Access:
On the motorway we go towards Gorenjska region, towards Jesenice until the exit Lesce.  From here we continue towards and through Bled, we pass the settlement Mlino, till the crossroads (intersection), where we turn right (left route would take us to Bohinj). The road begins to descend towards the lake (Njivice), from here we follow the path leading us along the lake towards Zaka. Before Velika Zaka (here is the finish line for boat-races) we notice on the left a gravel road with signs. When we turn on this route we park correctly.

Route on Mala Osojnica
We take the gravel road going uphill; the gravel road later becomes narrower rut that takes us into the woods. We continue on the path till the marked intersection towards Ojstrica; it is located near, on the right side. Still we continue and we reach the rocky top of Ojstrice through two bends. On top there is a bench for resting. From here we continue in the direction of Velika Osojnica, the path gets flatter, but later goes uphill again. At an intersection with a bench, we take the left path (if we take the right path we can go straight to Velika Osojnica). After this we face a slight ascent that takes us to the edge of north-east slope of the hill. Here we go right and soon reach the fenced viewing point with the info board.

Route on Velika Osojnica
When we are on Mala Osojnica there are direction signs towards Velika Osojnica in Ojstrica. We take the route towards Velika Osojnica, where the path descends a bit. On the intersection we continue left towards left and after a few minutes reach another intersection. Directions signs will show us the way towards Velika Osojnica and we follow that path in the woods.  Later the path gets steeper and goes toward right, after the ascent we reach the summit of Velika Osojnica. A bench is waiting for us there and the view on the neighbouring wooden areas. A few minutes of walk into the right from the summit, we reach a viewing point and we can appreciate the view on Lake Bled.
