The starting point of the mountain bike route is the crossroad near the sport hall in Podsused. Follow the north west course on the street labeled as Chapel Sv. Martin. From the crossroad follow the hiking red/white labels. After about 150 meters on the crossroad turn left and than after about 500 meters on the next crossroad turn right on the street named Jagodište. The climb starts from this point. On the next crossroads follow the hiking labels and after about 500 meters the paved road turns into unpaved road. After 1 km the unpaved road turns into mixed singletrack and the carriageway. On some sections there is a steep ascent. After about 3,2 km there is the junction of the labeled trails. Turn left on the trail to Kameni Svati. After about 1km of the steep ascent there is the junction with the unlabeled trail. Turn sharp right on the carriageway, proceed first to the east than after 150 meters to the east north course. The steep ascent proceeds to the next junction with the labeled trail. Turn left and follow the trail straight to the opened hiking hut. In front of the hut turn right and follow the labeled trail to Risnjak Hut. On the next junction turn right to Ponikve plateau. Near the trail, on the right side there is a spring of water named Jambrešakovo Vrelo. Few meters after the spring turn left on the labeled trail for Ponikve plateau.
