Path description:
From the starting point follow the markings through the village. The road loses the asphalt surface and enters the forest. After 20 minutes of walking the road forks. Continue right to a barely noticeable junction where the path to the hut via Mačkovec branches left. After a few minutes reach a fork and turn slightly right again. The road then becomes a rough cart track. Soon the cart track turns into a trail. Begin a slight ascent through the forest. The path gets lost in places. Emerge from the forest, the path steeply climbs the meadow, the path from Đoline drage joins from the right, and arrive at a "rest area" with a bench. Continue on the path and soon reach the road to the hut. Continue right on the road. With increasingly beautiful views of Orlove stine and towards Maglaj and Kamešnica arrive at the junction before the hut. Continue right, descending slightly to the hut. From the hut continue east towards Orlove stine. The path is less visible here, so follow towards the cliff edge. The path turns left onto the ridge and leads through a short stretch of forest to the precipitous edge. The path leads over a few short exposed rocky steps and with fine views after 15 minutes arrive at the panoramic summit of Orlovih stin.
