Narin - Sveti Martin (Šilentabor)

Access to starting point:
From the highway Ljubljana - Koper, we head to the exit Postojna, and then we continue driving in the direction of Ilirska Bistrica. A few kilometers after the place Pivka, we will get to a crossroad, where we turn left in the direction of the villages Šmihel and Narin. In Šmihel we continue straight and we drive another few hundred meters to the village Narin. We can park before the beginning of the village near the church of St. James, or on an appropriate place in the middle of the village.

Route description:
From the church of St. James in Narin, we continue on the asphalt road, on which we quickly get to the center of the village. In the center of the village, we cross the stream Stržen and then we continue slightly right on a marked road, which soon splits into two parts. We choose right, further macadam road which starts ascending diagonally. At first through the treetops a nice view opens up on Šilentabor, and the road then turns to the right and brings us to a marked crossroad. We continue left in the direction of Šilentabor and continue the ascent on an increasingly poor macadam road, which soon again splits into two parts. We again choose the left path which continues towards Šilentabor and Ratečevo Brdo. It does not take long when the moderately steep path brings us to the next marked junction. This time as well we choose the left path, which from the road gradually changes into a cart track, the latter already after a few minutes joins another, somewhat wider macadam road. We follow the road to the left, which quickly brings us out of the forest, where we reach a panoramic saddle.
On the saddle, we continue right (left Šlentabor) and after some ten steps of additional walking, we arrive at the church of St. Martin.
