Access to the starting point:
a) Drive to Nova Gorica, then continue to Tolmin and Kobarid. Follow the main road towards Tolmin only as far as Solkan, where at the semaphoreised junction turn right towards Sveta Gora and Grgar. The ascending road continues past the quarry Solkan, then turns sharp right at a slightly higher altitude and leads to the Skalnica Inn, after which continue slightly left in the direction of Sveta Gora. Continue along the narrow asphalt road, parking at a suitable place along the road (preferably before the first cross, which you will notice on the left side of the road).
b) From Tolmin or Most na Soči take the main road towards Nova Gorica, then just before Nova Gorica, more precisely at the traffic lights at Solkan, turn left in the direction of Sveta Gora and Grgar. The ascending road leads us past the quarry Solkan, then a little higher up it turns sharp right and leads us to the Skalnica Inn, after which we continue slightly left in the direction of Svete Gora. Continue along the narrow asphalt road, parking at a suitable place along the road (preferably before the first cross, which you will notice on the left side of the road).
c) From Goriško Brda, drive to Solkan, where at the first crossroads after the new Solkan bridge, continue straight on towards Svete Gora. The ascending road continues past the quarry Solkan, then turns sharp right at a slightly higher elevation and leads to the Skalnica Inn, after which we continue slightly left in the direction of Svatá Gora. Continue along the narrow asphalt road, parking at a suitable place along the road (preferably before the first cross, which you will notice on the left side of the road).

Path description:
From the parking lot, continue along the road, but only for a few tens of metres, and then signs direct you left onto a footpath. The path, which climbs gently at first, eventually leads to a small crossroads, where you continue upwards to the right. The path continues to climb steeply and after a good 20 minutes of further walking leads us to the road. You can continue along the road, or you can follow the footpath that climbs alongside it. In either case, you will reach the top in five minutes.
