Osredek - Dom v Iškem Vintgarju

Access to starting point:
From Cerknica we continue driving in the direction of the settlement Begunje pri Cerknici. We drive on road 643. Then we come to the village Selšček, which is known for the painting master Maksim Gaspari. We continue through Selšček and at the end of the village we drive approximately 350 m. At the intersection we turn right (sign Cajnarje). We drive through the village Topol pri Begunjah and keep right. When we come through the village Topol we continue driving on the main road (if we come to gravel we have missed!). Then the first village will be Cajnarje, we go through Cajnarje, over the bridge and to Hruškarje (keep right). We drive past the fire station (PGD Cajnarje). From the house to the next intersection is approximately 200 m, here we turn right (sign Sveti Vid). Here the path starts to rise, the drive will be more winding, we watch out for cars, buses, trucks, tractors... Then we come to the village Bečaje, and again to the village Hruškarje. We drive on the main road to Sveti Vid. When we arrive in Sveti Vid we drive straight on the main road, where after 500 m (from the beginning of the table Sveti Vid), we turn right sign Osredek. We continue the path to Osredek. We will drive past the village Zala. From Sveti Vid to Osredek is 6 km. We leave the car in Osredek at Kmečkem Turizmu Ujčevi.

Route description:
From the parking lot we continue walking past the church and at the intersection after 100 m there is a sign Vrbica-Iški Vintgar. We turn left, walk 600 m to three houses and there turn right. The path is marked, so it is almost impossible to miss and get lost. We walk past the house with a local inscription on the house and after 30 m turn right. We walk on the gravel road and start descending towards the forest. When we enter the forest we keep right and then descend again into the forest. From that bend to the change of path is less than a kilometer. When we have to turn right we will notice the sign and markings (on the right side of the path we will see the marks). From there on everything is marked. The path ahead constantly rises and falls and there are large elevation differences of even 50-100 m. In the last part the path only gently descends towards Dom v Iškem Vintgarju. In winter the hike is not recommended because it is necessary to walk across the river Iška, as the footbridge collapsed some years ago. Every year on 1.5. a hike takes place organized by PD Sveti Vid.
The path is not for everyone, as there are also some protections on the path (be especially careful if smaller children or elderly are on the trip...). Along the river Iška there are also many benches.

Along the route: Vrbica (420m)

We recommend: trips from the same starting point, similar trips
