Access to starting point:
We drive on the highway from Razdrto towards Nova Gorica or vice versa and go to the exit Ajdovščina. Then at the crossroad (first traffic light) we continue straight in the direction of Col and Idrija. At the second traffic light we turn right, again in the direction of Col and we follow the road only few ten meters to the spot, where we cross river Hubelj. And immediately after the bridge we turn left in the direction of source of Hubelj (by the road we notice tourist signs). We follow this road to the source of Hubelj, where a macadam road branches off to the right, which ascends past the abandoned military buildings. On this road we drive to the spot, where we notice signs for Kovk. We park on a smaller parking lot by the road.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we go left on a footpath in the direction of Kovk. The path which moderately ascends already after few minutes brings us on a cart track which we follow to the left. And cart track on which we walk soon has a crossing, where we continue right. And only a little ahead cart track has another crossing, where we again continue right. Ahead cart track brings us below the power line, and after which it changes into a footpath which starts ascending steeper. Ascent then continues for quite some time and the path after a good hour of walking, it brings us to the chapel after which we soon come to a pleasant resting place with a nice view. Here is also a crossing of paths and we continue in the direction of Sinji vrh on a cart track which at first slightly ascends and then it is gradually descending. When the path ascends we again step on the road, where we continue left upwards (to the right, the road at the last house in the village ends). After few minutes walk and on the road we come to a crossroad, where we continue right and then after few meters once again right. The road which is further a little steeper ascending higher brings us to another crossroad, where we again continue right. Follows 700 more meters of walking on the road to boarding house Sinji vrh. Here the road ends and we continue on an unmarked path towards Sinji vrh, which we reach after three minutes. Orientation in the last part isn't difficult.
PS: by the path, we will occasionally notice some faded blazes.
