Then the asphalt road stops and macadam begins. Just follow the trail and search for the markings. This path has a slightly better marks.

It takes 40 minutes from the church to the top. The trail is not demanding, the only ascent is just below the summit, but it is not strenuous. From Golubac, you will see the most of Divcibare peaks, including Ljuti krs (962 m), Crni vrh (1096 m) and Velika pleca (1050 m).
