Gradi\u0161te-Gradi\u0161ta, Vranova Glava (2,215 m a.s.l.), is the second-highest peak of Mount Sinjavin, immediately after Torn (2,277 m a.s.l.). The access road to Vranova Glava (Gradi\u0161te) is 16.3 km long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After about 2 km on the main road Kolain-Mojkovac-Bijelo Polje, you reach an intersection in the village of Bakovii, where you turn left onto an asphalt local road leading toward the village of Lipovo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Up to the Vratlo pass (1,737 m), the trail follows partly shortcuts and an old shepherd's path, which shortens the route by a couple of kilometres, as a gravel road continues in the direction of the pass. About 400 m from the Vratlo pass, you will come to a crossroads near a hollow called Smrdan, where there is a livestock watering trough and a small circular reservoir, from which the path continues towards Je\u010dmen do, Gradi\u0161te (Vranova Glava), Potrk and Krnja Jela (\u0160avnik municipality), you should turn left, while the path to the right continues towards Grkovo (Jablanov vrh) and on towards Ru\u017eica. From Smrdan to the Je\u010dmen do shepherd's hut is only about 300 m. The final ascent begins from the last hut at Je\u010dmen do, in the direction of the Vranova glava peak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After passing the first half of the trail from Je\u010dmen Dol, you arrive above a spacious cove with a small pool. The trail climbs the slope to the right of the cove. From that hollow, the trail ascends steeply up the scree towards the pass, which is the toughest part of the route.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Upon emerging onto the pass, there is an extraordinary view of the neighbouring peak Torna (Babin Zub), as well as of the beautiful grassy slopes of Gradi\u0161te, which descend steeply to the south.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From the pass, head right towards the highest summit of Gradi\u0161te \u2013 Vranova Glava. Sloping upwards along a grassy slope, you can reach the summit without much difficulty. The summit is stony and grassy, spacious and safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
By using a fairly good motor vehicle along the continuation of the access road described above, it is possible to reach the Je\u010dmen do hut at 1,730 m a.s.l., which makes the ascent to the summit of Gradi\u0161te (Vranova glava) much easier. In this way, the route can be shortened by approximately 3.6 km and the vertical difference reduced by about 370 m.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
