Šembije - Ahac

Access to starting point:
A) From a highway Ljubljana - Koper we go to the exit Postojna and follow the road ahead in the direction of Pivka, Reka and Ilirska Bistrica. In the settlement Pivka we leave the main road which runs towards Ilirska Bistrica and we continue driving towards Knežak. Only a little after Knežak, we come to the village Šembije, where we need to pay attention to the first turn-off to the left. So from the main road we turn sharply left and we continue driving on a rough macadam road which we follow approximately 1 km, or more precisely to the signpost "forest road use on your own responsibility". Just before the sign there's enough space, where we can leave the car.
B) We drive to Ilirska Bistrica, and then we continue driving towards Knežak. When we get to Šembije, we need to pay attention to the last right turn off in the village. From the main road, we turn right and we continue driving on a rough macadam road which we follow approximately 1 km, or more precisely to the signpost "forest road use on your own responsibility". Just before the sign there's enough space, where we can leave the car.

Path description:
From the starting point, we continue on a macadam road and we walk there 5 minutes to a smaller crossroad, where a little worse road branches off to the right. We go on the mentioned road which starts ascending diagonally towards the right. When we reach some kind of a ridge, from where a view towards Brkini opens up, the road turns sharply to the left and passes on the other side of the hill. For few minutes we follow the road that is gradually changing into a cart track and it is slowly descending, and then on the left side we will notice the continuation of otherwise relatively badly marked path.
Further, we are ascending on a little more overgrown footpath which in few minutes brings us to the second cart track which we follow to the right. We continue on a gentle cart track which quickly brings us to the edge of steep cliffs, from where a beautiful view opens up. The marked path continues through the forest and a little higher brings us to ample pasture Pečkova dolina. Mentioned pasture, which is guarded by a shepherd dog, we bypass on the right side, and the path behind it turns a little left and from the slopes passes on a plateau. A short descent follows and the path brings us to a macadam road which we follow to the right. On the road, we are for some time gently descending, and then we get to a smaller crossroad near the shooting range Modras. We continue slightly left and the road after few minutes of additional walking brings us to a log cabin Črne njive, where there is a larger meadow and a parking lot.
From the parking lot on Črne njive, we walk to the road which leads towards Sviščaki and we continue the ascent there. The road which is moderately ascending leads us through the forest, and after a good 10 minutes of walking, it brings us to the left turn, at the beginning of which a marked footpath which leads on Ahac branches off to the right. We continue on a marked path, that is gently ascending through the forest and bushes. A little higher on the right side we bypass a small cottage, and the path a little above it joins a relatively new cart track. Next follows few successive crossings, where we carefully follow the blazes (be careful, that we don't get mislead by signs for path Smolarjeva pot). A bit higher, marked path but without blazes from the village Jasen joins from the right side. Here we continue straight as well and then we follow a little steeper path to a nearby peak Ahac, which we reach after 5 minutes of additional walking.
