Path description:
Go through the park and over the wooden bridges, and at the road turn first left and then soon right onto the Goriško road, which soon starts to climb. Follow the road all the way. Soon you reach the top of the hill, where you go straight ahead, direction Kovaški Vrh. Go downhill and continue left past the wood processing company on the road, which soon enters the forest. In the forest, at a crossroads, continue straight on (Kovaški Vrh on the right). Follow the local road, and soon a mountain signpost directs you left onto a smaller road, which turns into a dirt road at the chapel. From there, follow the macadam road to the forest, where you will soon turn left into the forest. It is also possible to park here, but the walking time is halved. Through the forest you follow a nice dirt road, which soon joins another road. Then you will quickly come out of the forest past the orchards, where you will turn left and pass the chapel to reach the asphalt road. Turn right here and after a few metres turn left into the forest on a fairly steep footpath. The path soon leads above a quarry, but we are protected from falling by a fence. Passing the quarry, we reach the ridge of Brinjeva gora, where we turn right and follow the ridge until we reach the Church of St Neže on the small peak Golika (608 m).
Passing the church, follow the macadam road down to a crossroads where you continue straight into the forest. Soon you will see a chapel on the right, a few metres after which the signs direct you to the right on a rocky path. This leads us to a lookout point at the top of Brinjeva Gora.
There are a couple of benches at the top and a registration book and stamp.
