Access to the starting point:
From Ljubljana, take the motorway to Koper and take the Unec exit. At the junction, turn right in the route Mountain pasture, where you will take a sharp left at the junction towards Postojna (you can also take the old road to get here). Continue through Mountain pasture and turn right at the place where you will see the signs for Strmca and Studeno (you can also take the old road to get here). Continue through Mountain pasture and at the place where you will see signs for Strmca and Studeno, turn right. The road soon leads to the next crossroads, where it says Postojna on the left, Strmca and Studeno on the right, and nothing on the right. Turn right here (towards the quarry) and drive only 30m to where a worse road branches off to the left, along which we park.
From Postojna take the old road towards Ljubljana. Shortly after the village of Mačkovec, the road to Strmca turns sharp right and turns left. This road then soon leads to the next crossroads, where you continue straight towards the quarry. Do not follow this road to the quarry as after 30m we leave it, because we turn left onto a worse road along which we park.
Path description:
From the parking lot, continue along the worse road, but only as far as a small concrete "building". Here, cart track branches off to the right and after a few metres climbs steeply. The cart track, which runs through the forest, is very steep at the beginning, but the steepness eases after a few minutes. This is followed by a moderate climb up cart track, which after a while joins another wider one. Here continue left on cart track, which climbs slightly and after a few minutes joins the next cart track, which is almost a worse road. Here you can see some old military tunnels along the way. This road then leads quickly to the Church of St Mary. At the church we see a wide dirt road which we start to climb. After a few dozen metres, a wide unmarked path branches off to the left, which leads us in less than 10 minutes of moderate ascent, partly through the forest and partly across the meadow to the hunting lodge.
