The trail begins in Majlont, the oldest part of Postojna. The archaeological remains along the trail reveal the history of the town, from traces of a prehistoric settlement to the mighty medieval Postojna Castle, the former Castle Chapel of St Ursula, and the castle estate buildings. Along the slopes of the hill, you will also see the remains of defensive trenches and a military bunker dating from the 20th century.
At the summit of Sovič stand the ruins of Postojna Castle (Adelsberg), also known as the Old Castle, along with military tunnels and a spectacular viewpoint. From here, sweeping views extend across the town and the Pivka River plain. The outline of Nanoščica can be seen in the distance, and the panorama is framed by the peaks of Nanos, Suhi Vrh, Debeli Vrh, and Hrušica. On the way to the top, two viewing platforms offer a place to pause for a bit.
You can also return to the town via the Nature Trail, offering the opportunity to discover the other side of Sovič.
Although this is an easy trail, we recommend wearing appropriate walking or sports footwear.
