Zagrad - Ostrič

Access to starting point:
From the highway Ljubljana - Koper, take the exit Kozina and follow the road ahead in the direction of Reka. In the village Obrov, turn right in the direction of the village Golac, from which we continue driving towards the hamlet Zagrad. In Zagrad, continue left and follow the road, which becomes macadam, to the spot where we notice a sign prohibiting further driving (forest road use at your own risk). Park here on a smaller parking lot by the road.

Route description:
Just a few meters before the traffic sign we notice a cart track which from the road goes to the right and starts at first gently ascending (beginning isn't marked). Soon we notice the first blaze, which shows us that we are on the right path. Further, we moderately ascend on a cart track which higher passes out of the forest onto grassy slopes surrounded by individual trees (mostly pines). The path here flattens and a little further turns slightly to the right, where we also come to a marked junction.
We continue in the direction of Ostrič, Slavnik and Razsušice (left pond 30 minutes) on the path which starts ascending towards the indistinct saddle between Ostrič on the left and less known Griža on the right. We follow this path to the spot where in front of us we will notice a larger sinkhole. Here the cart track continues straight, and the marked footpath turns to the left and starts ascending steeply on an unvegetated slope of Ostrič. We follow this for a short time steeper path all the way to the peak of Ostrič from which a nice view opens up.

The trip can be extended to the following destinations: Medvižica ( 40 min)

We recommend: trips from the same starting point, similar trips, panorama, summit register
