The route is circular, and you can choose between two versions: shorter (1.3 kilometers) and longer (3 kilometers) - follow the signs of the birch leaf. 11 stands are equipped with boards, where the forest and its components are represented: tree species or trees, undergrowth, medicinal plants, water regime, forest soils, connectivity of forest and animal world, and geological basis.

Permanent benchmark
Along the railway line Ruše-Fala, at the milestone 15.3, in the stable gneiss wall, there is a permanent benchmark with a Latin inscription. Of all the benchmarks in the former Austria-Hungary, only this one was preserved in the territory of Slovenia. It is still used today to determine land movements over a longer period of time (over 100 years) and to determine precise altitudes. The permanent benchmark in the Smolnik settlement in the Municipality of Ruše is the starting point of the height surveying network in the Republic of Slovenia. Due to its location right next to the railway line, the Smolnik benchmark is probably less known and is poorly promoted as a tourist facility, despite its huge historical value.
Path along the magical Lobnica
At the stream Lobnica, the Pohorje old-growth forest extends (steep right slope above the Lobnica), where beech, spruce and fir and rare plants found their secret shelter. Since the path goes along the valley, which was created by the Lobnica stream, it is not difficult to stick to it. The path leads you along a slightly uphill forest road along the left bank of the Lobnica stream. The longest water slide in Slovenia was held along the entire route - the Lobnica water slide (17 kilometers long, operated from 1838 to 1959). Following the path, you will reach the forest and waterfall Šumik.
