Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Koper we go to the exit Kozina and follow a road ahead in the direction of Reka. Only a little after the settlement Materija, we will notice signs for Skadanščina, which point us to the right on narrower and in the last part also ascending road. At the smaller crossroad in the middle of Skadanščina we continue slightly right, and we continue driving through the village. We follow this road past a smaller sports field, and then we park on one of the parking lots by the road.
Path description:
From the starting point, we continue on the road by which we've parked, and it quickly brings us to a smaller triangular crossroad. At the mentioned crossroad, we go straight and we continue the ascent on a worse macadam road which quickly brings us to a bigger turning point. We continue on a wide cart track which at first moderately descends, and then it continues without large changes in altitude. After approximately half an hour of walking, we get to a bigger watering place for animals, where we also step on a macadam road. We follow the mentioned road to the left, and it soon turns a little to the right and then it is ascending diagonally towards the west. After few minutes of the ascent on the road, we will on a tree notice signs, which point us to the left on a footpath (by the crossing there is also a metal pole, on which used to be hiking signposts), and if we continue straight we will come on the mountain pasture Jegno (ascent on Slavnik is possible also through the mentioned mountain pasture).
The path ahead ascends on a footpath, and then again joins the forest road. The road by which we notice few blazes we follow slightly upwards, and we walk there only few minutes, and then blazes point us to the left on a pleasant footpath. Follows few minutes of easy walking on partly grassy slopes, and then we cross a little wider cart track. We continue on a poorly visible path, by which we notice numerous blurred blazes (few blazes are still there). The path ahead gradually starts ascending steeper, and higher brings us to a forest road. We follow the road to the right, but we walk there only few steps, and then poorly visible blazes point us to the left on an ascending footpath. The path ahead at first steeply ascends, and then turns to the left, where it flattens a little. Then follows few minutes of a diagonal ascent towards the left and then the path comes out of the forest on a grassy slope, on which we in few minutes ascend to the road which leads on Slavnik. When we step on the road, we continue to the left, and in front of us, we already notice the peak of Slavnik, to which we can ascend on the already mentioned road, or on a little shorter footpath.
