Access to starting point:
We leave the highway Ljubljana - Koper at the exit Divača and follow the road further in the direction of the settlements Lokev and Lipica. The road, which is somewhat flat, quickly brings us to the settlement Lokev. We continue in the direction of Lipica and soon reach the crossroad, where the road continues to the right in the direction of the settlement Lipica. Soon after the crossroad we park, somewhere up to the place where there are hiking signposts.
Path description:
At the hiking signposts we continue right in the direction of Vilenica Cave. Karst terrain, the path is undulating. Along the path there is also a karst abyss, pointed out by an inscription on a stone. Soon in the area named Žlebi a path from Lipica joins from the left. We continue on a somewhat wider path, partly a cart track, and soon reach the asphalt road Lokev - Sežana. We cross the road and continue in the direction of the destination. Road signage in the form of a direction signpost and blazes help along the easily followed path/road and in the next few meters we reach the destination, i.e., the point of Vilenica Cave.
The total length of the path from the starting point is around 3300 meters, 55 positive altitude meters and 50 negative altitude meters.
