Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Koper we go to the exit Divača and we follow the road ahead in the direction of village Lokev and Lipica. The road then quickly brings us in the village Lokev, where we will at the end of the village come to a crossroad, where a road towards the cave Vilenica branches off to the right. We go on this road by which we will soon notice blazes, which point us to the right in the upper part of the village, which is the starting point for our tour. At the spot, where the marked path leaves the road, there aren't any appropriate parking spots (we park above or below the village).
Path description:
The marked path leaves the road at flower shop Cvetličarna Lenka or at the candle shop. The marked path goes at first past the candle shop, and then continues on a cart track surrounded with bushes. And a gently sloping cart track after good 10 minutes of walking, it brings us on a well-marked crossing, where we continue right in the direction of Stari tabor and village Povir (straight cave Vilenica and Lipica) on a cart track which goes into the forest and is further slightly ascending. A well-marked cart track which has few smaller crossings higher changes into a pleasant footpath. The mentioned path, which becomes a little steeper only few meters below the summit joins the path from the village Povir. We continue right and past the cribs (when they are there) in few steps we ascend on a panoramic peak.
