Drive to Vela Luka on Korčula, and from there head toward the Hajduk soccer club stadium. Just a short distance further on is the Tommy store, where you can park.

From the parking lot, turn left and continue along the road until you reach the left turn toward Hum, which is marked by a sign. Climb the stairs, then continue uphill along the forest path. The trail then joins a cart track, which soon turns into a gravel road. After a short while, the gravel road becomes paved, and here you turn left. Shortly after the left turn, when the road becomes a gravel road again, you’ll reach a fork; keep to the right. The path begins to climb slightly here and soon becomes paved again. On this section, you’ll notice trail markers on the right pointing to a narrow path, which you’ll take. From here on, follow the trail and the markers. About halfway to the summit, the trail levels off somewhat. Here, a trail branches off to the left toward Humić, but we keep to the right and follow the trail and markings all the way to the summit.
