Vitovlje - Vitovski hrib (west path)

Access to starting point:
A) From highway Vipava - Nova Gorica we go to the exit Selo, and then we continue driving on a regional road towards Nova Gorica and Šempas. After few kilometers of driving, we get to the village Vitovlje, where we turn right in the direction of farm Maloščevo. A little further, the road splits into two parts (Vitovlje circular path), and we continue right, and in the next crossroads, we stick to the left direction. The relatively steep road higher leads through the hamlet Vožice, where it turns a little more to the left. From hamlet we drive for a short time, and then we get to a large event venue and sports field in Vitovlje, where we park.
B) From Nova Gorica, we drive to Šempas, and from there we continue driving on the old road towards Ajdovščina. When we get to the village Vitovlje we turn left in the direction of farm Maloščevo. A little further, the road splits into two parts (Vitovlje circular path), and we continue right, and in the next crossroads, we stick to the left direction. The relatively steep road higher leads through the hamlet Vožice, where it turns a little more to the left. From hamlet we drive for a short time, and then we get to a large event venue and sports field in Vitovlje, where we park.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we at first walk to an asphalt road and there we continue left. After a minute or two we get to a marked crossing, where we continue right in the direction of the church and Vitovlje Lake.
From the crossing, we continue on a rough macadam road which quickly passes into the forest, through which it is gently to moderately ascending. It does not take long and we already get to the next well-marked crossing, where we leave a worse road and we continue the ascent left in the direction of the church Vitovska cerkev (straight the path past the Vitovlje Lake). We continue on a gently sloping path, which crosses slopes towards the left, and further it even slightly descends. When the short descent ends, we continue right (straight we get to Vitovlje on one of several paths) on a gradually steeper path. The path which runs through the forest leads us past a smaller rocky chapel, where it for some time entirely flattens. Next follows a short moderate ascent, and then we join a wider path, which we follow to the right, and there we quickly ascend to a viewpoint right below Vitovski hrib. Here we continue left and in few steps we ascend to the near church Vitovska cerkev.
