After a small descent, you will head right to the Red Lake. After you pass the Red Lake and after approximately 1000m, you will turn right onto the gravel path that leads you to the lookout at the top of Red Lake. You will return to the same path and descend again on the road, cycling slightly to the branch at the dirt road that leads you to the edge of the canyon Badnjevice, opposite the fortress Badnjevica, which is located on the right side of the canyon. From here you will then return the same way and turn to Proložac Donji. In Proložac you will turn right and enter the canyon Badnjevice, and head to the end of the gravel road.
