Path description:
From the crossroad on the eastern side of the church we go on a side road, by which there are signs for cave Ruska jama. The path ahead leads us on a macadam road, where we at first on the left bypass a bigger structure, and then we also on the right side bypass abandoned buildings of the territorial defense in Kostanjevica na Krasu. Few minutes ahead at the crossing of the roads, we choose the left one (on the right we reach the ridge of Črni hribi between Veliki vrh and Renški vrh), and there we are then lightly descending.
And when after some time we start lightly ascending, from a triangular crossroad we continue right (left cave Ruska jama and Cerje), and we are then moderately ascending to a saddle, where we reach the marked path Cerje - Trstelj.
On the saddle, we leave the road and we continue right towards Trstelj (left - Fajti hrib and Cerje) and we start ascending towards 463 meters high Veliki vrh, which we reach after approximately 20 minutes of ascent through the forest and bushes.
