Gorenje - Gora (Sveti Lovrenc)

Access to starting point:
A) From highway Koper - Ljubljana we go to the exit Postojna, and then we continue driving in the direction of Postojna. When we reach old road Ljubljana - Koper we continue right and we drive towards the center of Postojna. Few crossroads ahead we turn left in the direction of Postojna cave, Predjama and Studeno. Further, we drive few more kilometers on the main road towards Predjama, and then we continue straight towards Planina and Studeno. On the main road towards Planina we drive good 200 meters and then we turn left in the direction of village Belsko. A little narrower road quickly brings us in Belsko, where at marked crossroad we turn right in the direction of Gorenje. Further, we drive on a little steeper road, on which we soon get to the beginning of Gorenje. Here we turn slightly right and we drive to the center of the village, where we turn once again right. The village quickly ends, and we continue driving good 100 meters and then we park on an appropriate place by the road.
B) From highway Ljubljana - Koper we go to the exit Unec, and then we continue driving towards Planina. On Planina we reach old road Ljubljana - Postojna, and we follow it to the left (to here we can also come from the direction Kalce at Logatec) and we drive there to a crossroad, where signs for Postojna cave point us to the right. At the end of Planina a road a little steeper ascends, and then it flattens and it brings us to the village Lohača. On the main road we drive also through the village Studeno, and then it starts descending steeper. After a short descent, we will get to a crossroad, where we continue right in the direction of village Belsko. A little narrower road quickly brings us in Belsko, where at marked crossroad we turn right in the direction of Gorenje. Further, we drive on a little steeper road, on which we soon get to the beginning of Gorenje. Here we turn slightly right and we drive to the center of the village, where we turn once again right. The village quickly ends, and we continue driving good 100 meters and then we park on an appropriate place by the road.

Path description:
From the starting point, we continue on the road by which we've parked, and already after few meters it splits into two parts. We continue on the right marked road which is then moderately ascending, and higher turns more to the left. Further, we are gently ascending through a panoramic meadow, from where towards the left a view opens up towards Nanos, and towards the right on Gora or Sveti Lovrenc. A little higher we get to a crossroad, by which we notice some signposts.
From the crossroad unmarked gentle path branches off to the left on Gora (Sveti Lovrenc), to the right short road towards the nearby hunting cottage branches off, and we continue straight in the direction of Sveti Lovrenc.
From the crossroad, we short time continue diagonally on the road, and then blazes point us to the left on the path which starts gently ascending through thin pine forest. The path ahead leads us through a meadow, after which passes into the forest and few meters later joins the cart track. For a short time, we are ascending on a cart track, and then the path passes on a little more steep slopes, on which it starts ascending towards the right. The path further leads on a grassy slope, on which we are few minutes relatively steeply ascending. At first, a nice view opens up on Postojna basin, and then the path returns into the forest. Follows few minutes of a moderate ascent and the path brings us to the summit of Sveti Lovrenc.
From the top, we can in two minutes descend also to the near church of St. Lovrenc.
