This time we decided to visit Japetić, Oštrc and old town Lipovec. For ascent on Japetić we choose probably easiest way by paved road, and then descended on the side were peregliders go into the air. This is first of our three descents, and it ends near “Šoićeva kuća” (Šoić House). From there we went to Oštrc, and for ascent we used unpaved road which later becomes technical singletrack, we managed to pedal all the way beneath “Ptičji vrh” (“Bird peak”) and from there descended with Hofman put (Hofman trail), and then after 1 km we connected to the same trail that we used for ascent and went for Željezničar hut.

I looked in my folders on computer and found out that I rode year before at the same month on Samoborsko gorje. This route is similar with the year before, but with few modifications. The most important one is that now I rode with friends. The second modification is that i visited Samoborsko gorje with my new bike (which showed as big improvement considering the old bike) , and the third modification is that after reaching Japetić peak we went straight to Oštrc without visiting Pleševica and Okić. We parked our cars at supermarket Konzum near stadium and from there followed the paved road (about 12 km) to Šoićeva kuća (Šoić house) and started ascent to peak Japetić.
