Access to starting point:
We drive to Logatec, and then follow the old road in the direction of Postojna. When we arrive in Grčarevec, we will notice tourist information boards and parking lot signs on the right side of the road by the bus stop, where we park.
Route description:
From the parking lot by the bus stop, we continue a few dozen meters along the main road in the direction of Postojna. At some houses, we turn slightly right onto a marked access path that leads us past the houses, and a little further, we join an asphalt road that leads through the hamlet. We follow the road to the right. When the dense part of the hamlet ends, a path branches off to the right towards the viewpoint below Srnjak and Lanišča, but we continue along the road. Soon after the last house, the road loses its asphalt covering. After approximately 5 minutes of walking on the macadam road, we reach a sharp turn where Jakob's arrow directs us straight onto a rougher cart track. We walk along it; at first, it is flat, then there are a few short ascents and descents, and later we cross an MTB track three times. We ignore all turn-offs to the left or right. The path becomes somewhat overgrown, but when we reach a clearly visible logging trail, we need to pay attention to a turn-off to the right. After a short footpath, we reach a road that comes from the Planina - Grčarevec road and heads towards Zagora. We continue along it towards Zagora. The road makes a turn and then veers to the left. After about 15 minutes, we reach a crossroad where we continue straight, as indicated by the arrow. To the right is Polšakova koča on Zagora. Immediately after the crossroad, a logging trail branches off to the right towards Kležni grič. We continue along the road, which ascends slightly to moderately until a sharp turn, where Jakob's yellow arrow directs us straight onto a steep logging trail. The rugged logging trail ascends steeply with short flatter sections, and at all junctions, we follow the yellow arrows. After 15 minutes of ascent, the logging trail flattens, and we continue past a small clearing into a small valley west of Kolka. We reach a crossroad where a logging trail branches off to the left towards Kolka. We continue slightly to the right, and after a short ascent, we arrive at a clearing near Grmada, where there is also a hunting observatory. We reach a road where we continue to the right. To the left are Grmada and Sveta Marija. Here, we also leave Jakobova pot. The road ascends moderately, enters a forest, and makes a large turn around a bigger sinkhole. Once around the sinkhole, we soon notice a footpath to the left leading towards the hunting cottage. In 2 minutes, we reach the hunting cottage, from where some views open towards the Postojna basin and Javorniki.
