Access to starting point:
A) First, we drive to Nova Gorica, and then we continue driving towards Bovec. Only a little after the village Čiginj we turn right towards the nearby factory, and at the first crossroad we turn left on a side road which ends at the nearby NOB monument. We park by the mentioned road (on the nearby settled parking lot the parking is allowed only to employees).
B) From central Slovenia we drive to Tolmin, and then we continue driving towards Bovec. When we get to a roundabout, we leave the road which leads towards Bovec and we continue driving in the direction of Nova Gorica (to the mentioned roundabout we can come also from the direction Bovec). Above the village Volče, more precisely only few 10 meters after the NOB monument, we leave the main road and we continue left towards the nearby factory. At the smaller crossroad in front of the factory we turn left on a dead-end street, which ends by the earlier mentioned monument.
Path description:
Near the NOB monument, we will notice signs for Mengore, which point us on a footpath which quickly passes into the forest. By the path which at first ascends through a lane of bushes, we will soon notice the first of fourteen chapels (Way of the cross on Mengore).
At the second chapel we get to a smaller crossing, where the path branches off to the left on Brce, and we continue straight on the bottom path, by which Stations of the Cross continues. Higher, the path starts ascending steeper and leads us past old military cavern, and then it brings us to a wider cart track which we follow to the right. When we step on the cart track, we at first descend a little and then the path past an abyss and a smaller cavern brings us to outdoor museum, where there is also an inscription box.
From the information boards and memorial plaques we continue on a wider cart track which a little higher cuts unmarked path from the saddle Poljance. We continue straight and past two more Stations of the Cross we quickly get to Mengore.
