Banjšice

When I spotted Banjšice in the PD Medvode program, I realized I skipped geography that day, and probably some other subject too.zadrega True though, even Uncle Google ain't chatty on this topic. So had to go check with hikers (35 of us). If names Lohke, Sleme, Kuk, Zgorelec, Veternik, Podlešče, Lužarji... mean anything to you, then you've been here or you're from there. No others. They hid these Banjšice somewhere behind Trnovo plateau and under Sveta gora above Nova Gorica. Plateau world, up and down almost 14 km (and we skipped another 6). Admit, without PD never would have been here. Whoever wants to go, through Nova Gorica to Solkan, turn at signs to Sv. Gora, then follow Banjšice signs. Right after yellow Banjšice board is Lohke sign, left parking. Here perpendicularly uphill to first track then left. Good luck finding markers. Path is marked but needs feel, markers rare (more wooden signs with peak names).
Banjšice Lohke, starting point. Across the road and at the sign to the meadow, to the first cart track.1

22.09.2022. A little change sometimes helps. Our tour was rather flat. But interesting in its way. And not short either. Steep only at the end to two peaks. Visited three. First has unusual name. BERBIRK. Second Zagorelec and third Golek. Noticed sign for Vetrnik. But didn't go there. Marijan had the path in GPS. To make a loop. It was 19.7 km and 775 m elevation. Walking 9 hours. Each summit has a box. Also stamp noticed on Zagorelec. Paths marked and nicely signposted. Where needed to cross pastures no problems. From last peak Golek past Austro-Hungarian cemetery and past house with memorial plaque to Valentin Stanič. And to church where he held masses.

We start in Lohke village and counterclockwise make a loop around the plateau. Solitary, peaceful and beautiful. Before Lohke village on left big parking, from where we go some 10m along road towards village. Soon on right good cart track that brings us over vast meadows or hayfields under Sleme. To the right up to the ridge, which we follow left to the top. Here we hit first marking, which then accompany us whole way to Podlešče village. From here on path poorly marked or not at all.

For my birthday I treat myself to a shorter hike on Banjšice plateau. From Lohke village at crossroads I go right down and on right by road spot marked stake with Sleme and Sedevčič path sign. Friendly owner of big farm on left lets me park right there on meadow. Otherwise big P a bit further on road right side by independence monument and bus stop there, probably Dom krajanov that house, behind playground...even vending machine for coffee, drinks and snacks they put! On cart track and a bit my way (no grass now to trample) to top Sleme 800m. From there straight on markers to transmitter. Meanwhile watch fox hunting! Over asphalt road again my way uphill and stumble on Zgorelec signs. Past hunter's blind on left on marked path to rocky top Zgorelec 876m. Great views to Julijci, especially Krn with neighbors...head on through woods to gravel road. Follow wooden signs and markers to Vetrnik. This one also rocky and viewy, Vetrnik 903m. Both have stamp and logbook. Go down to Podlešče village. Enough for today, walked 13km and 546m ascent. Later read on info board at dom krajanov whole path should take 3 hours. My guess short by two! Return and do the other side too, really pleasant wandering around there. Calm, wide views, met no walkers, only chatted with one cyclist...will take time next time and do full loop!
At these buildings large parking, also bus stop here1
I even treat myself to a coffee after the tour 2

I started the trail in the village of Lohke and walked it counterclockwise.

Trail markers on the path, especially at the beginning, are deficient.

From GPS point 46.07158, 13.69119 (further past the village of Trušnje, where the Banjščice-Kanalski vrh road is left to the left before the right serpentine) onwards to Golek the path is practically impassable (fallen trees, electric fences across the path that cannot be bypassed.

Sedevčičeva Trail ...

Every now and then we get tired of familiar paths and look for something new nasmeh. This time we went a bit further, to the Banjšica Plateau near Nova Gorica. There is the Sedevčičeva Trail, which circles part of the quite wide plateau and also offers a nice insight into lesser-known places. We also walked through some hamlets that give the impression of other times, and even further back the battles of the First World War took place here. A rather hidden cemetery of fallen soldiers points to this, as do numerous military paths and shelters. Remains of ammunition can still be found. Definitely an interesting trail worth visiting. Just a bit more sun would be welcome, and the greenery will be here soon nasmeh. More in the photo story ...

Parking coordinates (Banjšice - Dom krajanov): 46.0527881N, 13.7108961E
We park at Dom krajanov in Banjšice, or directly at the football ticket booth :)1
There is also an info board for Sedevčičeva pot and much else2
Those from central parts of Slovenia have a completely different association here :)3
We go counterclockwise and to start some asphalt warm-up follows4
Great, they forecasted that too :)5
Pleasant sun immediately brightens the day6
There are enough markers for now, but the signs are quite new7
It runs towards Sleme, indistinct little peak in equally indistinct ridge8
Just below the top is the next signpost and here we turn left9
This is better than nothing too :)10
Hmm, where has the sun hidden itself?11
First up is a slightly more prominent peak, Zgorelec12
Even some rocks are stacked on the top, just for taste :)13
View from the top. Meanwhile, the weather has completely deteriorated.14
We cross Zgorelec and continue towards Vetrnik. It's still a long way to it.15
The path is pleasant and not strenuous.16
At Matija, whatever that is …17
Hardened macadam is still the best for walking, just not boring.18
Interesting name that surely describes the feature of the peak.19
Oh dear, ahead of us the path looks completely different.20
The branch to the summit is barely visible due to moisture, and the access is rockier than we expected.21
Vetrnik doesn't live up to its name this time :)22
The descent isn't exactly praiseworthy either. Tractors have torn up the road, rain contributed mud.23
First hamlet Podlešče, not very well maintained.24
Quickly getting the feeling of a time capsule. This one is well over 18, from the seventies somewhere.25
We continue along Sedevčičeva …26
Next village, Trušnje27
All along, some sort of neglect accompanies us.28
This one is also well advanced in years, Citroën GS. You can hear the rust too, not just see it :)29
The last house in the village and we are already continuing …30
The weather has finally improved. Clouds are breaking up, the pleasant sun has increasingly longer periods.31
Ahead of us there are still a few houses, probably belonging to Banjščice.32
Immediately after them the path branches off to the left onto a forest trail.33
At the sign an indistinct and overgrown path branches off towards the sad history.34
Austro-Hungarian cemetery where 1371 soldiers found their final resting place.35
For the fallen souls …36
We return to the original path, which from here onwards is in quite poor condition.37
Fallen trees lie everywhere and they are not even that new. About a hundred meters ahead everything is cleared up. Obviously a different section.38
We walk along former military paths in the direction of Golek.39
You rarely see this anymore, a grenade with a central ring.40
Also a military passage …41
They are everywhere, natural or carved.42
Towards panoramic Golek.43
Just below the summit, where there is also a hollowed-out observation post.44
Golek with the logbook.45
view from the summit46
The view is also great upwards :)47
We continue along the mulatjera …48
This one has neither end nor edge. But it is extremely comfortable :)49
Hunting observation post of a special kind :)50
What bothers you, I have no idea what's bugging it.51
The return to the starting point also runs on asphalt.52
But there is enough space beside it for comfortable walking.53
At the starting point by the locals' house.54
Follows cleaning of the muddied shoes, then only a long drive home.55
GPS track of the hiked route. It added up to 21 km and 800 elevation meters.56

Emil, GS on pic 29 at least got a dignified final resting place, not somewhere in the bushes.

Beautiful car, my first one nasmeh. I completely understand the owner for making a special place for it.
