1. Snežnik Trail

Snežnik Trail

The course

Start and finish are at  Črne njive above Ilirska Bistrica. The rugged route is led along well-fortified macadam paths between tall pine trees and flowering karst grasslands. The track, which mainly climbs in the first part, is led under the picturesque ridge of Milanje, which is also known as Volovja reber. This is followed by a run along macadam paths through the mighty beech-fir forest of the Snežniška Plateau all the way to the top of Snežnik, where you will catch a view of the Kvarner Bay and the sea in good weather. This is followed by a descent over Sviščake, along the paths and  open landscape to Kozlek. Along the viewing edge, you will go down the paths through the black pine forest and through dry karst meadows to your destination.
