Pivka - Osojnica

Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Koper we go to the exit Postojna and we follow the road ahead towards Ilirska Bistrica. The road then brings us to a crossroad in the village Pivka, where the road branches off to the left to the village Trnje, straight Knežak and right Ilirska Bistrica. Here we continue right but only to the next crossroad, which is distant only 50 meters. In this crossroad we leave the main road and we go right on a side road which is called Pot na Orlek (name of the street). We follow this road to the church in the village in front of which we park on an appropriate place.

Path description:
From the parking lot at the church, we descend on the road which runs parallel with railway. And soon we will on a power line pole notice a blaze, which points us to the left on a narrower road. This narrow road after few steps it brings us to the underpass after which we come to a crossing of two cart tracks. We continue on the right cart track which is gently ascending through large meadows. At the end of the meadow we continue on a path, which is ascending parallel with a fence (straight). The path then starts moderately ascending on the more and more vegetated slope. After additional few minutes, the path goes into the forest, where we again notice a blaze (from underpass to here there aren't any blazes). The path which is mostly ascending on a cart track a little higher brings us to a cross from the year 1894. The path ahead brings us on the secondary peak of Osojnica from which follows a short gentle descent and then moderate ascent to the top.
