Kampel (Kapelca) - Pomjan (Pot Vinka Lovrečiča)

Access to starting point:
We leave the coastal highway at the exit for Pulj, Poreč and Šmarje. We continue driving on the main road towards Šmarje; at the roundabout by the OMV gas station, we leave it and take the exit in the direction of Marezige and Vanganel. We continue towards Vanganel, but only to the intersection, where the road branches off to the right towards the settlement Kampel (before the intersection there is a bus stop Kapelca). We turn right and then park at a suitable place by the intersection.

Route description:
From the starting point, we continue on the asphalt road which leads towards the settlement Kampel, but we leave it still before the mentioned village and continue right in the direction of the local markings. Immediately after the intersection, we go over a small bridge, then for some time we continue on a gently sloping asphalt road, which a few minutes further brings us into the forest. In the forest, we first continue straight ahead, and when the asphalt ends we choose the lower path. Further on, we walk on the macadam road, which we leave at the left bend and continue right in the direction of the Vinka Lovrečiča path to Pomjan. The path continues through the forest, and at the junctions we follow the blazes. Higher up, the path leads us past a small spring, after which we cross a torrent, then there follows some ascent through dense forest. There follows an ascent on a well-maintained path, then we arrive at a marked junction, where we join the path from Šmarje and Strunjan.
We continue towards Pomjan and Marezige, on the path which crosses the slopes to the left. At the junctions we continue straight ahead, or in the direction indicated by the blazes, and from the left the old path also joins us. There follows some more traversing, then we arrive at a scenic section from which a nice view opens up towards Pomjan and the surrounding hills. A little further ahead the path brings us to the first house, behind which we step onto a poorer road, along which we ascend to the centre of the village.
When we reach the asphalt we continue left and walk past the NOB monument to the parish church of St. George in Pomjan. From the church we continue along the road towards Marezige, and at the end of the village, when the road has already descended slightly, we arrive at the viewpoint with a panorama panel.
The description and pictures refer to the situation in 2018 (June).
