Route description:
From the starting point, continue along the road past the Perun inn and soon a sign directs us right onto the path. After a short ascent between houses, it leads us to a junction next to which there is a chapel. The marked path goes left, but we continue right into a short stretch of forest. The path from here on is marked only with the K sign. After about 10 minutes of uneven ascent on a fairly rocky path, we arrive at the chapel and church of the Holy Cross at Kalvarija.
We bypass the church on the left side and continue along the path that leads along a dry-stone wall. The path gently ascends through the forest. Further on, the forest thins somewhat and we reach a small clearing, where the path slightly descends. The first views open towards the Učka ridge and the sea. After a short ascent, we step back onto the marked path and to the chapel of Christ the King in the hamlet of Marići. Then we step onto the asphalt road, which leads us through a restricted settlement. After a longer ascent, we briefly leave the road and go via a marked shortcut back to the road and into the hamlet of Mihani. Signs direct us right onto the path. We bypass the last house on the left and enter the forest. The path gently ascends to the road, where there is a marked junction. Straight ahead leads to Perun and further towards the Učka ridge. We continue left towards Kremenjak. The road gently descends and makes a bend, then the markers direct us right onto the ascending path. After a short ascent, the path turns left and ascends transversely along the slope. After about half an hour of walking, the path levels out and enters a small valley. The path gently descends and we walk for some time along the bottom of the valley, then it turns left. Soon we step onto the road, which we follow right, and after a few steps a sign directs us left onto the path, which first ascends steeply, then makes a serpentine. The path then crosses towards the Učka ridge. After 15 minutes, we reach a marked junction. Right leads to the Planinsko zavetišče Kremenjak, Brguda and Vojak. We continue straight towards Kremenjak and Sisola. The path becomes somewhat more rocky. After 10 minutes of scenic ascent, we step onto the panoramic summit of Kremenjak. The summit has a border marker and a logbook.
