Jeršiče - Veliki Javornik (Javorniki)

Access to starting point:
A) From the highway Koper - Ljubljana, we take the Postojna exit, then drive towards the center of Postojna. In the mentioned settlement, we will notice signs for Pečno reber and the railway station, which direct us to the right, then approximately 200 m before the railway station we turn left (the crossroad is not marked) onto the road that soon takes us over the highway. On the other side of the highway, we arrive at a crossroad where the road to Stara vas branches off to the right, but we continue in the direction of Javornik and Sveta Trojica. A little further on, at the NOB monument, the road to Pečna reber branches off to the left, and we park here at a suitable spot.
B) From the highway Ljubljana - Koper, we take the Unec exit, then continue driving towards Unec and Cerknica. In the settlement Unec, we leave the main road to Cerknica and continue driving right towards Postojna. We then drive on a somewhat narrower road that runs parallel to the highway. After a few kilometers through the underpass, we arrive on the other side of the highway, and at the first crossroad we continue straight. When we return to the original side of the highway, at the crossroads we continue left, i.e., in the direction of Pečna reber and Sveta Trojica. Soon we arrive at a crossroad where the road to Pečna reber branches off to the left and the road to Sveta Trojica continues to the right; between both roads we will notice the NOB monument. We park at a suitable spot near the crossroad.

Path description:
From the starting point by a smaller NOB memorial park, we continue on the slightly right road in the direction of Sveta Trojica. We continue on the macadam road, from which soon a marked path branches off slightly to the right, initially the road towards Sveta Trojica, but we continue on the upper road which leads along the foot of the Javorniki. Further on, we walk for quite some time on the slightly ascending road, which after a while brings us to a marked crossroad, where to the left the road and marked path towards Javorniki branch off.
We continue on the mentioned road, then at the first left bend we continue right into the forest on the marked footpath, which begins to ascend moderately to steeply. During the ascent, at a few smaller junctions we follow the blazes, then we return to the road and follow it to the right. We walk on the road for a few minutes, then arrive at the spot where the path to Mali Javornik branches off to the left, but we continue on the road, which near the hunting cottage brings us to the crossroad, where we continue on the left upper road. There follow another 10 or so minutes of walking on the moderately ascending road, then we arrive at the next crossroad, where we again continue left, this time on a much worse road. Just a few steps further, we step out of the forest, where there are two stone cottages (Fortin). Here we continue sharply left and continue the ascent on a wide cart track which over Medvedov klanec quickly brings us to the summit of Veliki Javornik.
