Route description:
From the parking lot near the bridge over the river Paka we continue on the road past the quarry. Above the quarry we get to the first homesteads. Then we leave the road and turn left onto the mountain path.
First we go up stairs, then across a steep meadow. We come back to the road and after 10 m leave it again and turn left into the forest. The path takes us along a steep, root-covered trail overgrown with pine forest. We cross a forest clearing and come back to the road.
From here we follow the road to a junction with signposts. At the junction we turn left towards the plateau Visoko. The cart track brings us after 15 minutes to the top of the grassy plateau Visoko.

The trip can be extended to the following destinations: Plakopec (Brezejec) ( 15 min)
