Soon you will arrive to the Adriatic scenic road crossing. Continue straight on and turn right at the crossing towards the highway. Cross over the highway and follow the path right and east. Pass the crossing with D33 that leads to Konjevrate. After that come an ascent below the eastern slopes of the hills with the wine generators.
