Planiniski dom ForticaSafety information
- Be aware of the mine field left of the trail towards Ruište.
- No water source from the trailhead to Orlinka all the way to Ruište.
- Trail is overgrown, badly maintained and therefor not always easy to find.
- Due to fires the trail blazers disappeared. I had to descend to the road, because I could not find the path to Orlinka.
