Route description:
From the place where we have parked, we first walk to the tourist farm Rogar, from there we continue on the marked path in the direction of Olševa. Above the farm a beautiful view opens up, the path soon enters the forest. We ascend through the forest for a few minutes, then we cross a macadam road, where from the left the path from tourist farm Strevc joins.
We continue in the direction of Potočka zijalka, Obel kamen and Govca. Further we ascend on a well-beaten and gradually steeper path, which higher reaches the state border. There follows a few minutes of steep ascent and from the left joins the path from Austria.
We continue right and there follows more than 10 minutes of ascent and the path brings us to the archaeological site Potočka zijalka.
We continue on the marked path, which bypasses the cave on the right side and with the help of fixed safety gear ascends on the right side of a quite steep gully. A little further with the help of pegs we cross the gully, then we steeply ascend out of the gully. Also further on the path is quite steep, and with every gained elevation meter also more panoramic.
On a small ridge the path splits, we continue straight towards Govca (left Obel kamen). There follows crossing of steep slopes of Olševa, on more exposed parts also some steel cables help us. Further the path turns left and brings us to a marked junction.
This time we continue left in the direction towards Obel kamen (straight Govca), where first we cross the slopes to the left, then we start steeply ascending. The last part of the ascent before reaching the ridge is technically more demanding and is not secured. Above the short demanding part we reach a panoramic ridge, along and beside which we continue all the way to Obel kamen, which we recognize by the border stone with no. XXII 1.
From the top we can continue to the cross approximately 10 minutes away, where there is also a logbook box.
