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 starting point, we return on an asphalt road almost to the beginning of the village (5 minutes), where nearby a cross we notice a signpost, which points us on a footpath in the direction of Bele stene. The path goes immediately in the pine forest through which we are then ascending on a well-marked cart track. Higher, we come to a forest road which we follow only to the hunting observatory, which we will notice on our left (from the road footpath branches off, which already after few steps returns on the road).
Opposite of the hunting observatory we will notice larger clearing and there spruce with nicely visible blaze. We continue over the mentioned clearing behind which, the path goes into a dense forest. This further relatively gently sloping path we then follow all the way to Bele stene.
