Jeršiče - Sveta Trojica

Access to starting point:
A) From highway Koper - Ljubljana we go to the exit Postojna, and then we drive towards the center of Postojna. In the mentioned settlement we will notice signs for Pečna reber and railway station, which point us to the right, after that approximately 200 meters before the railway station we turn left (crossroad isn't marked) on the road which soon leads over the highway. On the other side of the highway we come on a crossroad, where a road towards Stara vas branches off to the right, and we continue in the direction of Javornik and Sveta Trojica. A little further, by the monument of NOB, the road towards Pečna reber branches off to the left, and here on an appropriate place we park.
B) From highway Ljubljana - Koper we go to the exit Unec, and then we continue driving towards Unec and Cerknica. In the settlement Unec we leave the main road towards Cerknica and we continue driving right in the direction of Postojna. Further, we drive on a little narrower road which continues parallel with a highway. When after few kilometers through the underpass we get to the other side of the highway, on first crossroad we continue straight. When we again return on original side of the highway at the crossroads we continue left or in the direction of Pečna reber and Sveta Trojica. When we soon get to a crossroad, where the road towards Pečna reber branches off to the left, and to the right the road continues towards Sveta Trojica, we will between the both roads notice NOB monument. We park on an appropriate place near the crossroad.

Path description:
The described path is currently officially closed, for security reasons because it leads through military polygon (2018/4/10)-
From the crossroad at NOB monument we continue on the bottom right road in the direction of Javorniki and Sveta Trojica (left - Pečna reber). Few strides ahead by the road we notice a sign, that we will continue on the forest road, and we walk there only a minute or two, and then we get to the next crossroad, where otherwise a little ambiguous sign for Sveta Trojica points us on the bottom right road. That we are on the right road quite quickly confirm quite frequent blazes by the path. The path ahead leads us slightly downwards, meanwhile we bypass at first smaller abandoned structure, and behind larger clearing where we continue straight also a little bigger abandoned military structure. After the mentioned structure, the path passes into a more dense forest, which was in the beginning of the year 2014 severely damaged from sleet. The marked path, by which we also notice some signs for Sveta Trojica, gradually starts lightly ascending and takes us in military area, where in the time of military exercises the passage is forbidden and also deadly dangerous. The road which in the meantime already changed into a cart track, then leads us past maintained wooden cottage, and a little further starts ascending diagonally on a moderately steep slope. On smaller clearing a first views open up on Nanos, and a little further when we step out of the forest on a larger grassy slope also towards the surrounding hills, among others also Sveta Trojica, summit of which we could already see during the ascent.
On the part, where we step on the mentioned grassy slope, we also notice signs, that we entered into target area (deadly dangerous), which with a look on heavily damaged ground from grenades or other ordnance isn't hard to notice.
On this part, where in the time of the description stood lonely birch, we run into bigger orientational problem, because on stone, under high grass we notice signs, which from a nice easy to follow footpath point us to the right downwards on at first a poorly visible footpath which starts descending towards the foot of the hill Poček (826 meters). After few 10 meters of descent we catch grassy cart track, on which we descend to the second, a little more rocky cart track which we follow left downwards. Next follows some descent through wide meadows, which are adorned by numerous birches. When lower, by the indistinct saddle Vratca path entirely flattens, at the crossroad, where we reach a wider macadam road we continue left, that is also pointed out by the arrow or trail blaze on a tree. On gentle road, in few minutes we get to the next crossroad, where we continue on the right road in the direction of Sveta Trojica. The road which again starts moderately ascending, quickly brings us to the hunting cottage Lovska koča Trešnja ravan, which is situated few steps from the road to the left.
We continue on the road to the next crossroad, where we go right, and few minutes further, at the next crossroad straight on a marked cart track which ascends a little steeper. Higher, at the turning point we cross another forest road, and then on a still marked path we start relatively steeply ascending on a rocky cart track. After approximately 15 minutes, the steepness decreases and the path brings us on a small saddle between Lonica on the left and Sveta Trojica on the right.
Here we reach a bad forest road which we follow to the right, and there with increasingly beautiful views in few minutes we ascend on a panoramic peak with the church and panorama board.
Description and pictures refer to a condition in the year 2014 (December).
