Access to starting point:
From highway Vipava - Nova Gorica we go to the exit Selo and follow the road ahead in the direction of village Črniče and Šempas. When we come to the village Vitovlje we need to pay attention, because we will in the middle of the village leave the main road and continue to drive in the direction of farm Maloščevo (turn-off is marked). Further, we drive through the village on a narrow and steep road which higher brings us to the signpost with the caption »Vitovska krožna pot«. We continue left past last houses on the more and more steep road which only a little higher changes into a macadam road by which we then park (most appropriate parking spot is between fourth and fifth Station of the Cross).
Path description:
From the starting point, which is called Križišče, we continue on a rough macadam road which already after few minutes of walking, it brings us to a well-marked crossing, where the marked path towards Trpinovšče, memorial plaque and Vodice branches off to the left. We continue on the right path, which past the Stations of the Cross brings us to the next well-marked crossing near the peak Vitovski hrib. We again continue right and increasingly rough road which here finally changes into a cart track we follow to a panoramic summit, on which stands a church.
