Plave - Prižnica (by road)

Access to starting point:
A) First, we drive to Nova Gorica, then we continue driving in the direction of Bovec and Tolmin. We then drive through the Soča valley; we follow the main road to the settlement of Plave, where at the crossroads, where the road to Paljevo branches off to the right, the described path begins. Because there are no arranged parking spots at the starting point, we have to park somewhere else, preferably at some suitable place along the road before or after the settlement, or on the other side of the Soča River near the little church or somewhere on the edge of the village.
B) We drive to the settlement of Most na Soči, from there towards Nova Gorica. When we arrive at the settlement of Plave, or at the crossroads where the road towards the settlement of Paljevo branches off to the left, we are at the start of the described path. Because there are no arranged parking spots at the starting point, we have to park somewhere else, preferably at some suitable place along the road before or after the settlement, or on the other side of the Soča River near the little church or somewhere on the edge of the village.

Path description:
From the settlement Plave we continue on the asphalt road in the direction of Paljevo. The path first leads past a few houses, then quickly brings us to the left hairpin turn, where on a smaller building there is a NOB marker. We continue on the fairly panoramic road, which past the bench brings us to the right hairpin turn, where straight ahead continues the footpath to Prižnica (383 m), and we continue right, further on the road. Further on, we cross the slopes to the right for some time, then, a little after crossing the torrent stream, in the hairpin the road turns sharply left. From the road, which we continue walking on, a nice view opens towards Korada and Prižnica. When the road from the slopes almost transitions to flatter terrain, on the right side we notice a cart track and beside it unofficial signs for Kuk.
Here the first path to Kuk branches off to the right, and we continue on the road, on which we soon arrive at a few houses in the settlement Paljevo. We continue on the asphalt road, which crosses a strip of forest, then, when the forest ends, before the power line route the second path to Kuk branches off to the right (also path to Vodice and Sveta Gora).
We continue on the asphalt road, on which we quickly arrive at the next hamlet, where we notice signs for Sveta Gora pointing to the right, and we continue left on the road leading to the hunting lodge and church of St. Kvirin. At the next junction, a few minutes higher, we go slightly left (to the right hunting lodge LD Anhovo at Paljevo) on the road which loses its asphalt surface. The road continues through the forest, where the path from Deskle joins from the right, and after a minute or two of further walking we arrive at the church of St. Kvirin.
Behind the church we notice a well-trodden and nicely arranged path, which begins to descend gently through the forest. After a few minutes the descent ends, and the path begins to ascend moderately up the slope of Prižnica. Further on, the path leads past several caverns from the time of the First World War; the nicely arranged path, past a smaller junction where we continue slightly left, brings us to the summit of Prižnica in about 15 minutes of further walking.
Plave - St. Kvirin 55 minutes, St. Kvirin - Prižnica 20 minutes.
