Access to starting point:
First, we drive to Nova Gorica and then we continue driving towards Tolmin. At the end of the village Solkan, we turn left on a large parking lot, which is located before Solkan bridge.
From Tolmin we drive towards Nova Gorica, but only to the village Solkan. At the beginning of the village, we turn right and we park on a large parking lot, which is located after Solkan bridge.
The starting point is on the parking lot at the end of the Solkan, to where we can drive with city bus from Nova Gorica or Šempeter.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we cross Solkan bridge and then on its other side we notice signposts for Sabotin (south and north path). To ascent on Sabotin on "south" path we continue by the asphalt road which after few minutes of ascent brings us to the sharp right turn.
In the middle of the turn, we will notice a signpost for Sabotin, which points us on a steep footpath which ascends through a lane of bushes. A little higher, the marked path crosses the road and then on the other side it ascends on steep stairs. Ahead steepness slightly decreases and the path after few additional minutes of walking, it brings us on an old military mule track which we follow only a short time. During short walk on a mule track path brings us to a pleasant "resting place" and viewpoint after which the path again starts ascending steeply. Ahead we are ascending on partly rocky path, which occasionally offers nice views on Goriška.
After approximately 1 hour of walking, the path brings us on the main ridge of Sabotin, where we notice ruins of the church of St. Valentin.
Further, the path slightly descends and through a thin lane of bushes brings us on the next secondary peak of Sabotin. We continue the ascent on a very panoramic ridge from which beautiful views are opening up on river Soča and Sveta gora. The path by which we notice numerous remains from the first world war after hour and a half brings us to the summit of panoramic Sabotin.
From the top, we continue on the ridge ahead on the path which already after few minutes brings us to a crossing. We continue straight in the direction of the mountain hut Dom na Sabotinu on the path which is still slightly descending and after additional 10 minutes brings us to the mountain hut.
We can descend on "northern" path, which through numerous caverns brings us to the starting point (for a descent on this path it is recommended to use a lamp and a helmet).
