Zagrad - Mala Plešivica

Access to the starting point:
From the Ljubljana - Koper motorway, take the Kozina exit and follow the road towards Rijeka. In the village Obrov turn right in the direction of the village Golac from where you continue driving towards the hamlet Zagrad. In Zagrad (not at the junction 30m earlier) continue right (left Ostrič) and then after a few metres left on the upper road next to which there is a sign forest road use at your own risk (the right road joins the road leading to Veliki vrata). Follow this initially very bad road to a large clearing, which is the starting point of our tour (at the clearing the road turns into cart track).

Path description:
From the starting point, head to the clearing and climb in a gentle ascent to the upper part of the clearing. Here, on the right-hand side, you will see cart track (there are several tracks, but they all merge higher up), which goes into the wods and starts to climb moderately on the left-hand side of a larger sinkhole. After about 15 minutes of climbing on cart track, you will reach the marked path leading from Razsušica towards Plešivica.
Follow the marked path to the right (Razsušica, Medvižica and Ostrič to the left) and initially climb moderately through the dense forest. The occasionally less visible path then begins to descend more steeply and after a few minutes of descent leads us to a place where an unmarked track joins us from the valley. Continue in the direction of Slavnik (inscription on the rock) along the path which, with a few short ascents and descents, leads us to the end of the forest road, which comes from the Velika vrata (Great Gate) prevala.
Leave the road quickly, as the markings direct you to the left onto a marked track which climbs through the lane of the forest. After a climb of some 10 metres, the track turns left and we continue straight ahead on a slightly less visible but marked path, which climbs through increasingly sparse forest. The forest is quickly replaced by scrub (mainly juniper) and the path quickly leads us to the top of Mala Plešivica, with increasingly beautiful views.
