The Green Karst is the land of Martin Krpan, one of the most famous Slovenian literary heroes. A distinctive rebel, he was engaged in smuggling salt, which was forbidden at the time. With his cleverness and ingenuity, he surprised the emperor and empress, and with his physical strength, he defeated the mighty Brdavs and protected the empire from the Turkish invasion.
The trail is a multi-day adventure for all lovers of activity in unspoiled nature, among natural and cultural landmarks. It takes you past drying lakes, karst caves, castle ruins, and preserved manors. Along the way through forests, meadows, and pastures, you can admire the colorful plant world. You might also spot a roe deer or fox, and with great luck, even a bear.
The trail is primarily a hiking trail and is marked as such in nature. Except for four shorter detours, it is also suitable for cycling. Hikers and cyclists are assisted by the Great Krpan Trail map, which shows both the hiking and cycling routes, includes a QR code for GPS track access, and offers two suggested route extensions.
The legendary literary folk hero in the story by Slovenian writer Fran Levstik started the route in Pivka, crossed the Javorniki forest massif through Šilentabor and the upper Pivška basin to the edge of Lake Cerknica. The trail continues towards the Loška valley, where it begins to climb up to the Bloška plateau near Snežnik castle; from there it is possible to continue over Slivnica or descend the steep slope to the Cerknica field with an exceptional view of Lake Cerknica. The route then leads through the picturesque Rak Škocjan, where it climbs to Postojna. From there, the trail takes you along the Pivka river basin to the hill of Sv. Trojica and back to the starting point in Pivka.
