Access to starting point:
A) From central Slovenia at first we drive in Logatec, and then we continue driving in the direction of Idrija. In Kalce at Logatec we turn left in the direction of Col, and then we continue driving on a winding road towards Col. In Colu we turn right and then after 100 meters left in the direction of Predmeja. Further, we drive on occasionally a little narrower and also partly winding road which we follow to the settlement Otlica, where at the church of Guardian angels we turn left in the direction of Otliško okno. We park about 50 meters ahead on a parking lot by the cemetery.
B) We drive to Idrija, and from there we continue driving towards Logatec. In the settlement Godovič we leave the main road towards Logatec and we continue driving right in the direction of Črni Vrh, Col and Ajdovščina. The mentioned road, we follow to Col, and there signs for Predmeja point us to the right. Further, we drive on occasionally a little narrower and also partly winding road which we follow to the settlement Otlica, where at the church of Guardian angels we turn left in the direction of Otliško okno. We park about 50 meters ahead on a parking lot by the cemetery.
C) From highway Razdrto - Nova Gorica we go to the exit Ajdovščina and we follow the road ahead towards the village Lokavec (to Lokavec we come from the center of Ajdovščina, or from old road Ajdovščina - Nova Gorica, where at settlement Cesta we turn right). From Lokavec we continue driving on ascending winding road in the direction of Predmeja. When the road flattens a little, we come to the crossroad, where we continue right towards Predmeja and Col. On the road towards Col we drive to Otlica, where at the church of Guardian angels we turn right towards the nearby cemetery. We park on a parking lot by the cemetery.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue on the right side of the cemetery on a narrower asphalt road in the direction of Otliško okno. On the road, we walk only for a short time because signs for Otliško okno point us to the left on a grassy cart track which a little further crosses a lane of bushes, and then by the grazing fence we quickly get near to a house. Here we continue right on a wider cart track, on which in few steps we get to a marked crossing.
From the crossing, we go left (right Predmeja and Čaven) and we continue few 10 meters left from the edge of plateau Gora. After a short gentle descent we reach the edge of plateau, where from the right side joins the path from the source of Hubelj.
Here we continue slightly left and we ascend to the spot, where a short path branches off to the left towards stone snail (snail is idea and work of architect Damjan Popelar, who in his artistic work is trying to connect the nature and culture).
We continue straight (left stone snail 2 minutes) and after few 10 strides of additional walking, we get to information boards above the window Otliško okno.
From the signposts, we continue right and we descend to the nearby window, through which a nice view opens up.
