Path description:
From the parking lot, continue along the right-hand side of the cemetery on the narrow asphalt road towards Otliško okno. Follow the road for a short distance as the signs for Otliško okno direct you left onto a grassy cart track, which crosses lane bushes a little further on, and then you quickly arrive at a pasture fence near a nearby house. Here, continue right onto the wider cart track, which takes a few steps to reach a marked crossroads.
From the crossroads, go right in the direction of Predmeja and Čavna and continue along the gently sloping path, which bypasses the nearby Otliški maj on the right. A little further on, we join the path leading from Otliško okno over the top of Majski dol, and we continue straight ahead. We continue along the edge of the Gora plateau, and the path leads us through several short strips of forest and scrub. Later, the path climbs moderately and leads us in a few minutes to Dolski maj, from which we have a beautiful view of the Vipava valley, Čavno and Golaki.
