Povžane - Planina Jegno

Access to starting point:
We leave the Primorska highway at the Kozina exit, and then follow the road towards Ilirska Bistrica. In the settlement of Materija, after the gas station, we turn left towards the kindergarten, where we park in the nearby parking lot.

Route description:
From the parking lot, we return to the main road and carefully cross it at the pedestrian crossing, then we turn onto a side road that begins by the gas station Discount Oil.
Here we also notice the first mountain signposts for Slavnik, the mountain pasture Jegno, and Skadanščina. The path initially leads along an asphalt road that takes us among houses, at the monument to Jože Babič, the path turns right and begins to descend. Further on, we descend for a while along a macadam road, where we turn left at a small crossroads of multiple roads, and the road flattens lower down, leading us to a junction at a pond, where we continue straight towards Slavnik (left Skadanščina).
Next follows a gentle to moderate diagonal ascent along a cart track, and we reach a junction where a path to Slavnik branches off to the left, bypassing the mountain pasture Jegno, but we continue straight towards the mentioned mountain pasture. A few minutes later, we continue ascending through the forest, following the blazes at several junctions, then a short descent follows, and we emerge from the forest onto the edge of the mountain pasture Jegno, where a few buildings stand.
