Route description:
On the asphalt road which goes along the stream we continue in the direction of the settlement Zagaja pri Ponikvi.

Soon we reach a smaller settlement of houses and with good markings we continue through the yard of one of the homesteads on a meadow path. The meadow path passes into a forest path, then leads us past several ponds and through the forest we follow somewhat higher to the chapel. From the chapel we continue through Razbor, left and soon below the road viaduct, where we also cross a smaller watercourse, and pass to the other side of the highway. We continue across a meadow, through the yard of a homestead and along a wooden fence with horses we reach the more substantial part of Vodule.
