Col - Sinji vrh (via Črne stene)

Access to the starting point:
a) From the expressway Razdrto - Nova Gorica, take the Ajdovščina exit and then continue in the direction of Cola and Idrija. When you reach Col turn left towards Predmeja and then after a few metres turn right into the parking lot opposite the parish church on Col. You can also park in the parking lot next to the nearby sports ground.
b) Drive to Logatec, and from there continue to Idrija. At the end of Kalce, turn left in the direction of Podkraj and Cola, then follow the slightly curvier road first to Podkraj, then follow the slightly flatter road to Cola. At Col, where you join the road from Ajdovščina, turn right and then after a few 10 metres turn left in the direction of Predmeja. Towards Predmeja, drive only a few metres, as just after the crossroads turn right into the parking lot opposite the church of St. Lenart.
c) Drive into Idrija, then continue towards Logatec. When you reach Godovič, leave the main road towards Logatec and turn right in the direction of Črnji Vrho, Cola and Ajdovščina. When you reach Col, turn right towards Otlica and Predmeja and then right again into the nearby parking lot opposite the church.

Path description:
From the parking lot opposite the church on Col, continue along the main asphalted road towards Predmeja. After about 5 minutes of walking on the asphalt road, you will come to a place where the signs for the Edge Trail direct you to the left onto a worse forest road. The rather slippery road soon turns into cart track, which continues through a pleasant pine forest. The well-marked mountain path leaves the cart track at a small clearing and continues along a wider path, which continues for some time through the dense forest. A little higher up, we come out of the forest onto grassy slopes, which we only cross, and then the markings lead us left onto a slightly steeper path, which in a few minutes takes us up to the scenic peak Kovka.
From the summit, descend to the south-west and continue along a slightly less visible path that runs along the edge of the plateau above the steep viewing slopes. The path soon becomes a gentle slope and then leads over grassy terrain to a crossroads, where a marked path from hunting hut Budanje joins us from the left (near the crossroads there is a registration box "Sončnica").
Continue straight ahead and follow the path along the edge of the plateau on the scenic terrain, which will take you to the Sončnica airstrip in a minute or two.
From the airstrip, follow the marked trail westwards along the edge of the plateau. After a few short ascents and descents, you will quickly reach the Kraguljc peak, identified by a small concrete stone (trigonometric point) at the top of the mountain.
From the top, there is an easy descent along the ridge Kraguljc, from where we occasionally have beautiful views of the Vipava valley, and then we arrive at a marked crossroads, where the marked path from Ajdovščina joins us on the left.
Continue straight ahead in the direction of the Edge trail (30 metres to the left, signpost and registration box for Podrte gora) and continue along the edge of the plateau for a few minutes. From the highest point of Podrta gora, there is a short descent and the path leads into a small valley where, at a less marked crossroads, there is the next registration box, which is fixed near the plague marker. Continue straight on in the direction of the Edge Trail (Sinji vrh West and East Trail on the right), following the trail as it climbs to the 830 m high Pravi vrh, and then continues along and along the ridge of Črne stene, the highest peak of which reaches 844 m. After a few minutes of easy and pleasant walking, the route passes relatively high above the Vipava valley, which can be admired for most of the way.
Follow the path along the Edge to the pleasant viewpoint at Rub, where the path over the Old Babes joins from the left.
Here, by the electricity pylons, the signs for Sinji vrh direct us right onto cart track, which climbs gently at first and then gradually descends. When the path climbs again, get on the road and turn left up the road (to the right, the road ends at the last house in the village). After walking along the road for a few minutes, you will come to a crossroads, where you turn right and then right again after a few metres. The road, which continues to climb slightly higher, leads us to another crossroads, where we again continue to the right. Then walk another 700 m along the road to Pension Sinji vrh. Here the road ends and you continue along an unmarked path towards Sinji vrh, which you reach after three minutes. Orientation is not difficult in the last part.
