Lohača - Sveta Marija on Planinska gora (by road)

Access to the starting point:
From Ljubljana, take the motorway to Koper and take the Unec exit. At the junction, turn right in the route Mountain pasture, where you will take a sharp left at the junction towards Postojna (you can also take the old road to get here). Continue through Mountain pasture and turn right at the place where you see the signs for Strmca and Studeno. The road soon leads to the next crossroads, where it says Postojna on the left, Strmca and Studeno on the right, and nothing on the right. Continue straight on here and follow the road to the village of Lohača, where you turn right in the direction of Planinska Gora. Park just after the village in the roadside parking lot.
From Postojna follow the old road towards Ljubljana. Shortly after the village of Mačkovec, the road to Strmca turns sharp left. This road then soon leads to the next crossroads, where you continue left towards Strmca and Studeno. When the road leads to the village Lohača, turn right towards Planinska Gora. Park just after the village in the roadside parking lot.

Path description:
From the parking lot, continue along the road along which you parked. After a few dozen metres, the road goes into the forest through which it climbs moderately. After about 20 minutes of walking, you come out of the wods and immediately afterwards at a crossroads. Here we continue along the right-hand road in the direction of the hunting lodge and St Mary's. The road continues for some time without any major climbs along the pastures of Planinska Gora. A little further on, the road goes into the forest again and climbs a little here and there. After a while, the road starts to descend slightly and soon leads us to the next crossroads, where we continue to the right towards the hunting lodge (straight St Mary's Church 15 min), which we reach after two minutes of further walking. From the hunting lodge, you can continue along the footpath, which leads you to the church after a moderate descent of about 10 minutes, or you can follow the road back to the crossroads and turn right (straight in the direction of arrival) and follow the road, which descends slightly, for about 15 minutes to the Church of St Mary.
