After a slight incline, there is an area under the Chumin Vrv. At this place there is a mountain church “Sveta Troica”, commonly known as Parumba.

the beech forest, passes near the starting position where paragliders take off. On the lower part, via a wide forest road, the trail descends into the village of Vishni.
