Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Koper we go to the exit Kozina and follow a road ahead in the direction of Reka. In the village Obrov we turn right in the direction of village Golac. After few kilometers of driving, we come in the mentioned village, where we continue right (straight Zagrad) and the road which at the end of the village becomes a macadam we follow towards Velika vrata. Higher from the left side joins the path from the village Zagrad (access is possible also on this road), and we continue straight and we follow the road to a saddle Velika vrata, where we park (Velika vrata is located at the road sign 8km).
Path description:
From Velika vrata we go right on a cart track in the direction of Slavnik and Velika Plešivica. Only few steps after we left the road, the cart track brings us to grazing area, where the horses are grazing. Here blazes point us over a grazing fence on a grassy slope on which we are then ascending on at first a very poorly visible path. During the ascent through the grazing area, we get some help from the blazes, which are in the lower part quite rare. Higher, the path becomes more distinct and also blazes are more frequent. Then we follow a panoramic path to the top of Velika Plešivica.
