Access to starting point:
A) From the expressway Razdrto - Nova Gorica we take the exit Ajdovščina, then we continue driving in the direction of Col and Idrija. When we arrive at Col we turn left towards Predmeja and then after a few meters right onto the parking lot opposite the parish church in Col. We can also park on the parking lot by the nearby sports field.
B) We drive to Logatec, from there we continue driving towards Idrija. At the end of the settlement Kalce we turn left in the direction of Podkraj and Col, then on a somewhat more winding road we first arrive at Podkraj, then on a somewhat flatter road to Col. In Col, where we join the road from Ajdovščina we continue right, then after some 10 meters left in the direction of Predmeja. Towards Predmeja we drive only a few meters, since immediately after the intersection we turn right onto the parking lot opposite the church of St. Lenart.

When we arrive at Godovič we leave the main road towards Logatec and continue driving right in the direction of Črni Vrh, Col and Ajdovščina. When we arrive at Col we turn right towards Otlica and Predmeja and then once again right onto the nearby parking lot opposite the church.
Path description:
From the parking lot opposite the church in Col we continue on the main asphalt road towards Predmeja. After approximately 5 minutes of walking on the asphalt road we will get to the spot where signs for the path Pot po Robu point us left onto a poorer forest road. A fairly gentle road soon changes into a cart track, which continues through a pleasant pine forest. Well-marked mountain path, on a smaller clearing leaves the cart track and continues on a wider path, which for some time runs through dense forest. A little higher we arrive out of the forest onto grassy slopes, which we only cross, then the blazes lead us left onto a somewhat steeper path, on which in a few minutes we ascend to the panoramic peak Kovk.
From the top we descend towards the southwest and continue the path on a somewhat less visible footpath, which runs along the edge of the plateau above steep panoramic slopes. The path soon flattens, then brings us across grassy terrain to a junction, where a marked path from the hunting cottage Budanje joins us from the left (near the junction there is the stamping box "Sončnica").
We continue straight and the path continues along the edge of the plateau on panoramic terrain, after which in a minute or two of further walking we arrive at the take-off site Sončnica.
From the take-off site we continue on the marked path, which continues towards the west and leads us along the edge of the plateau. After a few shorter ascents and descents we quickly reach the summit of Kraguljc, which we recognize by the small concrete stone (trigonometric point) on the top of the mountain.
From the top follows an easy descent along the ridge of Kraguljc, from where we occasionally get nice views of the Vipava valley, then we arrive at a marked junction, where the marked path from Ajdovščina joins us from the left.
Here in front of us is the ridge of Podrta gora, we continue left downwards in the direction of Ajdovščina, where after a few steps we arrive at the chapel, by which there is the stamp of Podrta gora.
Col - Kovk 1:00, Kovk - Sončnica 20 minutes, Sončnica - Kraguljc 15 minutes, Kraguljc - Podrta gora 10 minutes.
