Route description:
From the parking lot, we return a few meters back, and then we head onto the cart track that continues past the water tank. For a short time we continue on the wider cart track, then we continue right into the forest. We continue in the direction of Ključ (straight saddle Prosca and Koreno) and further we ascend on the occasionally steeper tractor track. Higher, another path from the saddle Prosca joins us from the left, and we continue straight on the marked path, which then only gently to moderately ascends. Higher, the path flattens even more, then it slowly starts to descend lightly. The path, which all the time runs through the forest, a little lower also joins the path from Podolnica.
From the junction we continue in the direction of Ključ, and we follow the somewhat steeper path again in the direction of Ključ. Because the path further has a few smaller junctions, we carefully follow the blazes so as not to stray onto any of the numerous unmarked cart tracks. There follows a shorter somewhat steeper ascent and the path brings us to the forest-covered summit of Ključ.
