Hrpelje - Slavnik

Access to starting point:
From the highway Ljubljana - Koper, we take the exit Kozina and follow the road ahead in the direction of Reka. In Hrpelje, we notice the sign with the inscription "gostilna na Vasi", which directs us right onto the street D. Benčiča-B. We follow this road to the mentioned inn, behind which we turn right. At the end of the village, we continue on a macadam road alongside which we also park (we follow the marked road).

Route description:
From the starting point, we continue on a marked road, which quickly changes into at first a wide cart track. After a few minutes of walking, the cart track splits into two parts, and we continue on the right in the direction of Slavnik. The path, which runs on a cart track surrounded by bushes, after a time starts ascending and higher brings us to a nice viewpoint beside which there is also a pleasant bench.
Further, the path returns into the forest and continues in a diagonal ascent all the way to a marked crossing. Here we continue straight in the direction of Slavnik (right Hrpeljska gora) on the path, which higher joins the forest road and only a little further brings us to the next crossroad. We still continue in the direction of Slavnik (right hunting lodge below Glavica and Hrpeljska gora) on a relatively gentle road, which after a few minutes of additional walking brings us to the hunting cottage Pri Lipi.
We continue walking on the road, which with some shorter ascents and descents brings us to a marked crossing right next to the mountain pasture Jegno. Here we continue right in the direction of Slavnik (left mountain pasture Jegno 5 minutes) on a somewhat more rocky cart track, which higher brings us into the forest, where it also steeply ascends. After a short ascent, the path flattens and brings us out of the forest onto grassy slopes surrounded by bushes (mostly juniper). The path then goes again into the forest, crosses a forest road and then brings us to a marked crossing, where from the right the path from Prešnica joins. We continue left on the wide path, which higher joins the macadam road. We follow this road for a few minutes, and then the blazes direct us left onto a marked path, on which in a few minutes we ascend to the summit of Slavnik, which we already see from the spot where we left the road.
