the road. The road leads 5 km to the turnaround.

Path description:
We leave the small bridge on the right side and proceed along the road over the pipeline. The path leads us partly along the road, but at several points, it diverges from the road, shortening our walk. Before the end of the road, we reach a crossroad (left is an easier path, right along the road is harder). We continue along the road, and at the end of the road, there is a turnaround where the path through the forest begins.
The path steeply leads us through a pine forest. Occasionally, through the forest, a beautiful view opens toward Učka, the sea, and Kvarner Bay. After some time, we emerge from the pine forest, and here the view opens in all its beauty. The path further leads through an area with low vegetation, over a small scree, and soon we emerge from the shade onto meadows. We ascend through the meadows for about 20 minutes to a small saddle. After crossing the saddle, a few minutes of walking bring us to several small lakes, their size depending on the amount of rain. A few more minutes of easy walking, and we reach a crossroad (left to Ćunina glava, straight to Obruč, Pakleno, etc., right to Hahlić cottage). We continue straight toward Pakleno, Obruč. After a few minutes, we reach the first crossroad and continue straight toward Obruč, the peaks of Pakleno. Soon we reach another crossroad where we again continue straight (Obruč). After a few minutes, we reach the third crossroad. Here, an easier path from Podkilavac joins. We continue right toward Obruč, Pakleno, Previjak. Soon we reach a crossroad where a steep ridge path to Obruč begins on the left. We continue straight, and after a few minutes at a crossroad, we turn left toward Pakleno H6/H7.
The path leads us at a gentle pace through a beautiful forest. The forest provides pleasant shade, and occasionally the view opens slightly to the surrounding terrain. After about 40 minutes, we emerge onto a forest road and turn left. A few steps further, at a right turn, a path branches off to the peak of Pakleno (left to Pakleno northern peak, Obruč).

The path starts to climb gently, then steeply. We cross a forest logging trail once more, and after a few minutes, we reach the summit.
