Access to the starting point:
a) First drive to Ajdovščina, then continue driving to Col. After a short climb, Ajdovščina ends, and we continue cross-climbing along the road that rises above the Vipava valley. Just 50 metres before the 5 km marker, you will see a suitable parking spot on the right hand side of the road.
b) From Godovič or Kalce near Logatec, take the Col, and from there continue towards Ajdovščina. At the 5 km marker, the footpath described above begins, and you can park about 50 metres further on in a suitable space on the opposite side of the road.
Path description:
At the 5 km road marker, note the beginning of cart track, which branches off the main road into the bank. The path initially follows cart track, then before a small torrential stream, a forest path branches off to the right, which after a few steps turns left and crosses the aforementioned intermittent spring. On the other side, the path climbs a little more, and a slightly wider path joins from the left. Continue slightly to the right, following the path, which quickly leads out of the forest to a slightly larger clearing, where the path partly disappears. Continue straight up through the clearing, then when the path returns to the forest it becomes traceable and visible again. In the forest the path turns slightly to the left and returns to cart track, and after a few minutes we reach a place where we join another, a little better-beaten cart track, where another path from the main road Ajdovščina - Col joins us.
Continue straight ahead, then at a slight leveling off, turn slightly right onto the slightly ascending cart track, from which you soon turn right onto a gradually steeper path (at the latter crossroads you can also continue straight ahead on a less steep path). Follow the steeper path for a few minutes, then join the marked path from Ajdovščina. Continue straight ahead for a few minutes. Follow the steeper path, then join the marked path from Ajdovščina.
Continue to the right, and at a nearby marked crossroads turn right again in the direction of Podrta gora. The way forward climbs in a few serpentines to the cliffs of Podrta gora, where it turns right, and then, with beautiful views of the Vipava valley, leads us to the registration box and the stamp of Podrta gora.
From the registration box, continue along the marked trail, which leads us into a small valley and to a nearby marked crossroads, where we continue to the right in the direction of the Edge trail (Sinji vrh and Predmeja on the left).
There is a short climb along and along the ridge, and then the trail leads to the top of Kraguljc, which can be identified by a small concrete stone (trigonometric point) at the top of the mountain.
There is a short descent from Kraguljc, and then the trail continues for some time without any major changes in altitude. The pleasant path then retreats slightly to the left, and then, as it begins to climb gently, approaches the ridge again. A short walk follows and the trail leads to the Sončnica airstrip, with the registration box located a minute further on at a marked crossroads, where the marked trail from the Budanje hunting lodge joins from the right. Continue in the direction Kovka along a grassy slope, following the path that runs along the edge of the cliffs. Later, the path climbs steeply and after a few minutes of further walking leads us to the scenic summit of Kovka.
Starting point - Podrta gora 1:20, Podrta gora - Kraguljc 10 minutes, Kraguljc - Sončnica 15 minutes, Sončnica - Kovk 25 minutes.
We can extend the trip to the following destinations: Sinji vrh
