Access to starting point:
A) We drive to Nova Gorica, and then we continue driving towards Tolmin and Kobarid. Main road towards Tolmin we follow only to Solkan, where at the traffic light crossroad we continue right in the direction of Sveta Gora and Grgar. An ascending road further leads past the quarry Solkan, after that a little higher turns sharply to the right and it brings us to the inn Gostilna Skalnica, behind which we first get to a crossroad, where a steep road towards Sveta Gora branches off to the left, and only a little further also to a crossroad, where slightly to the left, the road continues towards Grgar, Čepovan and Banjšice (slightly right Trnovo and Lokve). After a short descent, we get to Grgar, where at the crossroad by NOB monument we continue straight to the nearby sports field by the primary school, by which we park on a large parking lot.
B) From Tolmin or Most na Soči we drive on the main road towards Nova Gorica, after that only a little before Nova Gorica, more precisely at the traffic light crossroad in Solkan we turn left in the direction of Sveta Gora and Grgar. An ascending road further leads past the quarry Solkan, after that a little higher turns sharply to the right and it brings us to the inn Gostilna Skalnica, behind which we first get to a crossroad, where a steep road towards Sveta Gora branches off to the left, and only a little further also to a crossroad, where slightly to the left, the road continues towards Grgar, Čepovan and Banjšice (slightly right Trnovo and Lokve). After a short descent, we get to Grgar, where at the crossroad by NOB monument we continue straight to the nearby sports field by the primary school, by which we park on a large parking lot.
C) From Goriška Brda we drive to Solkan, where at the first crossroad after new Solkan bridge we continue straight in the direction of Sveta Gora. An ascending road further leads past the quarry Solkan, after that a little higher turns sharply to the right and it brings us to the inn Gostilna Skalnica, behind which we first get to a crossroad, where a steep road towards Sveta Gora branches off to the left, and only a little further also to a crossroad, where slightly to the left, the road continues towards Grgar, Čepovan and Banjšice (slightly right Trnovo and Lokve). After a short descent, we get to Grgar, where at the crossroad by NOB monument we continue straight to the nearby sports field by the primary school, by which we park on a large parking lot.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we return to NOB monument, and from there we continue on the left road (looking from the direction of access to the starting point, if we came from the direction Nova Gorica), which from the right soon joins "shortcut" (from the parking lot we don't have to go to monument, because to here leads shorter road which starts a little before the parking lot and continues towards the west). A short time we walk on a sidewalk, and then at the spot, where the main road turns right we continue straight on a narrower asphalt road. Good 50 meters we walk on the mentioned road, and then we notice signs for Sveta Gora, which point us to the left road, and we continue straight, on the road which continues through the settlement. Meanwhile, when we walk through the settlement, we quickly get to the birth house of Uršula Ferligoj (in the year 1539 the Queen of Heaven appeared to her). A little further, the houses in Grgar end, and at the smaller crossroad, we continue on the left road in the direction of Slatna and Sveta Gora. At the next crossroad, by the water catchment we again continue left in the direction of Sveta Gora (right Slatna), and we still continue on the macadam road which a little further for some time slightly descends, and then it crosses the stream Slatna. On the other side of the stream, the road starts ascending steeper, and there after the left turn we get to a crossroad on the saddle Preški vrh.
On the saddle is a crossing of multiple paths, and we continue on the left road in the direction of Sveta Gora. Next follows for approximately 20 minutes of ascent by occasional nice views and the path brings us to a large parking lot below Sveta Gora. From the parking lot, we continue on stone stairs and there we ascend to the summit of Sveta Gora.
On the way: Preški vrh (540m)
Trip can be extended to: Vodice
