Starting from the village of Vrata, the trail continues below the Plasa viewpoint. For the first 2.5 kilometres, it takes you uphill via an asphalt road, after which a right turn lands you on a gravel path, which continues through a forest to the village of Donja Slavica. The trail passes underneath the Velika Slavica peak, which can be reached by following a short hiking trail. At the end of the gravel path, by the water reservoir, the trail turns left onto the old Caroline road leading to the village of Donja Slavica and, further along, toward the village of Vrata. If you are willing and able, you can keep cycling until the route takes you to the stone ruins of the village of Gornja Slavica and the stone pillar ruins of the old bridge across the Caroline road. In that case, you will need to turn right by the water reservoir and ride about two kilometres to reach the site. When returning to Vrata, take the gravel path by the Educational Mountain Garden, which follows the pipeline route back to the starting point.

The trail is moderately demanding, with a long, moderately demanding ascent at the start and a rather steep decline at the village of Donja Slavica.
