Predmeja - Otliško okno (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. In Predmeja, we will notice signs for the path 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 place Cesta we turn right). From Lokavec, we continue driving on an ascending winding road in the direction of Predmeja. When the road flattens a little, we come to a crossroads, 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 signposts for the path Pot po Robu.

Path description:
From the starting point, we first walk to the vantage point, then continue left in the direction of "Pot po Robu". Initially poorly visible path first slightly descends, 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 we start descending. The path 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 also precipitous slopes. The path and the slope then flatten, and we continue on the trail that crosses numerous meadows (in spring and summer the meadows are full of flowers). Occasionally poorly traceable path, which for some time runs along slopes dangerous for slipping, then brings us higher to a rocky promontory that drops precipitously towards the Vipava Valley. The path ahead temporarily returns to plateau 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 bushes onto a panoramic grassy slope, across which we ascend to the summit of Dolski maj in a few minutes.
From Dolski maj, we continue on the marked and occasionally somewhat more overgrown path towards the southeast. The path quickly descends into the forest, through which we continue for some time. After a while, the path levels out and brings us out of the forest onto again more panoramic slopes. We continue along the edge of the plateau on the again more panoramic path, which continues without major changes in elevation. A little further, we cross a strip of forest, and the path then brings us to a wooden post with directional and information boards. Here we continue somewhat to the right towards the viewpoint Otliški maj (the path straight bypasses the peak Otliški maj). The path ahead ascends more steeply and brings us to the panoramic summit in 5 minutes of further walking.
From Otliški maj, we descend along the panoramic grassy slope and quickly join the path that bypassed the mentioned peak on the left side. We continue in the same direction and shortly afterwards arrive at a marked junction, where the path from the spring of Hublja joins us from the right.
We continue in the direction of Sinji vrh and Otliško okno, and the path brings us to the place where a path branches off to the left to the stone snail, which is only a minute's walk away. We continue straight and in a few dozen steps of further walking arrive at the information boards by Otliško okno. From the boards, we can descend to the window through which a nice view of the Vipava Valley opens up.
