Gornje Poljane

Gornje Poljane (1065 m) is the highest-lying hamlet in southern Slovenia. You can hike there on a waymarked trail from Viševek or bike on a gravel road starting near Babna Polica.

Notes

Start in Pudob or park at the Snežnik Castle (I started from the Cherry House in Kozarišče), then follow the main road toward Babno Polje (boring) or detour through Vrh and Babna Polica.
To get to Vrh, you could follow the main road toward Babno Polje, then turn right toward Vrh (also dull) or use the Loška Dolina Heritage Route.
You’ll find the yellow signs for Loška Dolina Heritage Route (Pot dediščine Loške doline) in Kozarišče. If you’re starting from Pudob, turn right toward Kozarišče, then go straight onto a gravel road when the asphalt road makes a right turn, and then take the next left.
The gravel road is short (but steep) and quickly leads to the asphalt road toward Vrh, just above the tiny church of Holy Family.
Continue the ascent on the asphalt road until you reach Babna Polica. Turn left before the village.
Cross the Lož-Babno Polje main road to reach the gravel road toward Gornje Poljane (you could also park there, but what’s the point?).
After a hefty dose of huffing and puffing, you’ll reach the beautiful meadows below Gornje Poljane and the hamlet.
Don’t forget to take the steep footpath into the forest to reach the Saint Andrew church above the hamlet.

I used the same route to return to Kozarišče.
You could skip the detour through Babna Polica and use the main road to return to Pudob.
If you have a mountain bike (and know how to use it), try taking the waymarked path toward Viševek.
