Rodik - Ajdovščina

Access to starting point:
A) From highway Ljubljana - Koper we go to the exit Divača, after that from a roundabout we continue on exit in the direction of Kozina and Škocjan caves. Further, we drive through the underpass below the highway, on the main road towards Kozina we drive to a crossroad, where the road towards the settlement Rodik branches off to the left. When we get to Rodik, at the crossroad at the house with house number Rodik 2, we continue left and then we drive on a narrower road which leads us between numerous houses. Through the village we follow "instinct", that we have to get above the village, where it starts cycling path (macadam road), which leads towards Artviže (in Rodik are signs for the mentioned cycling path). We park above the village on an appropriate place near the pumping station Rodik 2. Further driving is forbidden.

From traffic light crossroad in Kozina we continue straight (left Trst, right Ilirska Bistrica) on the road Rodiška cesta, on which we continue to the settlement Rodik.

Path description:
From pumping station Rodik 2 we continue on a macadam road which is closed for public traffic and which leads towards Artviže. At first the road quite steeply ascend, and then it brings us to the smaller crossroad, where we continue sharply right (straight Artviže). We continue the ascent on still steep road which is ascending on slopes of the peak Ajdovščina. Higher, the road is turning more and more to the left, meanwhile it is changing into a cart track. When we get on an indistinct ridge Čuk, we need to pay attention, because we will soon leave a wider cart track and continue with the ascent left on a narrow cart track which it is moderately ascending (if we get to the near hunting cottage, we are already too far). Next few minutes of a moderate ascent follows, and then the path brings us on peak Ajdovščina, where there stands a metal container.
