Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Koper, we go to the exit Unec, and then we continue driving in the direction of Planina. Further, we drive on a little more winding road which we follow to a crossroad, which is situated just before the bridge through the river Unica. Here we turn left and then after 100 meters we park on a parking lot by the castle Hošperk, or Haasberg.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we walk to the nearby crossroad, and from there we continue on the road in the direction of Unška koliševka. The road at first ascends past the house, and then gradually passes into the forest, through which it is moderately ascending. Higher from the right joins also the road from Malni, and we continue left and we are still ascending through the forest. After few minutes of additional walking, the road almost entirely flattens and it brings us to a smaller crossroad, where we continue left. Follows only few 10 meters of walking and the road brings us to the information board at the upper edge of Unška koliševka.
From the information board, we can on the steep path descend to the bottom of the karst sinkhole, or with the help of lamp and a helmet we view the web of the nearby tunnels.
