Gorenje - Gora (Sveti Lovrenc)

Access to starting point:
A) From the Koper - Ljubljana highway, take the Postojna exit, then continue driving towards Postojna. When we reach the old Ljubljana - Koper road, continue right and drive towards the center of Postojna. A few crossroads ahead, turn left in the direction of Postojna Cave, Predjama and Studeno. Further on, drive a few more kilometers on the main road towards Predjama, then continue straight towards Planina and Studeno. On the main road towards Planina, drive good 200 meters, then turn left in the direction of Belsko village. A somewhat narrower road quickly takes us to Belsko, where at the marked crossroad turn right in the direction of Gorenje. Further on, drive on a somewhat steeper road, on which we soon arrive at the beginning of Gorenje. Here turn slightly right and drive into the village center, where turn right once again. The village ends quickly, and we continue driving another good 100 meters, then park at a suitable place by the road.
B) From the Ljubljana - Koper highway, take the Unec exit, then continue driving towards Planina. At Planina we reach the old Ljubljana - Postojna road, which we follow to the left (we can also arrive here from the direction of Kalc near Logatec) and drive along it to the crossroad, where signs for Postojna Cave direct us right. At the end of Planina the road ascends somewhat more steeply, then flattens and takes us to Lohača village. On the main road we also drive through Studeno village, then it starts to descend more steeply. After a short descent we arrive at a crossroad, where we continue right in the direction of Belsko village. A somewhat narrower road quickly takes us to Belsko, where at the marked crossroad turn right in the direction of Gorenje. Further on, drive on a somewhat steeper road, on which we soon arrive at the beginning of Gorenje. Here turn slightly right and drive into the village center, where turn right once again. The village ends quickly, and we continue driving another good 100 meters, then park at a suitable place by the road.

Path description:
From the starting point we continue along the road by which we parked, but it already splits into two parts after a few meters. We continue on the right marked road, which then moderately ascends, higher turning more to the left. Further, we gently ascend across a panoramic meadow, from where to the left a view opens towards Nanos, to the right towards Gora or Sveti Lovrenc. A little higher we arrive at a crossroad, by which we notice some signposts.
From the crossroad an unmarked gentle path branches off to the left to Gora (Sveti Lovrenc), to the right a short road branches off towards the nearby hunting cottage, and we continue straight in the direction of Sveti Lovrenc.
From the crossroad we continue briefly along the road, then the blazes direct us left onto the path, which starts gently ascending through a thin pine grove. The path further leads us across a meadow, after which it transitions into the forest and a few meters later joins a cart track. For a short time we ascend along the cart track, then the path goes onto somewhat steeper slopes, across which it starts ascending to the right. The path further leads along a grassy slope, across which we ascend quite steeply for a few minutes. First a nice view opens onto the Postojna Basin, then the path returns to the forest. A few minutes of moderate ascent follow, and the path takes us to the summit of Sveti Lovrenc.
From the top we can also descend in two minutes to the nearby church of St. Lovrenc.
