Access to starting point:
First, we drive to Tolmin, from there we follow the road in the direction of Zatolmin (main road we leave at the traffic light). In Zatolmin we notice signposts for Javorca, which point us on an ascending road towards Javorca. Occasionally quite narrow and in parts precipitous road after approximately 8 km of driving brings us to a smaller crossroad, where the road towards Javorca branches off to the left upwards. Here we turn left and we follow the road for good 100 meters to a marked parking lot.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue on a concrete road which quickly comes in the forest and starts ascending steeply. After approximately 15 minutes of walking, forest gets thinner, and the road turns sharply to the right. Next follows only few minutes of walking by the edge of pastures and the road brings us to the memorial church of the Holy Spirit on Javorca.
