Gornje Vrapče – junction with trail no. 9 (Risnjak mountain hut)

Trail no. 10 is ideal for hikers and nature enthusiasts who enjoy peace and quiet and want to avoid crowds, as well as for those who like to bring their pets. The trail is beautiful and somewhat neglected, which makes walking along it a real pleasure.

From the Črnomerec bus terminal, take bus line 125 to Gornje Vrapče and get off at the intersection of Vrapčanska road and Horvatnica street. Walk another 50 metres along Vrapčanska road and turn right at the intersection with Kukoljina street. Climb gently up Kukoljina street, which curves to the right and meets Kurirska street. Turn right there, then immediately left, gently uphill alongside an orchard. The hiking trail is wide, and after passing the orchard, continue on a wider well-maintained tractor path. You'll come to a lovely wooden cottage, and just beyond it, the trail intersects with another path. Turn left here and continue gently uphill through the forest on a wider hiking path.

Once again, you'll pass a solitary cottage on the right, after which the path continues toward Brežan hill, which you’ll bypass on the left. The path becomes narrow and climbs to a junction with a tractor road. Turn left here onto the wider tractor road. This junction marks the location of the last isolated cottage on the trail. Continue along the tractor path, which becomes slightly wider and somewhat rutted, though a nice narrow path runs alongside it. The trail narrows again and continues gently uphill, leaving the Vrapče shooting range behind you to the left.

You’ll reach the junction with trail no. 54, which has been decommissioned. Trail no. 54 is poorly marked and very steep in its final section. Hikers no longer use it, and it is no longer maintained or marked. At this junction, turn right onto the wider forest road, which curves around Črni Vrh on the right and continues straight to a junction with the Kustošija gravel road. After you pass the gravel road, continue uphill along the left side of Gverino hill. As the tractor road gradually becomes a hiking path, you'll walk the rest of the way along a stunning mountain trail. It is narrow, winds through beautiful forest and slowly ascends toward the junction with trail no. 9, where trail no. 10 ends. The long final part of the route is especially scenic. At the very end, there is a short climb to the junction with trail no. 9. From the junction, turn left uphill and continue to the Risnjak mountain hut. This final segment takes about 50 more minutes and is described under trail no. 9.
