About the route

One of the favourite outdoor activities in the Varaždin region is the (regular) climb to this peak, modest in numbers but pretty fierce. You can start in Podevčevo or in Završje Podbelsko. Either way, a steep forest climb awaits you to this legendary summit with two viewpoints offering beautiful views of the Bednja valley.

The start in Završje is the more popular one: the races up Čevo start here, and with its gazebo and barbecues it makes a great resting spot. This route and its track start in Podevčevo.

The route is somewhat more demanding.
