Radlek - Slivnica

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. When arriving at Grahovo village, 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. Continue left here and park in a suitable place by the road.
b) From the Ljubljana–Kočevje road, at Žlebič turn 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, where the asphalt road quickly takes us to the mentioned village. After the village, the asphalt ends, and we continue 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, behind which we quickly reach a left bend, in the middle of which a road branches off to the right towards Slivnica. Turn right here and park in a suitable place by the road.

Route description:
From the starting point, continue along the road where we parked; it takes us in a moderate ascent to a small intersection, where we continue slightly left towards Slivnica and the hunting lodge (right road leads to Kaluže). Continue along the slightly ascending road, following it for about 30 minutes, then just before the nearby hunting lodge, markers direct us left onto an initially parallel mountain path. A little further, the path from the mentioned hunting lodge joins from the right (from the left, a trail from Grahovo, path passing the ruins of St. Nicholas church), we continue straight along the gradually steeper mountain path. Higher up, the trail levels out and takes us from the forest onto several small meadows surrounded by bushes.
Further on, the bushes thin out even more, and increasingly beautiful views open from the path. A little further, a beautiful view opens to Cerkniško polje and Snežnik; our path crosses a grassy cart track here. A short ascent through a belt of low forest follows, then we join a somewhat wider cart track.
When stepping onto the mentioned cart track, continue right (left to Dom na Slivnici 3 minutes); we walk along it only about 10 steps, then continue slightly left onto a trodden path, along which we quickly ascend to the summit of Slivnica.
