In Sora, first the road towards Katarina branches off to the left, and a little ahead also towards Osolnik. In both cases we continue straight and drive to the settlement Gosteče, where we turn left towards the company Avto Lušina, but we drive a good 100 m further to Darja bar, where at the end of the parking lot we park.

Before the Sten tunnel, from the roundabout we take the exit in the direction of the settlement Sora. We then drive through the settlements Hosta and Pungert to the settlement Gosteče, where we turn right towards the company Avto Lušina, but we drive a good 100 m further to Darja bar, where at the end of the parking lot we park.

We then drive through the settlements Hosta and Pungert to the settlement Gosteče, where we turn right towards the company Avto Lušina, but we drive a good 100 m further to Darja bar, where at the end of the parking lot we park.

Route description:
At the end of the parking lot, we continue left over a small bridge, then on the right side of the hayrack and ahead on a beaten footpath which goes into the forest. Through the forest, we at first steeply ascend, then the path flattens a little and continues on and by the ridge. Higher, the footpath splits into a gentle and a steep one, a little ahead they cross each other, and on the ridge Močerada they join again.
Further, the moderately steep path then from the ridge Močerada passes to the ridge Vidmovec, where it also brings us out of the forest. Here on the right side, on a cart track we bypass the nearby house, and when we step on the road, we follow it to the right. We walk a few minutes on the road, then we go left on a footpath which a little further crosses also a somewhat wider road. Next follows again a somewhat steeper ascent through the forest, after which we join the marked path Sora - Osolnik.
We follow the mentioned path to the right, on it in a few minutes of relatively steep ascent we ascend to the summit of Osolnik, where the church of St. Mohor and Fortunat stands.
Description and pictures refer to the condition in 2018 (February).
