Cerknica - Dom na Slivnici

Access to starting point:
From the Ljubljana - Koper highway, take the Unec exit and follow the road ahead towards Cerknica. Only a few 100 meters before Cerknica, we will come to a crossroad, where the road towards Begunje and Slivnica branches off to the left. Here we continue straight (not in the direction of Slivnica) on the road, which soon brings us to the center of the settlement. When we drive past the bridge over the river Cerkniščica, we need to pay attention, because only a little further a road which brings us to our starting point branches off to the left. Approximately 50 meters after the discount store Hura, we will on the left side of the road notice signposts for the mountain hut Dom na Slivnici, which point us to the left on an ascending road. After a short ascent, we will notice the beginning of the footpath, and on the opposite side of it we park on the asphalt parking lot.

Path description:
From the parking lot first we cross the road, then we head on the footpath in the direction of the mountain hut Dom na Slivnici. The path first gently ascends through a lane of bushes, then passes into pine forest, where it starts to ascend a little steeper. Higher, we cross some forest roads, after which the path almost entirely flattens. There follows a few minutes' walk through mixed forest, then it joins a worse forest road, which we follow only a few 10 meters. Further, the blazes direct us slightly right into a lane of bushes, and the path then over a grazing fence brings us to the ample grassy slopes of Slivnica. From the gentle path, which further leads us across the mentioned grassy slopes, beautiful views open up on the ridge of Javorniki and Cerkniško polje with Cerkniško jezero. Further, the path passes into a lane of sparse pine forest and starts moderately ascending. When we step out of the forest again, we already see the mountain hut Dom na Slivnici ahead of us, which is only 5 minutes of easy walking away.
