Access to starting point:
From the Razdrto–Nova Gorica highway, we take the Vogrsko exit and continue driving towards Volčja Draga. From there we drive further towards Bilje, but only to Bukovica, where we turn left towards Renče. In Renče, after the church, we turn right, then continue straight in the direction of Temnice. When the road stops ascending higher (pass), on the left side we notice the information board of the municipality of Miren-Kostanjevica. We park in the arranged parking lot near the mentioned board.
From the Nova Gorica side, we can also reach Volčja Draga through Šempeter pri Gorici.
Route description:
From the municipal information board near which we parked, we initially continue walking on the asphalt road. After about 50 meters, the mountain markings for Trstelj direct us left, directly into the dense forest. The path immediately starts to ascend and, initially over somewhat more overgrown terrain, after the initial steeper climb brings us to the scenic peak Vrtovka (511 m).
From the peak the path starts to descend and subsequently transitions into an extremely varied landscape. The ridge path leads us alternately along pleasant forest trails, wider cart tracks and occasional gravel roads.
The picturesque and well-marked traverse mostly runs in the pleasant shade of forests, but due to its ridge nature leads us across a series of successive peaks. Thus, after shorter ascents and descents, we cross Lešenjak, Stolovec and Stol. The path offers plenty of mountaineering enjoyment, as the nature constantly changes, and from some bare parts of the ridge beautiful views open onto the Vipava Valley and the surrounding hills.
After about two hours of moderate but varied walking, the path finally brings us below the summit parts of our destination. Only a final short ascent remains and we step onto the summit of Trstelj, from which, in good weather, a wonderful and vast view opens that reaches from the Adriatic Sea across the Gulf of Trieste to the distant mountain peaks of the Julian Alps.

Discussion about the trip Črni hribi - Trstelj

It looks like an interesting path... But is there another path (perhaps circular) from a different starting point that would include the mentioned peaks?

There are paths everywhere around there, so no problem at all. The terrain is also so clear that you won't have any orientation issues, even if you go "all the way", since everything is easily passable.

Great, thanks for the explanations... Which starting point is the best for visiting Trstelj, Stola and Stolovec, Vrtovka? The described path is interesting and appealing for a winter hike, but I don't want to go up and down the same path, so I'd like to visit all the peaks and make a circular route. I'd choose a starting point somewhere between Trstelj and the starting point mentioned in the path description...

If you want a circular tour, I recommend leaving the car at the hunting lodge above Rence (Rence-Temnica road), at the bend before the lodge a marked path branches off the road. When you reach the top, do the entire traverse you mentioned. When you reach the asphalt road, go right on it, descend to the starting point. Walking on the road is about 15 min, the road is a bit busy.

Thanks for the explanations, I'll try that variant, in any case a circular path seems more interesting to me than up and down the same... Thanks.

Here grenades and all heavier calibers were exploding, where the Austrian positions were during the Soča front, now it's grass and difficult terrain through the forest

Črni hribi is a fantastic route. For younger children and older adults. Not a demanding route. You'll enjoy it. There are some views. From every hill you can see into the valley.

Great hike, after 4h of summits you reach the hut, friendly staff, great atmosphere, you can pay by card. Less than two hours of leisurely walking, we went back by road.
