Access to starting point:
A) First, we drive to Ajdovščina, and then we continue driving towards Col. After a short ascent Ajdovščina ends, and further we are ascending diagonally on the road which is rising above Vipava valley. Good 50 meters before the road sign 5 km, we will on the right side of the road notice suitable place, where we can park.
B) From Godovič or Kalce pri Logatcu we drive to Col, and from there we continue driving towards Ajdovščina. At the road sign 5 km starts the described footpath, and we park about 50 meters ahead on an appropriate place on the opposite side of the road.
Path description:
At the road sign 5 km we notice the beginning of the cart track which from the main road branches off uphill. The path at first runs on a cart track, and then before a small torrent stream forest path branches off to the right, which after few steps turns left and crosses already mentioned intermittent well. On the other side, the path ascends a little steeper, and from the left joins a little wider footpath. We continue slightly right, on the path which quickly brings us out of the forest on a little larger clearing, where the path partly vanishes. Through the clearing, we continue straight upwards, and when the path returns into the forest it becomes again easy to follow and well visible. In the forest, the path turns slightly to the left and returns on a cart track, and there in few minutes we get to the spot, where we join the other, a little better beaten cart track, where another path from the main road Ajdovščina - Col joins.
We continue straight, after that on a smaller plain slightly right on a slightly ascending cart track, and from which we soon go right on a gradually steeper footpath (on the latter crossing we can also continue straight on a less steep path). Next follows few minutes of steeper path, and then we join the marked path from Ajdovščina.
We continue right, and at the nearby marked crossing once again right in the direction of Podrta gora. The path ahead in few hairpin turns ascends to cliffs of Podrta gora, where it turns right, and then with nice views on Vipava valley brings us to the inscription box and a stamp of Podrta gora.
From the inscription box, we continue on a marked path, which brings us into a smaller valley and on the nearby marked crossing, where we continue right in the direction of the path Pot po Robu (left Sinji vrh and Predmeja).
Next follows a shorter ascent on and by the ridge and then the path brings us to the summit of Kraguljc, which we recognize by small concrete stone (trigonometric point) on the top of the mountain.
From Kraguljc follows a short descent, and then the path for some time continues without large changes in altitude. A pleasant path further avoids the ridge a little to the left, and when it starts lightly ascending, it again gets closer to the ridge. Next follows only a short walk and the path brings us to Paragliding site Sončnica, inscription box is situated about a minute ahead at the marked crossing, where from the right joins also a marked path from the hunting cottage Budanje.
The starting point - Podrta gora 1:20, Podrta gora - Kraguljc 10 minutes, Kraguljc - Sončnica 15 minutes.
