Access to the starting point:
a) From the Ljubljana - Koper motorway, take the Unec exit, then continue to Cerknica and on to Nová vas na Blokah. When you reach the village Grahovo, leave the main road at the crossroads by the Church of St. Mary and turn left onto the local road. Continue through the village and then the road gradually leads into the forest, where you reach a small crossroads. Continue straight on (left Martinjak) and follow the dirt road for some time, then you will come to a sharp right turn, in the middle of which the road to Slivnica turns left. Turn left here and park at a suitable place on the roadside.
b) From the road Ljubljana - Kočevje, at Žlebič, head in the route Sodražica, then continue towards Blocks. At the end of Nová vas na Bloki, leave the main road leading to Cerknica and turn right towards Veliki Bloki. At the end of Velike Bloke, turn left towards Radlek, and the asphalt road will quickly lead you to the above-mentioned village. After the village, the asphalt ends and we continue driving on the dirt road, which is soon joined by a worse dirt road from Bločice on the left, and we continue straight on the road, which soon turns into a forest. Continue past the NOB monument, after which you will quickly reach a left turn, in the middle of which the road to Slivnica branches off to the right. Turn right here and park in a suitable place on the roadside.
Path description:
From the starting point, continue along the road along which we parked, which leads us in a moderate climb to a small crossroads, where we continue slightly left in the direction of Slivnica and hunting huts (the right road leads to Kalužam). The path continues on a slightly ascending road, which we follow for about 30 minutes, and then just before the nearby hunting hut markings direct us left on the initially parallel mountain trail. Just a little further on, the path from the hunting lodge joins us from the right (and from the left, the path with Grahovo, the path that leads past the ruins of the church of St Nicholas), and we continue straight on, following a gradually steeper mountain path. Higher up, the path is laid and leads us out of the forest to several small meadows surrounded by scrub.
The scrub thins out further, and we start to get better and better views from the path. A little further on, we get a nice view of Cerkniško polje and Snežnik, and our path crosses the grassy cart track at this point. There is a short climb through lane of low forest before joining the slightly wider cart track.
Once on the aforementioned cart track, continue left (right peak Slivnica 3 minutes), and we only continue a short distance along it. Soon we will come to a well-trodden path leading from Dom na Slivnici to the top of Slivnica.
Here we continue left downhill, where after a short descent we reach a parking lot, which we only cross. From the parking lot, continue descending, and the path that crosses the lane of a forest will quickly lead you to the Doma na Slivnici (Home on Slivnica).
We can extend the trip to the following destinations: Slivnica
