Torna, Babin or Babji Zub (2,277 m) is the highest peak of the Sinjavina mountain range. The asphalt road leading from the center of Kolasin 13.9 km long. After about 2 km on the main road Kolasin-Mojkovac-Bijelo Polje, you reach an intersection in Bakovici, where you turn left onto the asphalt local road heading towards the village of Lipovo.
The trail begins at the junction in the settlement of Gornje Lipovo, where a gravel road branches off to the left from the Kolašin–Vratlo road. The trail follows the aforementioned road for about 400 metres, to the last house in the hamlet, then continues along a forest track for the next 1.3 kilometres, mostly through the forest, to the Katunina site. Passing through a dense forest, the trail emerges onto grassy meadows and then enters a steep, wide glacial valley, covered in scree, which it ascends in switchbacks for the next 700m to the pass. After crossing the pass, the path gently ascends for the next 1.2 km, crossing the south-western slope of Torne, initially over predominantly grassy ground and later on scree.
The final ascent of about 600 m follows a direct route up the southern slope of Törne. This section of the trail is the toughest and most demanding, as it is quite steep and involves an elevation gain of around 250 m. On this section of the trail, there is a risk of rockfall when moving in larger groups, so extra caution is required when passing through this section.
For the last few tenth meters before reaching the summit, using your hands for support is advisable. The summit is rocky, relatively small in area but safe.
It is not recommended to approach the edge of the summit or to cross over lower peaks or descend toward the Sto mountain pass Lokvice
