Yesterday morning, as if by a miracle amid heavy rain, the sun shone for a few hours, so a quick dash to the nearby Karst, where there's no mud even after heavy rain.
The initially planned walk to the monument at Cerje, I extended to Fajti Hill, the 433 m high peak in the ridge of the Black Hills.
This time I started walking at the large parking lot before Lokvica, which I usually avoid due to crowds.
Already at the first asphalt bend I turned left and continued along the cart track and later along the gravel road to the junction at the hunting hide. There I turned right and then climbed to the monument at Cerje. From the monument I continued along the trail to Fajti Hill. Since clouds were covering the sky more and more, I returned from the summit along the gravel path below the monument and continued along the path above Srčandol, otherwise I would have extended to Borojević's Throne. I finished the path with the first raindrops along the road to the parking lot.
Nice, leisurely path with barely noticeable descents and ascents across the beautiful Karst, which despite clouds glowed with ruj, I walked with stops in three hours.
Unfortunately the path to the monument is destroyed by the firebreak road. Walking on gravel paths is sometimes strenuous due to the piled gravel rolling underfoot. A few years ago when arranging firebreak paths, the gravel roads from Lokvica to Fajti Hill and past Borojević's Throne to Kostanjevica were carelessly piled with thick river gravel, among which there was all sorts of dirt (from bits of asbestos sheets to rubber soles and glass). The dirt was somehow cleaned, but the gravel still rolls underfoot like a conveyor belt and slowly moves to the edge of the roadway. Good footwear is not superfluous.

Almost two years have passed since my post under this thread, that long I haven't been to Fajti hill. I often walk around, but Fajti hill doesn't attract me somehow. On Thursday, 8.10.2015, in the afternoon after long gray days the sun finally appeared, so I quickly drove to Kras. Since lately I've been on many hikes on southern slopes around Cerje, this time I took the northern side towards Fajti hill. I went the same path as two years ago, but this time along the gravel road all the way to the junction right below the top of Fajti hill.
The path descends for a while, so I was afraid I'd end up in the valley, but at the intersection where one track probably turns towards Vrtoče and Miren, it starts ascending again to the junction below Fajti hill. There are stakes at all junctions but no signs. They appear only where the trail branches to Cerje and then below Fajti hill. Trees mostly embrace the road, so the view of the valley and Trnovsko plateau with Čavnom is quite limited, background hills were hidden in clouds. For a better view I climbed an interesting hillock along the path (probably Volkovnjak), but from there not much more was visible than from the road itself.
But the view of the sparkling sea from Fajti hill was so much nicer. Through the pines it stretched from Slovenian coast to Venice, somewhere near Lignano the sparkling sun ball reflected in the sea.
The day was saying goodbye, so I quickly took the southern side towards Cerje and enjoyed the exceptional colors of sunset, which this time also hid in clouds.
The gravel dumped years ago has mostly rolled off the gravel road and the path to Cerje is back in normal condition. Ruj is rusting more each day.

For yesterday's hiking trip my wife and I chose Kras. We started in Miren, from where we first climbed to Cerje, where we visited the museum Memorial to the Defenders of Slovenian Land. From the viewpoint tower of the beautiful museum we enjoyed the view of the sea and the peaks of Julian Alps and Dolomites. From Cerje we continued the path over blooming, scenic slopes and through fragrant pine forest to Fajti hill. After a short break, we returned to the starting point in Miren partly along the ascent path, partly along the road. We had a nice trip through the beautiful Kras.

Sorry, I think this hill is called "Fajtji hrib". At least Klavora named it so in his book.

SuzanaM, I think, is from around there and will explain to us why it's so if in the Atlas of Slovenia it says Fajtji hrib.

Fajti hill is called so because they were fighting up there, in Slovenian slaughtering, but that's past, now it's peace,

Hey, you know exactly why the hill is named; you don't even dream. Anyway, behind the hill there's an abandoned hamlet - a couple houses named Fajti. Fajt isn't a rare surname in Renče under the hill. Anyway, there weren't many fights on this hill because the front ran further east where AO forces held Veliki vrh - that has Tito inscription and many mistakenly call it Fajtji hrib or as we call it Fajtov hrib. That's all from the aboriginals under the hill.

I haven't visited this website for a long time and thus missed the debate on the topic of the name Fajti or Fajtji Hill. I'm not from the Karst, so I don't know what the locals call the hill. According to the signs it's Fajti Hill and that's what we from the valley call it too. Dr. Vasja Klavora published the book Fajtji Hill, the Municipality of Miren-Kostanjevica invites to the presentation of the book Fajti Hill. The Renče hunting society is named Fajti Hill, on hribi.net all posts are under Fajti Hill. According to the map it's indeed Fajtji Hill. Who would know what's right. Next time I'll ask at Cerje.

It would be nice if the municipality arranged the path to the summit.

The fire up there isn't subsiding, it's spreading towards the Vipava River near Miren and along the northern slope of Karst to the east. Here it's like in Pompeii, the southwest wind carries smoke and ash.

The extent of the fire is also visible on the Črna Prst camera. Horror for people and animals.

Miran,
good luck and may the fire spare you (all). An acquaintance messaged me in the afternoon that she has to evacuate (Brestovica), for the uncle you know where he lives and it's not easy for him (them) either. Even acquaintances in Šempeter are not without worry 
Stay well, greetings to B. !

I'm also crossing fingers that the guys manage to stop this madness. My son has been in your area since Monday.
Our volunteer firefighters deserve a big salute, because they are always ready to help.
