Narin - Sveti Martin (Šilentabor)

Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Koper, we go to the exit Postojna, and then we continue driving in the direction of Ilirska Bistrica. Few kilometers after the settlement Pivka, we will get to a crossroad, where we turn left in the direction of village Šmihel and Narin. In Šmihel we continue straight and we drive for few 100 meters to the village Narin. We can park before the beginning of the village near the church of St. Jakob, or on an appropriate place in the middle of the village.

Path description:
From the church of St. Jakob in Narin, we continue on the asphalt road, on which we quickly get to the center of the village. In the center of the village, we cross the stream Stržen and then we continue slightly right on a marked road which soon splits into two parts. We choose right, further macadam road which starts ascending diagonally. At first through the treetops a nice view opens up on Šilentabor, and the road then turns to the right and it brings us to a marked crossroad. We go left in the direction of Šilentabor and we continue the ascent on a worse macadam road which soon again splits into two parts. We again choose the left path which continues towards Šilentabor and Ratečevo Brdo. It does not take long, when moderately steep path brings us to the next marked crossing. This time as well we choose the left path, and from the road it gradually changes into a cart track, and the latter already after few minutes joins other, a little wider macadam road. We follow the road to the left, and it quickly brings us out of the forest, where we reach a panoramic saddle.
On the saddle, we continue right (left Šlentabor) and after few 10 strides of additional walking, we get to the church of St. Martin.
