Well, in every case you will have to walk... From Prtovc village, you will have to walk 1h, if you walk quick carrying your wing. There are at least 2 other ways to go there : - One from the bottom of the cable wire (who take your wing when a competition is organised here). A little bit shorter than first way. - And the more easy way, is to go by car by the north way and walk 15 minutes to the top. Unfortunately a tempest has destroy partly the way, and roadworks will happen until end of 2006, often blocking this way...
