Route description:
From Železna vrata we continue on the macadam road in the direction of Trstelj, and we walk along it to the power line. Immediately after the power line we leave the road and continue the ascent left on the marked path, which starts to ascend more steeply. After a few minutes, the path flattens and leads onto panoramic and relatively gentle shady slopes. The path quickly returns to the forest and from the right the path from Renče joins us.
We continue left in the direction of the mountain hut on the path, which soon splits into two parts. We continue slightly right on the marked shortcut, then join a poorer forest road, which we follow to the nearby Stjenkova koča na Trstelju.

The trip can be extended to the following destinations: Trstelj ( 5 min)
