Access to starting point:
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).
B) From Tolmin or Most na Soči we drive on the main road towards Nova Gorica, after that only a little before Nova Gorica, more precisely at the traffic light crossroad in Solkan we turn left in the direction of Sveta Gora and Grgar.

C) From Goriška Brda we drive to Solkan, where at the first crossroad after new Solkan bridge we continue straight in the direction of Sveta Gora. 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.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue on the road, but only few ten meters and then blazes point us to the left on a footpath. The path which is at first ascending gently, eventually brings us to a smaller crossing, where we continue right upwards. The path ahead steeply ascends and after good 20 minutes of additional walking brings us on the road. Ahead we can continue on the road, or on the footpath which ascends next to it. In both cases in five minutes we reach the peak.
