Solarji - Planinski dom pod Ježo

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:
On the opposite side of "parking lot" we notice a mountain signpost with the caption Ježa and mountain hut Planinski dom pod Ježo, which points us on a gently sloping and relatively overgrown cart track. Cart track soon changes into a footpath, and it starts at first gently, and then steeper and steeper descending. The path ahead leads us past old military cavern and behind it brings us to short spot, which is secured with a steel cable (undemanding). A short descent follows and the path brings us to a macadam road which we reach right at the smaller crossroad. Here we continue on the left road, and from there we soon turn right on ascending and at first a wide cart track. A short time we follow the cart track, and then signs for Ježa point us to the right on a footpath which starts ascending steeper through the forest. Worse beaten and on some spots also more overgrown footpath higher flattens and brings us out of the forest on partly panoramic upper ridge of Ježa, on which in few 10 strides we walk to the inscription box.
From the top of Ježa we continue on a marked path in the direction of the mountain hut Planinski dom pod Ježo. The path from the very peak immediately passes into the forest, through which is descending to a marked crossing.
At the crossing, the path branches off to the left on Očna, and we continue straight on the path which for some time flattens and for a short time even slightly ascends. A little further, the path starts descending steeply through the forest, so that we quickly losing the altitude. After few minutes of descent, we get to a forest road which we only cross and we are already at the mountain hut Planinski dom pod Ježo.
To the starting point, we can return on the macadam road.
