Jamce - Sinji vrh (west path)

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. Continue straight ahead on 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 path, which leads into a small valley and to a nearby marked crossroads, where you continue to the left in the direction of the Edge Trail (to the right Kovk along the Edge Trail). Continue along the edge of the plateau along the ridge of Podrta gora. From the highest point of Podrta gora there is a short descent and the path leads into a small valley where, at a less well-marked crossroads, there is the next registration box, which is fixed near the plague sign.
Before the sign, continue right (straight marked path along the edge, also Sinji vrh over Črne stene) in the direction of Sinji vrh, and then immediately after the sign, left on a beaten but no longer marked path. There is a short, easy traverse downhill to a slightly larger meadow, where the track disappears. Cross the meadow and continue across to the right, quickly reaching an abandoned house. Just before the house, cross the road and we continue to the courtyard of the house, passing the house on the right. After the house, you will come out onto a road, which you will follow as it begins to turn to the left. After a few minutes, we reach a wider dirt road, which is the marked Angelska Gora trail, and we follow it to the left (right Sinji vrh - eastern trail). Continue along the macadam road, which continues through a grassy valley. After a few minutes of further walking, you reach a small crossroads where you turn right (the left road ends at a house a few minutes away) onto a slightly worse forest road. Just after the crossroads, one section of the Angelska Gora trail branches off to the left, and we continue along the road, where there are still signs for the Angelska Gora trail. The slightly ascending road turns into a forest and soon leads us to a small crossroads where a worse road branches off to the right. Continue straight ahead or slightly left here, and then, after the beech tree, where you see No 33, continue slightly right, onto the minor road, which ends after a few metres of descent. At the point where the road ends or changes to cart track, continue straight on to a path which climbs slightly steeper in passing. The path soon turns slightly to the left and then, after a short cross-climb, widens to cart track, which leads to a memorial and a small hut. The hut is bypassed on the right and we follow the increasingly wider cart track, arriving in a few minutes on an asphalt road, where we join the waymarked trail.
Follow the road to the right, past a bench with a table, to a crossroads, where you continue to the right in the direction of Sinji vrh (if you continue to the left you will reach the main road Col - Predmeja). A slightly steeper climb follows, and the road leads past an apartment house and a higher left serpentine to the guesthouse Sinji vrh, where the road ends. At the guesthouse there is a SPP stamp, and in front of the guesthouse we continue to the right on a footpath, which in about 3 minutes of further walking will take us up to the Sinji vrh lookout.
