Path description:
From the starting point, we return a little back, then at the smaller hamlet we notice signs for the circular path to Osolnik, which direct us onto a side road that changes into a cart track at the entrance into the forest. There follows first a gentle ascent along the stream Mavški graben, then the path becomes steeper, the stream more scenic. Higher, over a small bridge we cross the stream, then from the gully we pass onto the slope. A few minutes of ascent through the forest follow, then along the edge of the hay meadow, where on the left we already see the peak of Osolnik, the path turns right into the forest, where it temporarily flattens completely. There follows a short moderate ascent, then we reach the road, where we join the path from Sora.
We continue left to the nearby crossroads, where at the religious symbol a footpath to Osolnik branches off to the right, and we continue straight ahead along the left road in the direction of the log cabin Osovnik. Soon after the crossroads we step out of the forest and for some time continue with nice views and without major changes in elevation. After crossing a shorter strip of forest we ascend to a smaller saddle, where some houses are situated.
We continue straight downhill (Osolnik peak on the right), then at the first crossroads we turn left to the nearby log cabin Osovnik, to which only a few dozen steps remain.
Description and pictures refer to the condition in 2018 (March).
