Description of the trail
The trail starts from the village of Jedoarce and passes through the villages Otunje and Setole. Along the asphalt road that ends in the upper part of the village, the trail continues as a mountaineering trail in the direction to the south and moves towards the village of Gjermo. The trail moves through a forest belt with a sparse forest from where several forest roads are opened. When we reach the southwestern ridge that descends from the peak Ploca, we ascend to a height of 1500 meters (above the forest itself) along a wide unpaved road in the direction of the north, and from there, in the northwest/ north direction, we move on a road that leads us to the Sheep Farms "Gjermovski Bachila".
