​Pišece Forest Learning Trail

Length: 4.5 km (short routes possible)/ Duration: 2-3 h/ Starting point: “At the Mill” in Pišece

The Forest Trail is circular and starts in the village of Pišece, “At the Mill”. It will take you through the village, past the house where Maks Pleteršnik, well-known Slovenian linguist, used to live and work. You can also start “At the Pond”. Here, the road to Pišece Castle branches off from the local Pišece−Pavlova Vas road. 

The Forest Trail runs along the local road to Pišece Castle, turns onto the forest track, and ascends and descends to the forest road. At the Selna Stream turn left (upstream) and after 200m turn right to the forest track. You can make a short cut by taking a right turn on the forest track and descend back to the pond. Continue along the forest track, ascend slightly into the forest reserve, marked with two parallel blue lines on tree trunks. The forest reserve is also the highest point of the trail, which then descends along the forest tracks to a hunting lodge. You can return along the asphalt road towards the pond or descend towards the village of Pišece. The latter version is without doubt more picturesque.

Signs: The learning trail is marked with green and yellow sings and 11 points (At the Mill, At the Pond, Park at the Pišece Castle, What is Measured in the Forest, Forest Ground, Forest Road, Forest Stream, Artificial Forest, Forest Reserve, Natural Forest, Forest Wildlife, Viewpoint above the Hunting Lodge, Extreme Forest Habitats).
