Gorenje - Gora (Sveti Lovrenc) (gentle path)

Access to the starting point:
a) From the motorway Koper - Ljubljana, take the exit Postojna and then continue in the direction of Postojna. When you reach the old Ljubljana - Koper road, turn right and drive towards the centre of Postojna. A few junctions further on, turn left in the direction of Postojna cave, Predjama and Studena. Continue along the main road for a few kilometres towards Predjama, then continue straight on towards Planina and Studen. Follow the main road towards Planina for 200 metres and then turn left towards the village of Belsko. A slightly narrower road quickly leads to Belsko, where you turn right at a marked crossroads in the direction of Gorenje. Continue along a slightly steeper road, which soon leads to the beginning of Gorenj. Turn slightly right here and head into the centre of the village, where you will turn right again. The village ends quickly, and we continue driving for another 100 metres before parking in a suitable place on the roadside.
b) From the motorway Ljubljana - Koper, take the exit Unec, then continue to Planina. At Planina you will reach the old Ljubljana - Postojna road, and we follow it to the left (you can also reach it from the direction of Kalc near Logatec) and follow it to the crossroads, where the signs for the Postojna cave direct you to the right. At the end of Planina, the road climbs a little more, then it flattens out and leads to the village of Lohača. Follow the main road through the village of Studeno before it starts to descend more steeply. After a short descent, you will come to a crossroads where you turn right towards the village Belsko. A slightly narrower road quickly takes you to Belsko, where you turn right at a marked crossroads in the direction of Gorenj. Continue along a slightly steeper road, which soon leads to the beginning of Gorenj. Turn slightly right here and head into the centre of the village, where you will turn right again. The village ends quickly, and we continue driving for another 100 metres before parking in a suitable place on the roadside.

Path description:
From the starting point, continue along the road along which you parked, which splits into two parts after just a few metres. Continue along the marked road on the right, which climbs moderately and turns more to the left at a higher altitude. We continue to climb gently across a meadow, from where we can see Nanos to the left and Gora or Svätý Lovrenec to the right. A little higher, you reach a crossroads, at which you see some direction signs.
From the crossroads, continue along the road to the left (straight ahead, marked path to Gora, hunting lodge to the right), which then climbs gently north-westwards. Higher up, the road turns more and more to the right, so that it almost encircles the nearby Župni vrh (946 m). Walk south for a while, then the road turns slightly more to the left and continues through the vast forests of the Hrušica plateau. A little further on, you reach a small crossroads north of Srebrný hill (983 m), where you continue to the right (the left road leads to the slopes of Veliki Bukovec (1019 m)). Only about 100 metres further on, you reach the next unmarked crossroads. Here again, continue to the right (a slightly left road leading towards the pass between Goro (1019 m) and Špilnik (1018 m), where it turns into cart track, which descends towards the village of Studeno (581 m)) and follow the road to its end, or rather to the place where it turns into the moderately steep cart track. Continue along the above-mentioned cart track, which, after a few minutes' further walking, leads to the Church of St Lawrence.
After the church, where there is a thermometer and a wishing bell, continue to the right, and within three minutes of further walking, you will reach the top of Gora (Sveti Lovrenc).
