Access to starting point:
From Nova Gorica, we drive towards Tolmin or vice versa, and we follow the road to the settlement Ročinj, where signs for Kambreško point us to the left (and from the direction Tolmin to the right). After 4 km we come in Kambreško, and at the crossroad in the middle of the village we turn right towards Srednje and Livek. Further, we drive on at first still asphalt road, and then it changes into macadam and it brings us to the mountain hut Planinski dom pod Ježo, where on an appropriate place by the road we park.
To the starting point, we can also come from the mountain pass Solarji, and to mountain pass from Volče or Livek.
Path description:
From the parking lot at the mountain hut Planinski dom pod Ježo at first we cross a macadam road, and then we go on a footpath in the direction of Očna, Na gradu and Ježa. The path goes immediately from the road in the forest, through which it starts ascending steeply. After approximately 15 minutes of walking, the path flattens and it brings us to a marked crossing, where the path on Očna and Deveti konfin branches off to the right (by the crossing is only a sign for Očna).
We continue in the mentioned direction (straight Ježa) and we continue on the more and more overgrown footpath. After few minutes at fallen spruce footpath entirely vanishes, and we follow the blazes, because those quickly take us to a wide cart track which we follow to the right. After few steps of walking on a cart track marked path on Deveti konfin branches off to the left (5 minutes), and we follow the cart track for few minutes, or all the way to its end at lonely wooden cottage.
From the cottage, by which there is also wide artificially carved tunnel, we continue on a path which starts ascending steeper through the forest and lane of bushes. After a short ascent on overgrown slope we quickly get to a concrete column on Očna.
From the column we continue few more 10 strides ahead and the path brings us out of the forest on a panoramic meadow.
