Branik - Sveti Duh (Pedrovo) (on forest path)

Access to starting point:
A) From the highway Ljubljana - Koper, we take the exit Senožeče, then continue driving in the direction of the village Štorje. In Štorje, we continue right in the direction of Branik (straight Sežana and Trst) and further drive through the villages Kazlje, Dobravlje and Ponikve. At the crossroads a few kilometers after Ponikve, we continue right towards the village Kobdilj (left Kopriva and Dutovlje), from there we follow the signs for Štanjel and Branik. After a few kilometers of descent, we arrive in Branik, where the road from Komen joins from the left. A little further from the mentioned crossroads, on the right we will notice a larger parking lot, where we park (the parking lot is located near the post office and Mercator store).
B) First, we drive to Ajdovščina, then continue driving on the old road towards Nova Gorica. When we arrive at the settlement Potoče, we leave the main road and continue left in the direction of the place Branik. The road quickly brings us to the bridge over the river Vipava, after which it gradually becomes more winding. After a short ascent, a shorter descent follows and we arrive in Branik. When we reach the main road, we continue left and then after some 10 meters of further driving turn left onto a larger parking lot (the parking lot is located near the post office and Mercator store).
C) From Nova Gorica or its surroundings, we drive to Dornberk, from there continue driving in the direction of Branik. We park in the center of Branik on a larger organized parking lot (the parking lot is located near the post office and Mercator store).

Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue along the main road towards Dornberk, then continue left in the direction of the settlement Cvetrož. Soon after leaving the main road, we will notice signs for Pedrovo at the transformer station. A little further, the road leads us over the bridge across the river Branica, and right behind the bridge we continue left in the direction of the hamlet Lojevi (right Cvetrož). Only a few steps further, the road splits again, and this time we continue right (straight farm Furlan and farm tourism Pri mlinu). On the asphalt road, we walk only some 10 meters more, then at the nearby residential house continue straight towards the railway bridge. When we reach the foot of the railway bridge, we continue on the marked path, which continues under the stone arch. For a short time, we ascend along the bottom of a small valley, then cross the torrent and on the other side start to ascend more steeply. Higher, we reach a forested ridge, and the path immediately switches to its right side (viewed in the direction of ascent). A few minutes of traverse ascent follow, then we step onto the forested ridge again.
When we step onto the ridge, we join the cart track (path from Branik past the railway station Branik), which we follow to the right, walking along it to the first junction.
We continue on the left marked cart track (the right one immediately splits again into two parts), which then starts to descend gently. After a short descent, we reach the bed of the torrent stream Petnik and arrive at the metal hunting observatory. Right at the observatory, we go slightly left and cross the bed of the mentioned intermittent stream. On the other side of the stream, we start to ascend steeply on the steeper slope, and the path higher brings us below the village Pedrovo. A short ascent follows and among the houses we reach the road that leads through the village.
When we step onto the road, we continue left (right Trstelj), where after some 10 steps of further walking we arrive at the end or beginning of the village, where on the right side we notice a smaller church.
