Path description:
At Station D, continue slightly left to the north-west (direction Visoki Kanin and Window to Prestreljenik, Prestreljenik to the right). At first, walk on relatively flat terrain, which is still part of the ski slope. The trail here leads past some information boards and then signs direct you to the trail towards Visoki Kanin and Window v Prestreljenik (slightly left Peter Skalar's House on Kanin).
The trail briefly passes over rocky terrain and then, in a slight ascent, crosses the scree and leads us to a crossroads.
Here the path branches off to the right towards the window, and we continue straight on, on a gradually steeper and more difficult path, where we are helped by some fixed safety gear. As the steepness eases we reach the pass to the south of Hudega Vršič, and the path begins to descend. After some 10 steps downhill, you reach a marked crossroads, where you leave the path towards Visoki Kanin and continue left in the direction of Petr Skalar's home on Kanin.
The way forward gradually passes to an initially unmarked ridge, which soon becomes slightly more distinct, and we reach the lookout Vrh Osojnic, where cairn stands, in a moderate ascent after about 10 minutes from the last crossroads.
From Vrh Osojnic we continue on the marked path, which continues along the ridge, and after a few minutes we reach the corner 2348, where the ridge widens and the path starts to descend more visibly along the world of the canyon floors. The marked trail, which descends moderately for the most part, then leads us to the bivouac, from which we are only a few steps away from the mountain home.
