Zabočevo - Novaška gora

Access to the starting point:
From the motorway Ljubljana - Koper take the exit Vrhnika and follow the road towards Verda, Bistra, Borovnica and Podpeči. In Borovnica you will reach a crossroads where you will turn right in the direction of Pekel. Follow the relatively narrow road in the direction of Brezovica at Borovnica, but only until the signs for the village of Zabočevo point to the left. The road soon leads us to the village, and we follow it a little further to the mountain signs for Rakitno. Park in one of the roadside car parks.

Path description:
From the starting point, where there is also a warning sign that you are entering the bear area, follow the footpath in the direction of Rakitna. The path initially leads us along the wide cart track, which after a good 10 minutes of moderate ascent leads us to a small clearing, where there is also a less well-marked crossroads.
Rare and occasionally rather faded markings direct us here to the right to the noticeably steeper cart track, which then continues to climb crosswise. The path leads us higher up to a forest road, which we only cross, as the markings for Rakitna and Krimšček direct us to cart track, which continues to climb through the forest.
The increasingly winding path, which continues to the south-east, leads us after a while to a crossroads at the NOB monument.
Continue straight ahead on the worse forest road (left down Rakitna) along which, in addition to the usual markings, you will also see triangular markings. Higher up, you reach an unmarked crossroads, where you continue along the left broad cart track, along which the triangular markings continue (here the path with the usual markings turns right). Cart track, which is getting worse, climbs steeper higher up, and leads you out of the wods onto the grassy slopes, where you also reach a small pass.
At the pass, which is located between Novaška gora on the left and Krimščko on the right, we also leave the marked path and continue our ascent slightly to the left along an unmarked track which begins to climb over an increasingly scenic grassy slope. The path opens up to a beautiful view of Krim and the surrounding hills, and then, higher up, turns into forest, where it continues all the way to the top.

We recommend: trips from the same starting point, similar trips
