Access to starting point:
Via the border crossing Jelšane or Pasjak we drive onto the motorway towards Rijeka. We leave the motorway at the Opatija junction and drive along the expressway towards Pula, which we leave at the Veprinac exit. We follow the steep road into the village, where we turn left. Along the ascending and winding road we drive over the Poklon and Peruč passes to the village of Vela Učka, where at a small chapel we turn left onto a narrower road towards Mala Učka. The road first ascends through a pine forest, then leads between meadows to Mala Učka. From the main road it is approximately 4 km to the starting point. We park at the mountain signposts for Učka or a little earlier along the road.
Route description:
From the starting point we continue in the direction of Vojak, Suhi vrh and Poklon. The path leads us across a small footbridge and ascends steeply along the logging road. After a few steep bends the logging road gradually turns into a path. We walk through the forest, then among junipers and arrive at a small plain. The path begins to ascend steeply and turns left. The path crosses the western slope of Suhi vrh. After a good 10 minutes of traversing we leave the dense forest and move onto grassy slopes overgrown with juniper. The path becomes somewhat sandier. Further on the path is somewhat overgrown with juniper. When we glimpse the summit of Vojak we are already close to the saddle. At the saddle between Vojak and Suhi vrh there are benches and signposts. From the left the path from the Peruč pass joins us and from the right the path from the coast. We continue sharply right towards Suhi vrh. The path ascends steeply over the grassy slope. Further on the path gently ascends to the grassy pre-summit of Suhi vrh. In between an unmarked trail branches off barely noticeably to the right towards Argun (southern part of Suhi vrh). This is followed by a steep descent through the forest, where we carefully follow the markings. The path turns right and in 5 minutes we reach the viewpoint where the summit register is located. We continue left along the marked path and in 3 minutes we arrive at the rocks on Suhi vrh, which is overgrown with forest.
