Trpčane - Koča na Kozleku

Access to the starting point:
From the Ljubljana - Koper motorway, take the Postojna exit and follow the road towards Rijeka and Ilirska Bistrica. At the end of Ilirska Bistrica turn left towards the villages Vrbovo, Jablanica and Trpčane. Continue past the villages Jasen, Vrbovo, Vrbica and Jablanica to the village Trpčane, where at the inn in the village turn left in the direction of Kozlek. Park in one of the parking lots in the village. Do not park in the yard.

Path description:
From the parking lot, continue up through the village to where the signs direct you to cart track. Cart track then takes you past a pasture fence where wild boars are kept. The way forward climbs steeply over vast grassy slopes to reach the foot of Kozjek. The path continues along the marked cart track, which gradually leads us into the forest. The often rather muddy cart track is then abandoned as the markings direct us to a path which climbs steeper. The moderately steep path leads us higher to the next cart track, which soon has a crossroads where we continue right in the direction of Kozlek. Cart track then crosses the slopes to the east in a moderate ascent and turns left at a higher altitude onto an undistinguished pass, where the next crossroads is. Continue left into the forest towards Kozlek. The path, which gradually climbs steeper and steeper, leads us after a further 15 minutes' walk to the top of Kozlek, from which there is only a short descent to the hut.
