Access to starting point:
From the Ljubljana - Koper motorway we turn onto the Postojna exit and continue on the road towards Pivka. In Pivka we leave the main road leading towards Ilirska Bistrica and continue driving towards Knežak. We follow this road to the village of Parje, where we turn left towards the villages of Palčje and Juršče. We then follow the mostly gently ascending road to the village of Juršče, where we park near the information board.
Route description:
From the parking lot we continue past a small memorial park along the road towards Kršičevec. The road, which soon loses its asphalt surface, quickly takes us to a small intersection, where we continue on the lower left road (a small cross is located along the right road), which continues on the left side of the fence. A little further on we reach a well-marked junction, where the path to Bele stene and Spodmol branches off to the left (straight ahead Kršičevec).
We continue towards Bele stene along the cart track that crosses extensive grassy slopes. Further on we cross a smaller gravel road and a little later step onto another wider gravel road which we follow to the right. We follow the mentioned road for only a few steps, as the markings soon direct us left onto a cart track that initially ascends parallel to the road, then passes at the foot of the Jerusi mountain on which Bele stene and Spodmol are located.
After a few more minutes of walking the markings direct us a little more to the left onto a quite overgrown footpath that begins to ascend through dense forest. Higher up we reach a small clearing along which the path continues steeply upwards. At the top of this ascent we step onto an abandoned cart track which we follow in a gentle descent to the right. A little further on the markings direct us sharply left onto a path that again begins to ascend more steeply and quickly takes us to Spodmol. Just a few meters further we also reach the cave of the same name, then we continue the ascent along a relatively gentle path that after a few more minutes of walking takes us to the viewpoint of Bele stene.
Along the route: Spodmol (825m)

If you have visited Kršičevec and have some time left, it's worth making a short detour and climbing to Bele stene as well.

Nice family trip. We enjoyed the solitude. The original plan was to climb to Kršičevec, but due to the wind we preferred to turn to Bele stene, as the path mostly goes through the forest.

We were there on Sunday, the trip would be nice, but the hiking trail is impassable due to fallen trees, when the trail turns into the forest there are no markers until near the top, we didn't see the caves and overhang, the trail is supposed to be circular but the markers are lost even at the top, on the way back to the village we were followed by 2 large dogs from the nearby farm, which wasn't pleasant at all, apparently the locals in Juršče let their dogs roam free!!!

Yesterday solitary walk to Bele stene. Trail excellently marked: ascent via eastern, return via western trail. Good side of corona: we discover unknown trails in our municipalities...

Yesterday my partner and I were on Bele stene for the first time. I recommend the circular route up the eastern path and down the western one. When the path transitions from the meadow to the forest, it is partially overgrown in some places (nothing too bad), but excellently marked. Highlights along the path include the wonderful pine forest, karst overhang and cave of the same name, and the summit itself with a nice view of the Juršče valley, Kršičevec and surrounding hills and Snežnik. The summit also has a stamp and summit register box.
