Segment #230 starts from the village of Draginovo and gradually climbs towards a height named Strazha. From that point it goes in eastern direction towards Kaleto (1003 m) where some ruins from the medieval period are found. After Kaleto the route goes in northern direction passing trough a place named Brusovete where you may turn left on #231 and return to Draginovo or continue with a climb towards Vrani Kamak (1000 m). Not far from Vrani Kamak is the intersection with #232 wich goes down towards the valley of Chepinska river and Dolene train station. The last part of this segment will take to the locality of Lakat where there is a beautiful scenery on the high peaks of Alabak and the valley of Chepinska river. To return to Draginovo, you must go back to Vrani Kamak and take an unmarked steep track down. The route is marked with blue triangle.
