Starting from the centre of Mrkopalj, take the Caroline road in the direction of Ravna Gora, to the Poljička Kosa area. Once there, turn left and take the gravel road to the Polane outing spot. Keep cycling to the Črmuž and Petehovac peaks, then cycle down to Sunger via forest and gravel paths.

After a short, but demanding ascent via an asphalt road to Brestova Draga, take the gravel path again. Afterwards, follow the underside of the Rudine area covered in coniferous forest, where you will find the Zagmajna Biathlon Centre and finally, descend toward Mrkopalj.
