Završje Podbelsko - Čevo (Tafrina staza)

Access to starting point:
From Varaždin we drive on the old road towards Zagreb. In the village Turčin we will just before the ascent notice a signpost for Tužno-Ivanec. Here we go right and we drive through the villages Tomaševec (railway line!), Doljan, Žigrovec and then we get to the village Sveti Ilija. Here we will turn left uphill in the direction of Beletinec (Attention! Straight is the settlement Beretinec). From the hill after the village Sveti Ilija we descend and we continue straight to the village Beletinec, where we will at the end of the village again turn in the direction of Završje Podbelsko. Next follows driving through the village Filipići and we are already in Završje, where we will notice tourist signposts. We drive on a worse road and we park at its beginning, or we drive a little further and we park at a smaller cottage (Čevo is well visited, so the parking lot is often occupied).

Path description:
From the starting point, we go over a small bridge on river Bednja and we turn right towards the west, where the path leads us past an interesting source, which flows into the river Bednja (when we return, or already at the beginning, it is a pleasant refreshment).
We continue on a worse cart track which quickly splits into two parts, where we go slightly right (logically seems left, which higher joins our path). We continue along the river, and a little further past the hunting observatory. The path ahead leads us through a shorter lane of a forest and then we quickly get to a crossing, where another path from the settlement Završje Podbelsko joins. At the crossing, which isn't marked, we will in the direction of straight notice a lonely cottage, and on the right part of a fence of a small bridge on Bednja. We continue left towards the south, where we quickly get to the forest, where there is a cart track which is usually quite muddy. After approximately two minutes we leave the cart track and we continue uphill on a quite steep footpath which leads us on the western slope of Čevo. During the ascent on that steep part we will notice some old faded blazes, and the path higher flattens, and the forest gets thinner. Further, the path again becomes steeper, and higher we join the "right" marked path which leads on Čevo.
On a marked path we walk approximately 5 minutes, and when the path flattens we get to a well visible crossing, from which we continue on an unmarked path.
We continue on a well-beaten unmarked path which continues on the ridge of Čevo. The path ahead leads us through the low forest, and higher also on a little more rocky terrain, where the path leads us past a natural window. At the nearby viewpoint Balkon we return on a marked path, from where there is a nice view towards the north (nearby there is a smaller bivouac, which is locked, and below the projecting roof we can shelter in case of the rain). From here to the top we have few minutes of undemanding path.
Due to the forest there isn't any view, but the peak has a stamp, and the inscription book is now at the viewpoint Malo Čevo.
The path is called "Po Tafru", who is t first person who ran the path in less than 30 minutes.
The path is in the lower part orientationally a little more demanding.
