Vrbiški dol - Srednji vrh at Kozlek

Access to starting point:
From the highway Ljubljana - Koper, we take the Postojna exit and follow the road ahead in the direction of Reka and Ilirska Bistrica. In Ilirska Bistrica, the road towards Sviščaki branches off sharply to the left. We continue driving towards Sviščaki and park on the parking lot at the road marker between 7.5 and 8 km.

Route description:
From the parking lot, we continue on the road ahead, which after 50 meters brings us to the mountain signposts for Kozlek. Here we continue right slightly downwards on a macadam road, which we follow for a good 10 minutes to the spot where the path branches off to the right towards Kozlek. The well-marked path towards Kozlek soon turns and starts ascending. Just a little further ahead, the path from the village Jablanica joins us from the right. Further, we continue on the path, which moderately ascends along the forest-covered ridge. Soon we come to panoramic slopes, from which a beautiful view opens up towards the south, and towards the east we already see the scenic Srednji vrh, which is the forepeak of Kozjek. Here the path descends for a short time, then in a moderate ascent through the forest brings us to Srednji vrh.

The trip can be extended to the following destinations: Koča na Kozleku ( 20 min)
