We start going up on the steep narrow path next to the information board. It's a mix of dirt, tree roots, and exposed rock.

To the sawmill

15:19 - 15:19 (0s)

The path gets less steep brings us to a fork where we can choose between the easy path (lažja pot) and an unnamed path which I assume is the harder path. We choose the easy path and make our way to the sawmill.

On to Mali Lubnik

15:19 - 15:19 (0s)

We take a slightly different path back down from Lubnik back to the 1000 meter sign, and then continue onto my favorite part of this hike: a narrow path on the ridge to Mali Lubnik.
