Path description:
From the starting point, we go on the road which continues along a smaller stream (direction Kopitnik). The road quickly brings us to the nearby residential house, behind which it changes into a moderately steep mountain path. We continue for a short time still along the stream, then the blazes direct us right onto the slope over which we start ascending more steeply. A little higher the path brings us out of the forest, then past a cross and the next residential house brings us to an asphalt road. We follow the road uphill, then at the next intersection right in the direction of Kopitnik. A few minutes we still continue on the road, then we arrive at a marked junction.
At the junction leave the asphalt road and continue right on a footpath in the direction "Kopitnik - koča" (straight Kopitnik and Stražnik). The path ahead ascends transversely towards the right, soon flattens and joins the worse forest road which we follow to its end.
From the end of the road continue on a well-beaten path which begins moderately to occasionally steeply ascending through the forest. Higher the path leads us by the "fields" of wild garlic, then joins the cart track which we follow to the right. The cart track soon turns quite to the right and ascends transversely onto a less steep slope, where we reach the edge of the forest. Here the path turns to the left and gradually widens into a macadam road. A little further from the right the path from Šmarjeta joins, we continue straight to the nearby homestead on Izeri.
At the homestead the road becomes asphalt, we walk on it only a few meters, then the inscription on the tree "koča" directs us left into the forest. Further we ascend for a short time through the forest, then join the path from the villages Marno and Turje. From the junction ahead we step out of the forest, and the gentle path which continues across a larger meadow brings us in a few minutes to Koča na Kopitniku.
