Path description:
From the starting point, we head on the path in the direction of Olševa, St. Lenart and Potočka zijalka. We bypass tourist farm Strevc on the left side, and the path goes above the farm into the forest, where for a short time we continue on a cart track. We quickly reach the macadam road, on which we ascend to a smaller crossroads.
From the crossroads we continue sharply right (straight St. Lenart) and continue the ascent on the macadam road, along which there are no markings. After a few minutes we join the marked path that leads past tourist farm Rogar, and we continue left on the path in the direction of Potočka zijalka, Obel kamen and Govca. Further, we ascend on a well-trodden and gradually steeper path, which higher reaches the state border. There follows a few minutes of steep ascent and from the left the path from Austria joins us.
We continue right and there follows more than 10 minutes of ascent and the path brings us to the archaeological site Potočka zijalka.
We continue on the marked path, which bypasses the cave on the right side and with the help of fixed protections ascends on the right side of a fairly steep gully. A little further with the help of pegs we cross the gully, then we steeply ascend out of the gully. Also further on the path is quite steep, and with every gained elevation meter it becomes more scenic.
On a smaller ridge the path splits, and we continue straight towards Govca (left Obel kamen). There follows crossing of the steep slopes of Olševa, on more exposed sections we are also assisted by some steel cables. Further the path turns left and brings us to a signposted junction.
This time we continue left in the direction towards Obel kamen (straight Govca), where first we cross the slopes to the left, then we begin to ascend steeply. The last part of the ascent before reaching the ridge is technically more demanding and unprotected. Above the short demanding section we reach a scenic ridge, along and beside which we continue all the way to Obel kamen, which we recognize by the border stone No. XXII 1.
From the top we can continue to the cross about 10 minutes away, where there is also the logbook box.
Starting point - Potočka zijalka 1:10, Potočka zijalka - Obel kamen 1:05.
