Povir - Stari tabor (harder path)

Access to starting point:
A) From the highway Ljubljana - Koper we go to the exit Divača, and then we continue driving towards Divača. From Divača we continue in the direction towards Sežana, and after a few kilometers of additional driving, we get to the settlement Povir, where we leave the main road and continue left towards the center of the settlement. Further, we drive through the center of the village, and after the overpass over the railway track, we turn left. Further, we drive past a few more residential houses, and then the asphalt ends. We park a few 100 meters ahead of the end of the village, on an appropriate place by the road.
B) First, we drive to Sežana, and then we continue driving on the old road towards Divača. When we get to the settlement Povir we leave the main road and we continue right towards the center of the settlement. Further, we drive through the center of the village, and after the overpass over the railway track, we turn left. Further, we drive past a few more residential houses, and then the asphalt ends. We park a few 100 meters ahead of the end of the village, on an appropriate place by the road.

Path description:
From the starting point, we continue on the macadam road, which initially ascends gently through the forest. The forest soon changes into bushes, and the road, which slowly turns to the right, brings us to a marked junction, where we continue on the right road in the direction of Stari tabor (left Lokev and Strmec). From the junction onwards we continue on a quite gentle road, which soon brings us to the next junction. This time we continue left in the direction of the harder path to Stari tabor (straight ahead: easier path) and continue the path for a short time on an increasingly poor road. After a few minutes of further walking, the blazes direct us right onto a slightly overgrown and initially harder-to-follow footpath. There follow a few successive forks, where we carefully follow the blazes, then the path brings us to a cart track, which we follow to the left. For a short time we continue on the wider cart track, then continue right on a marked footpath, which soon joins another poorer cart track. A little further, we also leave this cart track and continue on a steeper path, which then ascends through low forest. Further on, the well-marked path brings us higher below the summit of Stari tabor, where it splits into two parts.
The right path ascends a short rocky section with the aid of some steel cables (undemanding), the left avoids the short steep part and joins the path from the village of Lokev just a few meters below the summit.
