Access to starting point:
A) From Nova Gorica or from Tolmin we drive towards Bovec. Only a little after the roundabout, where join roads from Nova Gorica and Tolmin, we get to a crossroad, where the road towards the mountain pass Solarji and Kolovrat branches off to the left. The road then brings us by the edge of Volče, where a signpost for saddle Solarji points us right on the road which after the last houses starts ascending steeper. Further, we drive on an asphalt road which after few kilometers of ascent brings us on a saddle, where there is also a crossroad of roads. Here we continue on the left bottom road, by which we already after few meters park on a large parking lot (we park the way we don't hinder possible forestry work).
B) From Bovec, we drive towards Tolmin, and we follow the road to the spot, where a road towards Kolovrat branches off to the right (turn-off is marked and is located only a little before the roundabout, where the road splits towards Nova Gorica and Tolmin). The road then brings us by the edge of Volče, where a signpost for saddle Solarji points us right on the road which after the last houses starts ascending steeper. Further, we drive on an asphalt road which after few kilometers of ascent brings us on a saddle, where there is also a crossroad of roads. Here we continue on the left bottom road, by which we already after few meters park on a large parking lot (we park the way we don't hinder possible forestry work).
Path description:
From the parking lot, we return to a crossroad, and there at the stop sign, we notice the beginning of the path which leads towards the summit Na gradu. The path immediately starts ascending, and at first, it leads through bushes (in the autumn we will here notice ripe fruits of hazel). Further, we quickly ascend on an indistinct peak Platena, from which we descend to near the asphalt road. Next follows a short part of the path on the road, and signs for the peak Na gradu quickly point us to the left on the path which ascends through a lane of a low forest. The path ahead brings us to an old military path, on which by defense embankment we ascend to grassy slopes of the peak Na gradu. By the edge of a meadow, we ascend on a smaller saddle, and from there we continue left and after 2 minutes of additional walking, we step on a panoramic peak.
On the way: Platena (1038m)
