A) We drive to Nova Gorica, and then we continue driving towards Tolmin and Kobarid. Main road towards Tolmin we follow only to Solkan, where at the traffic light crossroad we continue right in the direction of Sveta Gora and Grgar. An ascending road further leads past the quarry Solkan, after that a little higher turns sharply to the right and it brings us to the inn Skalnica, behind which we continue slightly left in the direction of Sveta Gora. Further, we drive on a narrower asphalt road, by which we park on an appropriate place by the road (best before first cross, which we will notice on the left side of the road).

Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue on the road by which we've parked, and already after few steps of walking, it brings us to a crossing. We continue on the road (left footpath), which is relatively steeply ascending and after approximately 1 hour of walking, it brings us to a large parking lot. Here we continue right and we in few steps ascend to the top of Sveta gora, where there stands a pilgrimage church.
The ascent on the road is appropriate for the rainy days. And on weekends and religious holidays, the road is full of cars.
