From the crossroad, we drive good 100 meters and then we park on a larger macadam parking lot on the left side of the road.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we cross the road, and then we continue in the direction of a marked path on Škabrijel. On the other side of the road, we at first continue on a rocky cart track, and after the crossing of a power line, from where a nice view opens up on Solkan bridge with the largest stone arch in the world, we get to a crossing, by which there is a small bench.
From the crossing, we continue straight (left normal path on Škabrijel from Prevala) and on a cart track at first we slightly descend, and then we start gently to moderately ascending. The path continues through the forest, only on short part a view opens up a little towards Sveta Gora, river Soča and Sabotin. Higher, when the path entirely flattens, we get to a crossing, where we continue left in the direction of the path on Škabrijel (straight Kekec).
From the crossing ahead we walk on a little narrower cart track, and the path there leads past renovated Hungarian pyramid. Higher, the signs for Škabrijel from the cart track point us to the left on a marked footpath which then past the bivouac Štefan in a moderate ascent brings us to the summit of Škabrijel, where there stands a metal lookout tower, from which a nice view opens up.
