no water anywhere on the route: carry all of it from the hut
The road to the trailhead is makadam (gravel). It is not a road for small passenger cars. A couple of older ones were seen on it, but most traffic is jeeps and higher SUVs. Park at planinarski dom Kruzi.[1]
Two routes run from the hut to the summit, and both are marked excellently from start to finish. That makes a loop possible. We went up the left-hand route and came down the other.
The left-hand route does not head straight at the hill. It climbs more gradually and reaches the summit from the left, up the slope. The final climb is still fairly steep, but it is easier than the direct line. It is perhaps 1 km longer and less monotonous.
There is good 4G on the summit.
The descent on the direct route is very steep. Watch where every foot goes.
There is no water anywhere on the route, so carry everything you need. Signal is available almost everywhere. It is weaker in places, varying between 2G and 4G, but mostly usable.
Planinarski dom "Kruzi" (1265 m) is on Krug planina, at Radetine košare, and belongs to Pl. društvo "Cincar" Livno. It has 45 beds. A "zimska soba" (winter room) with a fireplace is always open. The hut opens by announcement. Nearby is a well with drinking water that dries up in big droughts. Izvor Kamenica, 7-8 minutes east of the hut, never dries. From Livno, take the road toward Glamoč/Bosansko Grahovo for 4 km and turn right at the sign for the hut. After 1 km of asphalt, turn right onto 9 km of gravel to the hut (about 14 km, 40 minutes). An alternative route through Zastinje is about 12 km. Contact: +387 63 481 659 (Darko), +387 63 677 279 (Tonka). ↩

At the planinarski dom (mountain hut). The gravel road suits jeeps and higher SUVs, not small cars.
