Access to starting point:
Leave the Primorska motorway at the Divača exit, then at intersections follow the directional signs for Ribnica or Ilirska Bistrica. Drive through the settlement Dolnje Ležeče to the settlement Famlje. Drive almost through the entire village Famlje, then at the very end of the settlement (just before Vremski Britof) turn right towards the sports park and the former mine. Park in the arranged parking lot next to the former black coal mine, which is located next to the sports field.
Route description:
From the parking lot by the former black coal mine Vremski Britof we head southeast, where we first walk on an asphalt road slightly uphill and past the sports park into a road cut. In the cut we turn left towards the village Dolnje Vreme (the junction is clearly marked with a directional sign on the concrete embankment) and continue on the asphalt village path through the village, following the markings at a few intersections. At the upper end of the village a gravel, drivable forest road begins, which continues above the railway tunnel and takes us higher to another asphalt road.
We only cross the mentioned road and follow the signs for Vremščica, where we first walk on a side gravel road. After a few dozen meters the road takes us to an old wagon converted into a bivouac, where it turns into a cart track. We continue on the marked cart track, which moderately ascends through low forest. Higher up there are a few smaller junctions, but if we carefully follow the markings there are no major orientation difficulties. After a while the forest thins and the increasingly scenic path takes us to a junction where we join the path from Matavun (Škocjanske jame).
Here we continue straight or slightly right on a less distinct cart track, which gradually turns into forest and becomes a nicely traceable path. Somewhat higher the path from Senožeče also joins, but we continue straight and ascend through another belt of forest. Higher up the forest finally thins, and the increasingly scenic path quickly takes us to the summit of Vremščica.
Along the route: Vremski Britof (378m), Loščica (660m)

The description incorrectly states the following:
When we arrive under the power lines, we turn sharply right and walk along the marked path under the railway embankment (and not along the track, the track is about twenty meters above us!) and always under the power lines, to the platform (former!) Vreme railway station (the station building no longer exists, it was demolished years ago!). Here, at the beginning, we cross the railway track over the metal fence (there is no passage anywhere!)...
Above the asphalt road there is no hunting lodge, but a bivouac - converted from an old wagon (mentioned for easier orientation - so no one looks for a hunting lodge)... This place is called Loščica and not Loka (Tominčeva loka is a valley deep under the road)... So we go from Loščica and not from Loka...

The mountain path Famlje - Vremščica runs on a new route and is part of the Matavun - Vremščica path through the gorge of the Reka river. There is currently no description on this forum of the section of the path on the relation Matavun - Famlje through the gorge of the Reka river (it is in preparation). The new route of the mountain path Famlje - Vremščica starts at the former black coal mine Vremski Britof, which is located in the settlement of Famlje (about three hundred meters ahead from the starting point of the path mentioned in the upper description by the large mining residential building visible from afar) and continues on an asphalt road slightly uphill and past the sports park into a road cut. In the cut we turn left towards the village of Dolnje Vreme (the junction is clearly marked with a directional sign on the concrete embankment) and continue through the village on the asphalt village road. At the upper end of the village a gravel, drivable forest road begins which continues to the asphalt road. The connection to the asphalt road is shown in the initial description in picture 22. Further towards the summit of Vremščica the mountain path continues as described in the initial description.
The mountain path is marked and equipped with directional signs in the new section, while on the old route all directional signs and markings have been removed at the beginning and middle part of the path...

Thank you for the notification. I have rearranged the description and described the new route. I have removed the pictures because they do not match the state of the new part of the path.
