The starting point of the trail is located at the Trg goranskih šumara i drvara (Gorski Kotar Foresters’ and Luggers’ Square) in the Delnice town centre. From there on, take the Supilova Street – the lifeblood of the town – to the crossing with Rački House, the oldest house in Delnice. Afterwards, follow the trail toward the petrol station, then turn left toward Petehovac. After passing through the railway tunnel, you will come across a gentle ascent. Abandon the asphalt road for the gravel path following along the highway. A steep ascent toward the Polane weekend village follows, which often gets scattered by rainfall, so caution is recommended. The trail then passes through gravel and forest paths around the Mali Petehovac peak until it reaches the asphalt road.

Follow the road to Štimac peak and its Petehovac Mountain Lodge for some well-deserved refreshments with the most beautiful view of the town. We also recommend you visit the nearby Jezerka source and Jagodina Stijena, located only around 500 metres from the establishment. A more demanding forest path takes you downhill toward Delnice and the Vučnik area.
