Route description:
From the parking lot at the church on Koprivnik we continue along the road in the direction of Vodnikov razglednik. The road first leads us across a meadow, then after a small bridge we continue slightly left along the road, which is closed to public traffic by a traffic sign. After a short ascent we arrive at the fire station, behind it signs for Vodnikov razglednik direct us to the right road, which first loses its asphalt surface and then turns into a footpath. The path ahead leads us briefly through the forest, then across a hay meadow we reach another asphalt road, which we follow to the right. We walk along the road briefly, then before a lonely house we continue slightly right onto the path that bypasses the house and outbuilding on the right.
When the buildings behind the house end, a path from Jereka joins from the right, and we continue straight onto the path that enters the forest. There follows a few minutes of steeper ascent, aided by a wooden fence (easy), and the path brings us to Vodnikov razglednik.
