Jablanica - Srednji vrh at Kozlek

Access to the starting point:
From the Ljubljana - Koper motorway, take the Postojna exit and follow the road towards Rijeka and Ilirska Bistrica. At the end of Ilirska Bistrica turn left towards the villages of Vrbovo, Jablanica and Trpčane. Continue past the villages Jasen, Vrbovo and Vrbica. Just after the village Vrbica turn left onto a dirt road, which after 30m leads to a village road, where you continue to the right. Continue for a few dozen metres to a roadside parking lot, which is located in front of a small bridge.

Path description:
From the parking lot, cross the little bridge and along the road you will see the mountain signs for the castle and Kozlek. The markings direct us left to cart track, which soon has an unmarked crossroads where we continue right into the forest. The path along which we soon see the markings leads us past the ruins of a former church, where we again see the markings for the castle and Kozlek. Continue along the less well-trodden path, which leads us slightly higher to cart track, which we follow to the ruins of the former castle. Further on, cart track soon turns into a path which climbs steeply, on slopes which are sometimes overloked. A little higher up, the path joins the path from Vrbiška dol. Here, continue right on the path, which climbs moderately along a woded ridge. Soon you will reach the viewing slopes, which offer a beautiful view to the south, and to the east you can already see the Srednji vrh, which is the summit of Kozjek. Here the path descends for a short time, and then, in a moderate ascent through the forest, leads us to Srednji vrh.
