Route description:
From the starting point, we continue on the macadam road, which initially ascends gently through the forest. The forest soon changes into bushes, and the road, which slowly turns to the right, brings us to a marked junction, where we continue on the right road in the direction of Stari tabor (left Lokev and Strmec). From the junction onwards we continue on a quite gentle road, which soon brings us to the next junction. This time we continue left in the direction of the harder path to Stari tabor (straight ahead: easier path) and continue the path for a short time on an increasingly poor road. After a few minutes of further walking, the blazes direct us right onto a slightly overgrown and initially harder-to-follow footpath. There follow a few successive forks, where we carefully follow the blazes, then the path brings us to a cart track, which we follow to the left. For a short time we continue on the wider cart track, then continue right on a marked footpath, which soon joins another poorer cart track. A little further, we also leave this cart track and continue on a steeper path, which then ascends through low forest. Further on, the well-marked path brings us higher below the summit of Stari tabor, where it splits into two parts.
The right path ascends a short rocky section with the aid of some steel cables (undemanding), the left avoids the short steep part and joins the path from the village of Lokev just a few meters below the summit.

The trip can be extended to the following destinations: Stari tabor

We recommend: trips from the same starting point, similar trips, panorama, summit register
