Route description:
From the parking lot, we head onto the road towards Sveta Katarina, then bypass the church on its lower left side. In front of the fire station and past the sports field, we turn left downwards, beginning our descent along a marked path. We quickly reach an asphalt road, continuing our descent, which leads us past a few houses to a marked crossroad at the saddle between the valley of Potočnikov potok on the left and the valley of Črmenica stream on the right.
From the crossroads, we continue slightly left toward Brezno and Odomovo Lake (straight to Austria, right to Gradišče and Ožbalt) and continue descending; after about 5 minutes of further walking, we arrive at Odomovo Lake.
