Mala Učka - Vojak

Access to starting point:
Through the border crossing Jelšane or Pasjak we drive onto the highway towards Rijeka. We leave the highway at the Opatija junction and drive on the expressway towards Pula, which we leave at the Veprinac exit. We follow the steep road into the village, where we turn left. On the ascending and winding road we drive over the Poklon and Peruč passes to the place Vela Učka, where at a small chapel we turn left onto a narrower road in the direction of Mala Učka. The road initially ascends through a pine forest, then leads between meadows to Mala Učka. From the main road it is approximately 4 km to the starting point. We park at the mountain signposts for Učka or a bit earlier along the road.

Route description:
From the starting point we continue in the direction of Vojak, Suhi vrh and Poklon. The path leads us over a small bridge and steeply ascends along a logging road. After a few steep bends the logging road gradually turns into a path. We walk through the forest, then among junipers and arrive at a small plain. The path begins to ascend steeply and turns left. The path crosses the western slope of Suhi vrh. After more than 10 minutes of traversing we leave the dense forest and move onto grassy slopes overgrown with juniper. The path becomes somewhat sandier. Further on the path is somewhat overgrown with juniper. When we see the summit of Vojak we are already close to the saddle. At the saddle between Vojak and Suhi vrh there are benches and signposts. From the left the path from the Peruč pass joins us and from the right the path from the coast. We continue slightly left in the direction of Vojak. The path begins to ascend steeply along the southern grassy slope of Vojak. There are several paths here; we can take the steep ridge path or a somewhat gentler one that leads along the slope to the right of the ridge. After 15 minutes the paths merge. The path levels out somewhat and soon we already see the viewing tower at the summit. Only a short rocky ridge separates us from it. A view opens up in all directions.
