Access to starting point:
A) We leave the highway through the Vipava Valley at the exit for Šempeter and Nova Gorica, then from the nearby intersection we continue straight towards the industrial zone and Italy. A little further, we turn left towards Vrtojba and Miren, and then we follow the signs for Miren, Komen and Opatje Selo. When the settlement of Miren ends, we ascend to the Karst plateau in a few hairpin turns, and we follow the road to the settlement Kostanjevica na Krasu, where we turn left towards Temnica and Lipa, and still in Kostanjevica we park at an appropriate place near the church.
B) We drive to Nova Gorica, then continue driving towards Šempeter pri Gorici and further to Vrtojba and Miren, and then we follow the signs for Miren, Komen and Opatje Selo. When the settlement of Miren ends, we ascend to the Karst plateau in a few hairpin turns, and we follow the road to the settlement Kostanjevica na Krasu, where we turn left towards Temnica and Lipa, and still in Kostanjevica we park at an appropriate place near the church.
Path description:
From the intersection on the eastern side of the church we head onto a side road, along which there are signs for Ruska jama. The path ahead leads us along a macadam road, where we first bypass a larger structure on the left, then also bypass abandoned territorial defense facilities on the right side in Kostanjevica na Krasu. A few minutes further, at the road junction we choose left (on the right we reach the ridge of the Črni hribi between Veliki vrh and Renški vrh), along which we then descend lightly.
When after some time we begin to ascend lightly, from the triangular intersection we continue right (left: Ruska jama and Cerje), then we ascend moderately to a saddle, where we reach the marked path Cerje - Trstelj.
On the saddle we leave the road and continue right towards Trstelj (left: Fajti hrib and Cerje) and begin ascending towards the 463-meters-high Veliki vrh, which we reach after approximately a 20-minute ascent through the forest and bushes.
