At the crossroads there is a large gravel parking area on both sides of the road, a "house" containing grit (sand for the needs of road maintenance) and a map of the Kočevje Mountain Route. Park in the parking lot. From the centre of Osilnica to the starting point is 8,5 km.

Path description:
On the opposite side of the road to the map of the Kočevje Mountain Route, you can see the marked cart track, which first runs parallel to the road descending towards Osilnica. When the cart track passes into the forest, the road recedes more to the right, and then, after a few minutes' descent, it leads us out of the forest to the edge of Bezgarska mountain pasture. Here you continue straight on and, after a minute or two's walk, you pass a small garden and climb up to a larger hunting observation post, where it is also possible to spend the night.
Description and pictures refer to the situation in 2015 (August).
