Loščica - Vremščica

Access to starting point:
A) From the highway Koper - Ljubljana, we take the exit Divača, and then continue driving towards Divača. Still before Divača, we turn right towards the settlement Dolnje Ležeče, and from there we drive further. Just a few meters before we arrive at the crossroad, where the road towards the village Goriče pri Famljah branches off to the right, we turn left towards Vremščica. At the next crossroad, which we reach after just a few meters, we continue left again. The road then brings us to the other side of the railway track, and from it we drive along the road for approximately 3.5 km or to the spot where a short steep road branches off to the left, beside which we notice signs for Vremščica. We drive onto the mentioned road and then after a few tens of meters park at a suitable spot.
B) From the highway Ljubljana - Koper, we take the exit Postojna and follow the road ahead towards Pivka and Ilirska Bistrica. Soon after the military history park in Pivka, a road branches off to the right towards the settlements Kal, Neverke, Volče and Divača. We head onto the mentioned road, which we follow further in the direction of Divača. After approximately 12 km of driving from the point where we left the main road Pivka - Ilirska Bistrica, we arrive at a smaller crossroad, where a short steep road branches off to the right, beside which we notice signs for Vremščica. We drive onto the mentioned road and then after a few tens of meters park at a suitable spot.

Route description:
From the parking lot, we walk along the road 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 the low forest. Higher up there are a few smaller junctions, but if we carefully follow the blazes, there are no major orientation problems. After a while, the forest thins out and an increasingly panoramic path brings us to a junction, where we join the path from Matavun (Škocjan Caves).
Here we continue straight ahead or slightly right on a less distinct cart track, which gradually enters the forest and turns into a nicely traceable footpath. A little higher, the path from Senožeče also joins us, and we continue straight, ascending through another strip of forest. Higher up, the forest thins out, and the increasingly panoramic path quickly brings us to the summit of Vremščica.

We recommend: trips from the same starting point, similar trips, panorama, summit register
