Predmeja - Dolski maj (Pot po Robu)

Access to starting point:
A) From central Slovenia we first drive to Logatec, then continue driving in the direction of Idrija. At Kalcah near Logatec we turn left in the direction of Col, then continue driving on a winding road towards Col. At Col we turn right and then after 100 m left in the direction of Predmeja. Further, we drive on an occasionally somewhat narrower and also partly still winding road to Predmeja. At Predmeja we will notice signs for Pot po Robu and by them the monument "Materi Gori" and a large macadam parking lot.
B) From the expressway Razdrto - Nova Gorica we head to the exit Ajdovščina and follow the road ahead towards the village Lokavec (to Lokavec we come from the center of Ajdovščina, or from the old road Ajdovščina - Nova Gorica, where at the settlement Cesta we turn right). From Lokavec we continue driving on an ascending winding road in the direction of Predmeja. When the road flattens somewhat, we come to an intersection, where we continue right towards Predmeja and Col. On the road towards Col we drive only 100 m, then on the right side we notice a larger parking lot and mountaineering signs for Pot po Robu.

Route description:
From the starting point we first walk to the vantage point, then continue left in the direction of "Pot po Robu". The initially poorly visible path first descends slightly, then passes into the forest, through which it gradually begins to ascend moderately. We quickly ascend almost to the top of the 889 m high peak (on maps without a name), then begin to descend. Pot po Robu continues across grassy hayfields, in the middle of which individual bushes grow. A little further ahead the path turns slightly to the right and brings us to the edge of steep and partly precipitous slopes. The path and the slope then level out, we continue on a trail that crosses numerous meadows (in spring and summer the meadows are full of flowers). Occasionally poorly traceable path, which for some time runs on slopes dangerous for slipping, brings us higher to a rocky spur that descends precipitously towards the Vipava Valley. The path ahead temporarily returns to plateau-like terrain, then begins to ascend steeply along the edge of cliffs (especially when wet there is also a risk of slipping). The path then brings us from the thicket onto a panoramic grassy slope, across which we ascend to the summit of Dolski maj in a few minutes.

The trip can be extended to the following destinations: Otliško okno (1 h), Otliški maj ( 45 min), Navrše (1 h 15 min), Sinji vrh (1 h 55 min)

We recommend: trips from the same starting point, similar trips, panorama, summit register
