Access to starting point:
A) First, we drive to Nova Gorica, and then we continue driving in the direction of Bovec and Tolmin. Further, we drive through the valley of Soča, on the main road, we drive to the settlement Plave, where at the crossroad, where a road branches off to the right in Paljevo there is the beginning of the described path. Because by the starting point, there aren't any parking spots, we have to park somewhere else, best on some appropriate place by the road before or after the settlement, or on the other side of the river Soča near the church or somewhere on the periphery of the village.
B) We drive to the settlement Most na Soči, and from there we drive towards Nova Gorica. When we get to the settlement Plave, or to a crossroad, where a road branches off to the left towards the settlement Paljevo we are at the beginning of the described path. Because by the starting point, there aren't any parking spots, we have to park somewhere else, best on some appropriate place by the road before or after the settlement, or on the other side of the river Soča near the church or somewhere on the periphery of the village.
Path description:
From the settlement Plave we continue on the asphalt road in the direction of Paljevo. The path at first leads past few houses, and then it quickly brings us to the left hairpin turn, where on a smaller building there is NOB monument. We continue on quite a panoramic road, and past the bench it brings us to the right hairpin turn, where in the direction of straight continues a footpath on Prižnica (survey point 383), and we continue right, further on the road. Further, we for some time cross the slopes towards the right, and then a little after the crossing of a torrent stream in a zig zag road turns sharply left. From the road, on which we still walk a nice view opens up towards Korada and Prižnica. And when the road from slopes almost passes on more plain terrain, on the right side we notice a cart track and next to it unofficial signs for Kuk.
Here first path branches off to the right on Kuk, and we continue on the road, on which we soon get to few houses in the settlement Paljevo. We continue on the asphalt road which crosses a lane of a forest, and when the forest ends, before the route of a power line we continue right on at first grassy cart track which after few meters becomes worse forest road, and it passes into the forest. Further, we are for some time ascending on the mentioned road which all the time runs near the power line, and higher we join a wider road which comes from the upper part of the settlement Paljevo.
Immediately after that, when roads join, at the information board they again split. We continue on the right road which is then mostly gently to moderately ascending on northwestern slopes of Kuk. A little higher, at the smaller crossroad we continue straight, and then on a slightly steeper road we continue all the way to a marked crossroad, which is situated south from Kuk.
From the crossing, the road branches off sharply to the right, on which we can get to the settlement Zagora and Zagomila, sharp to the right a path branches off on Kuk, and we continue straight past the monument, which was placed in June 1916 to commandant of 1st mountain brigade FML Guido Novak von Arienti. Behind the monument, the road turns a little to the left, and after few minutes brings us to a hamlet Vodice. After Vodice we leave the road and we continue right in the direction of a monument (caption on a sign). The path ahead turns a little more to the right and it brings us out of the forest on a grassy meadow, where we continue by the outer edge of the grazing fence. With nice views on surrounding hills and Julian Alps, in few minutes we return into the forest. The path continues through the forest and is mostly only gently ascending, and then it flattens even more and it brings us to a forest road which we reach near the information boards.
At the information boards to the left continues the forest road which leads towards the saddle Preški vrh, a little further and then to the right leads the path towards the nearby monument Pri orlih, and on a worse road ahead, the path continues towards the summit of Vodice and mausoleum on the top. From the information boards to the top of Vodice there are only about 2 minutes of walking.
From Vodice we continue on a marked path which starts descending towards the southeast. The path which is moderately, only occasionally steeper descending, after approximately 15 minutes of descent brings us to a worse forest road which we follow to the right, and in few steps we get to a marked crossing on the saddle Preški vrh.
On the saddle, there is a marked crossing of multiple roads, and we continue straight in the direction of Sveta Gora (left Grgar, right Zagora). Next follows for approximately 20 minutes of ascent by occasional nice views and the path brings us to a large parking lot below Sveta Gora. From the parking lot, we continue on stone stairs and there we ascend to the summit of Sveta Gora.
