Access to starting point:
From Ljubljana, we drive towards Idrija. When we come to Idrija at the second traffic light crossroad we turn right towards Spodnja Idrija (4 km). Immediately, when we get to Spodnja Idrija, on the left side we notice a chapel and stairs, which lead towards the church. Here we park or about fifty meters ahead on the main road, at store we turn right on a parking lot at the culture house.
Path description:
From the chapel we go on the stairs to the church Marija na Skalci, which current form is from the year 1674, and the first mentions date in the 12th century. At the church, we turn left past the chapel of rest towards the end of the cemetery, where we come to a gully Šolska grapa. We go right, where we come on a meadow, where used to be a homestead Na Brd, burned during 2nd world war. We ascend by plantation of spruces towards the ridge. We follow the path by the ridge, we all the time walk left above the gully Šolska grapa. Somewhere after 20 minutes of walking, we come on a saddle, where the path splits. We turn left, still above the gully Šolska grapa (right path goes on Vranji greben). In front of us are steep ascents and descents into a smaller gullies, which we cross, after few meters we descend to bigger gully, from which footpath is turning left and we are relatively quickly on a ridge, where we turn right. On a panoramic ridge we continue steep upwards, meanwhile there are some steep parts (in wet watch out slipping!) and then we come to a saddle. Sign on a tree points us left towards the summit. Follows only 5 minutes of steep rocky ascent and the peak is here.
