For those who like Istria and Ćićarija, I'll give a detailed description of the path from Lupoglav to Planik and back ... We start the tour in Lupoglav at the railway station (we park the car here), and via Semić and Brgudac we reach Korita (2 hours walking). At Korita we have a mountain hut available (open on weekends and by reservation). For those who find this too much, it is possible to come by car to Brgudac village, from there cca 30 min walk to Korita. From Korita we continue to the top Škrljavnik (15 min walking) and further to V. Planik (1.5 hours walking from Korita). From V. Planik we first descend to the other side to the saddle between V. and M. Planik, and from there we start descending the forest road to the valley, cca 1 hour walking, before leaving the forest road. Then signposts direct us from the road first to meadows, then to forest towards Semić village, to there less than an hour walking. From Semić village we return by the same path to Lupoglav starting point, cca 20 min walking. Total cca 6 hours walking, 25 km and 1000 meters ascent. And the pictures already show the path description .... and don't forget, now asparagus season, so hurry, after the tour numerous taverns available ... fritaja with asparagus, pljukanci with asparagus and prosciutto, šuga with asparagus and sausages, etc, etc, yummy ... wink

Jedriličar, thanks for a really excellent trail description to V. Planik. Maybe you have in stock also trail descriptions for other Ćićarija peaks: Žbevnica, Orljak and Županj vrh.
Regards

I found something on HPS pages. Croatian peaks - Istria. Which of these peaks do you recommend, or is it possible to visit all in one day.

In one day you can do the following tour: Brgudac - Korita - Županj vrh - Orljak - Lanišće - Brgudac. That's some 4-5 hours easy walking. For Žbevnica the starting point is quite at the other end, in Brest pod Žbevnicom, and from there to the top 1-1.5 hours easy walking. To Brest easiest from Buzet (cca 10 km), or if coming from Slovenia, then go off the motorway at Kastelec exit (right after first tunnel from Kozina to Koper), follow signs to Podgorje village (start for Slavnik) and on to border crossing Jelovice (excellent tavern Lovac). Then continue over Vodice, Dane and at junction go right to Brest pod Žbevnicom (left to Trstenik, Rašpor, Rača vas and Lanišće ...)
