A 2692m high summit, which is easily reached from the Maljovica hut. The summit is much less frequented than the Maljovica. Highly recommended, but the climb is exhausting.

The tour was absolutely fantastic with very beautiful panoramas. In total, it took 8.5 hours with two children (9 and 11). Should only be undertaken in good weather; some passages are not without danger.
