Access to the starting point:
From the motorway Ljubljana - Koper take the exit Postojna and follow the road towards Pivka, Rijeka and Ilirska Bistrica. In Pivka, leave the main road leading to Ilirska Bistrica and continue towards the village of Knežak. Just after Knežak, you will reach the village of Šembije, where you should look out for the first turning to the left. So turn sharp left off the main road and continue along the dirt road, which climbs gently at first and then a little steeper over the karst fields. The road then flattens out and leads to a small plateau below the Volovja Ribrija. If we intend to make a circular tour along the ridge of the Volovje ridge, we can park here already, but if not, we continue along the sometimes slightly worse macadam road, which leads us higher up to a sharp left turn, in the middle of which a worse road branches off to the right. Continue along the left-hand "main" road, which takes you higher up to the next junction at which you park.
Path description:
From the crossroads, take a sharp left, onto a slightly worse forest road, which begins to climb steeply across the increasingly scenic grassy slopes. The deteriorating road soon curves to the right and almost completely flattens out. A little further on, we see a fainter cart track road branching off to the right (20 minutes to Velika Milanja), and we continue straight on, following the road, which soon leads us to a pass between Velika Milanja on the right and the top of Bele ovce on the left.
Here the road turns to the left again (westwards) and, after a few more steps, leads us to the summit of Bele ovce (Bele ovce summit 5 minutes). The summit, the worse road, or rather cart track, passes by on the right-hand northern side.
The gently sloping road, which continues with a few short ascents and descents, turns to the right a little further on. Exactly at the point where the road turns to the right, leave it and continue the ascent along the gentle slopes of the Volovje Ribri, over which a pleasant track passes. Follow the path, which climbs only gently the whole time, to the summit.
From Volovje Ribri, continue westwards along a barely visible path that continues along and along the ridge. The path, which initially descends, soon leads us to an inconspicuous saddle between Volovja Ribrija and Milanka. From the saddle there is only a short, partly pathless climb through the pines.

Majhen popravek: tista rožca ni Velikonočnica, ampak njen ˝bratranec˝ Gorski kosmatinec.

Zanimiv izlet, predvsem če hočes obdelati celotno sleme Volovje rebri.
Za vzpon samo na Milanko pa priporočam pot iz Šembij (opisana pod vrhom Velika Milanja) ali pot iz Koritnic, ki sem jo prav tako opisal pod V. Milanjo, le da boste namesto po poti levo proti anteni nadaljevali naravnost proti Milanki. Če pa pridete do pred antene lahko še vedno zavijete desno proti Mali Milanji od katere je le še slabih 5 minut spusta na Milanko. Je pa z Milanke zaradi borovega gozda precej omejen pogled na okolico. Vrh je označen s kupom kamenja.
