Path description:
From the starting point, continue along the wide tourist trail in the direction of Waterfall Podkanjski slap and Obirje. At first, the path climbs in a few serpentines, then after a short scenic part, the path turns into a forest and narrows slightly. After a few minutes of further walking, the marked path to Obir branches off from the wide path to the right, and we continue straight ahead and after a minute of further walking we reach a well-maintained lookout point at the Podkanjski waterfall.
Description and pictures refer to the situation in 2017 (August).
