Grgar - Sveta Gora (via Po sredi)

Access to starting point:
A) We drive to Nova Gorica, then continue driving towards Tolmin and Kobarid. We follow the main road towards Tolmin only to Solkan, where at the traffic-light intersection we continue right in the direction of Sveta Gora and Grgar. The ascending road further leads past the Solkan quarry, then a little higher it turns sharply to the right and brings us to the inn Skalnica, behind which we first reach a crossroad where a steep road towards Sveta Gora branches off to the left, only a little further to another crossroad where the road towards Grgar, Čepovan and Banjšice branches off to the left (straight Trnovo and Lokve). After a short descent we arrive in Grgar, where at the crossroad by the NOB monument we continue straight to the nearby sports field by the primary school, next to which we park on a large parking lot.
B) From Tolmin or Most na Soči we drive along the main road towards Nova Gorica, then only a little before Nova Gorica, more precisely at the traffic-light intersection in Solkan, we turn left in the direction of Sveta Gora and Grgar. The ascending road further leads past the Solkan quarry, then a little higher it turns sharply to the right and brings us to the inn Skalnica, behind which we first reach a crossroad where a steep road towards Sveta Gora branches off to the left, only a little further to another crossroad where the road towards Grgar, Čepovan and Banjšice branches off to the left (straight Trnovo and Lokve). After a short descent we arrive in Grgar, where at the crossroad by the NOB monument we continue straight to the nearby sports field by the primary school, next to which we park on a large parking lot.
C) From Goriška Brda we drive to Solkan, where at the first crossroad after the new Solkan bridge we continue straight in the direction of Sveta Gora. The ascending road further leads past the Solkan quarry, then a little higher it turns sharply to the right and brings us to the inn Skalnica, behind which we first reach a crossroad where a steep road towards Sveta Gora branches off to the left, only a little further to another crossroad where the road towards Grgar, Čepovan and Banjšice branches off to the left (straight Trnovo and Lokve). After a short descent we arrive in Grgar, where at the crossroad by the NOB monument we continue straight to the nearby sports field by the primary school, next to which we park on a large parking lot.

Path description:
From the parking lot we return to the NOB monument, from there we continue on the left road (viewed from the direction of access to the starting point, if we came from the direction of Nova Gorica), to which a "shortcut" soon joins from the right (from the parking lot we do not need to go to the monument, as a shorter road leads here that starts a little before the parking lot and continues towards the west). We walk on the sidewalk for a short time, then at the place where the main road turns right we continue straight onto the narrower asphalt road. We walk about 50 meters along the mentioned road, then the signs for Sveta Gora direct us left onto another road, where we first go around the "last" house, then the road continues across the meadow. We walk along the asphalt to the marker for gas pipeline no. 443, from where we continue on the left road in the direction of Sveta Gora. Just a few steps further, a marked path to Sveta Gora via Križce branches off to the left from the macadam road, while we continue straight in the direction of Sveta Gora "po sredi" (the road we leave continues to the nearby house - it is also possible to continue along the road to the isolated house).
The path ahead leads us across a small meadow, then brings us to a wooden footbridge over the Slatnik stream, where it splits again.
We continue over the footbridge (if the passage over the footbridge seems too dangerous, we can continue along the stream and cross it a little further on the rocks) on the path which on the other side enters the forest and turns slightly to the right. After a few dozen steps, a bypass path also joins from the right, while we continue on the gradually steeper path, which higher up ascends in numerous zigzags. We ascend moderately to steeply for some time, then we arrive at a marked junction, where we continue right (left Frančiškov hrib 15 minutes). A short ascent follows and the path brings us to the ridge west of Sveta Gora, where we continue right and in a few dozen steps arrive at the church on Sveta Gora, from which a beautiful view opens up.
