Access to starting point:
From Ilirska Bistrica over the border crossing Jelšane we drive towards Rijeka. We leave the highway towards Rijeka at the Jurdani exit and follow the road ahead to the settlement Matulji, where signs for Učka direct us to the right. We follow this road, which then ascends quite steeply, to a large parking lot on Poklon.
Path description:
By the parking lot, we will notice signposts for Vojak, which direct us onto a wide path (poor road) that gently ascends on the left side of the boarding house Učka (a restaurant near the parking lot). After just a few steps, the road leads us into the forest, where it turns into a pleasant footpath. A well-marked path, which moderately ascends through the forest, further on crosses the asphalt road a few times. Higher up, the path leads us past a small spring and soon after brings us to the Forest Teaching Trail. Here, we continue straight along the marked path, which, after a further moderate ascent, leads us to an asphalt road that we then follow all the way to the transmitters on Učka. When the road ends, we continue left along an increasingly scenic path, which brings us to the lookout tower on Vojak in five minutes.
