Path description:
From the beginning of the settlement, cross the asphalt road, which offers beautiful views, and in the middle of the settlement, take a sharp right in the direction of the LO40 cycle path. The path continues past a few houses, and after the settlement the road becomes macadam and turns into a forest. There is a steeper climb through the forest, and at a few small junctions we continue along the wider road. Higher up, the road leads us past a picnic area where two signs stand, and a little further on we reach a place where the western path to Vovar branches off to the right.
Continue along the road and start to climb crosswise up the northern slopes of Vovar, and we follow the road to where it starts to descend.
At the point where the road reaches its highest point, there is a fork to the right, cart track, with signs for Vovar. Continue on cart track, which climbs the north to north-east ridge of Vovar, and higher up, cross some trains, most of which were made after the 2008 windstorm. Higher up, continue on a well-trodden forest track, which you follow all the way to the top, where there are a few benches, a signing-in box with a signing-in book and a stamp, and a bell of wishes.
