Radlek - Dom na Slivnici

Access to starting point:
a) From the Ljubljana - Koper motorway, take the Unec exit, then continue driving towards Cerknica and further towards Nova vas na Blokah. Upon arriving at the village of Grahovo, at the intersection by the church of St. Mary, leave the main road and continue left onto the local road. Further on, first drive through the village, then the road gradually leads us into the forest, where we reach a small intersection. Continue straight (left to Martinjak) and drive along the gravel road for some time, then arrive at a sharp right bend, in the middle of which a road branches off to the left towards Slivnica. Here, continue left and park in a suitable place by the road.
b) From the Ljubljana - Kočevje road, at the locality of Žlebič, head towards Sodražica, then continue driving towards Bloke. At the end of Nova vas na Blokah, leave the main road leading towards Cerknica and continue right towards Velike Bloke. At the end of Velike Bloke, continue left towards Radlek; the asphalt road quickly brings us to the mentioned village. After the village, the asphalt ends, and we continue driving along the gravel road, to which a poorer gravel road from Bločice soon joins from the left; we continue straight along the road, which soon enters the forest. Further on, drive past the NOB monument, after which we quickly reach a left bend, in the middle of which a road branches off to the right towards Slivnica. Here, turn right and then park in a suitable place by the road.

Route description:
From the starting point, continue along the road where we parked. It leads us in a moderate ascent to a small intersection, where we turn slightly left towards Slivnica and the hunting lodge (the right road leads towards Kalužam). Continue along the flat road, following it for about 30 minutes. Just before the hunting lodge, the markers direct us left onto an initially parallel mountain path. A little further, the path from the mentioned lodge joins from the right, and from the left a trail from Grahovo (path past the ruins of the church of St. Nicholas). Continue straight along the gradually steeper mountain path. Higher up, the trail flattens and leads us from the forest to small meadows surrounded by bushes.
Further on, the bushes thin out, and increasingly beautiful views open from the path. A little further, a beautiful view opens onto the Cerknica Field and Snežnik; our path crosses a grassy cart track at this point. A short ascent follows through a belt of low forest, then we join a wider cart track.
When we step onto it, continue right (left to Dom na Slivnici – 3 minutes). Walk along it for only a few dozen steps, then turn slightly left onto a trodden path, along which we quickly ascend to the summit of Slivnica.
From the summit, continue towards Cerknica and Dom na Slivnici. Quickly descend to the nearby forest road turning area, then along the path to Dom na Slivnici.
