As you make your way further into the hike, you'll reach Jalovec peak, standing majestically at 5.37 kilometers from the start of the trail. The trail then continues to Veliki Ozebnik peak, located 4.49 kilometers from the start. Be prepared for some challenging terrain as you ascend to these peaks.

Midway through the hike, you'll encounter "Jalovško sedelce," a saddle point that offers breathtaking views of the surroundings. Continuing on, you'll reach Mali Jalovec peak at 5.66 kilometers from the start, providing a sense of accomplishment for reaching the summit.

It's important to note that "Škrbina v Prode," another saddle point, is slightly off the trail at the same distance as Mali Jalovec peak. This section may require some off-trail navigation skills.

Throughout the hike, be sure to stay hydrated, carry enough water, and pack some snacks to keep your energy levels up. Additionally, checking the weather forecast before heading out is always a good idea to ensure a safe and enjoyable hiking experience.
