Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Koper we go to the exit Postojna and follow the road ahead in the direction of Pivka. In the settlement Pivka we leave the main road which runs towards Ilirska Bistrica and we continue driving towards Knežak. We follow this road to the village Parje, where we turn left in the direction of village Palčje and Jurišče. Mostly slightly ascending road, we then follow to the village Jurišče, where we park nearby the information board.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue past a smaller memory park on the road in the direction of Kršičevec. The road which soon loses an asphalt covering quickly brings us to a smaller crossroad, where we continue on the left bottom road (by right road is situated a smaller cross), which continues on the left side of the fence. Only a little further, we come on a well-marked crossing, where the path towards Bele stene and Spodmol branches off to the left (straight Kršičevec).
We continue in the direction of Bele stene on a cart track which crosses extensive grassy slopes. Further, we cross a smaller macadam road and only a little later we step on other wider macadam road which we follow to the right. The mentioned road, we follow only few steps, because soon blazes point us to the left on a cart track which is at first ascending parallel with the road, and then passes over by the foot of the mountain Jerusi on which there are Bele stene and Spodmol.
After few minutes of additional walking, the blazes point us a little more to the left on a quite overgrown footpath which starts ascending through a dense forest. Higher, we come to a smaller clearing on which path continues steep upwards. On the top of this ascent we step on abandoned cart track which in a gentle descent, we follow towards the right. Only a little further blazes point us sharply left on the path which again starts ascending steeper and then quickly brings us to Spodmol. Only few meters ahead we also come to eponymous cave, and then we continue the ascent on a relatively gently sloping path, which after few minutes of additional walking brings us to a viewpoint Bele stene.
On the way: Spodmol (825m)
