Access to the starting point:
a) From central Slovenia, first drive to Logatec and then continue towards Idrija. At Kalce near Logatec, turn left towards Colo, then continue along the winding road towards Colo. Turn right at Colo and then left after 100 m in the direction of Predmeja. Continue along the road, which is sometimes a little narrower and also partly winding, to Otlica, where at the Church of the Guardian Angels turn left towards the Otlice Window. Park about 50 metres further on in the cemetery parking lot.
b) Drive to Idrija, and from there continue to Logatec. In Godovič, leave the main road towards Logatec and continue driving to the right in the direction of Črni Vrho, Cola and Ajdovščina. Follow the road to Colo, where signs for Predmeja point you to the right. Continue along the road, which is sometimes a little narrower and also partly winding, to Otlica, where you turn left at the Church of the Guardian Angels towards the Otliška Window. Park about 50 metres further on in the cemetery parking lot.
c) From the expressway Razdrto - Nova Gorica take the exit Ajdovščina and follow the road towards the village Lokavec (Lokavac can be reached from the centre of Ajdovščina, or from the old road Ajdovščina - Nova Gorica, where you turn right at the place Cesta). From Lokavac, continue driving along the ascending winding road in the direction of Predmeja. When the road levels out a bit, you will come to a crossroads, where you continue to the right towards Predmeja and Colo. Follow the road towards Col on Otlica, turning right at the Church of the Holy Guardian Angels towards the nearby cemetery. Park in the cemetery parking lot.
Path description:
From the parking lot, continue along the right-hand side of the cemetery along the narrow asphalt road towards the Otliška Window. Walk along 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 grazing fence in the vicinity of a nearby house. Here, continue right onto the wider cart track, which takes a few steps to reach a marked crossroads.
From the crossroads continue left (Predmeja and Čaven on the right) and follow the path a few 10 metres to the left from the edge of the Gora plateau. After a short, steep descent, we reach the edge of the plateau, where the path from the source of the Hubl joins from the right.
Here, continue slightly to the left and climb up to where a short path branches off to the left to a stone snail (the snail is the idea and work of architect Damjan Popelar, whose artistic work seeks to link nature and culture).
Continue straight ahead (left stone snail 2 minutes) and after a further 10 steps you will reach the information boards above the Otlis window.
From the signs, continue to the right and descend to the nearby window, which offers a beautiful view.
