Vodice (Mali Školj) - Javornik above Črni vrh

Access to the starting point:
First, take the Col (to get here from Ajdovščina, Predmeja, Godovič or Logatec), then continue driving in the direction of Vodice (the turn-off from the main road Ajdovščina - Godovič is marked). The road soon turns into a forest, where it starts to climb, and higher up it leads us past a couple of more crossroads, where we follow the signs for Vodice all the time. At the turn-off for Suhi Vrh, the road is laid, and a little further on it starts to descend a little. After a short descent, when you come out of the forest, you will see signs for Javornik along the road, pointing to the left, and a small parking lot and a small sign near them.

Path description:
At the starting point, you will see signs for Javornik, which direct you to the left to a marked track that starts descending on the left side of the macadam road. Soon we join the dirt road, and we follow it down to a point where the markings lead us slightly right onto a path that continues parallel to the road, then turns right into the woods. The slightly overgrown path soon leads to cart track, which turns right into the forest. Continue at several small crossroads, following the markings carefully, so that for a while you climb up the ascending track, which crosses a dirt road higher up. From the point where you cross the road, you climb quite steeply along the edge of an overgrown grassy slope. Cross another road higher up (the road leads to the Jeler homestead) and then take the wider road, which you follow to the right in the direction of Javornika. This time follow the road to a slight left turn, where a marking on a power pole directs you right into the woods. The path soon returns to the road which leads out of the forest and along it we arrive at the Rudolf homestead, from which we have a beautiful view of the surrounding hills. A little further on in the forest belt we arrive at the next crossroads, where we continue straight on (left Kresov hill, homestead Ježevi and also a possible approach to Javornik) along the road, which climbs crosswise. A little further on you reach a marked crossroads where you continue left (right Podkraj and Predjama) and then after 2 minutes of further walking you reach Pirnatova hut on Javornik.
From the hut continue left towards the tower and Javornika. The path to Javornik first ascends across a meadow and through a strip of forest, where it crosses cart track, and then leads to an increasingly scenic slope, from which a view opens up, which, with good visibility, extends very far. The path then returns to the forest and quickly leads to the Javornik lookout tower.
