Preval Poljance - Mengore (steep path)

Access to starting point:
A) From Podbrdo or Idrija we drive to Most na Soči, and then we continue driving towards Nova Gorica. The road quickly ascends above the village of Modrejce and brings us to the Poljance saddle, where we turn right and then after a few 10 meters we park on a larger macadam parking lot.
B) First, we drive to Nova Gorica, and then we continue driving towards Bovec. A little before the village of Čiginj, we will get to a crossroad, where we leave the main road and continue driving right towards the settlements of Kozaršče, Modrejce and Most na Soči. The road quickly brings us to Kozaršče, and we follow it in a few hairpin turns to the Poljance saddle, where we turn left and then after a few 10 meters we park on a larger macadam parking lot.
C) From Bovec or Kobarid we drive towards Nova Gorica and at the smaller crossroad above the village of Volče we turn left onto a local road which past the local factory and meadows quickly brings us to the village of Kozaršče, where we join a wider road. Here we continue left and on the asphalt road we drive to the nearby Poljance saddle, where we turn left and then after a few 10 meters we park on a larger macadam parking lot.

Path description:
A few meters away from the parking lot we notice an information board and next to it the beginning of the "shorter" path to Mengore. From the information board we go into the forest and start ascending along an old military mule track. Higher up, we leave the mule track, as rare signs on the path direct us left onto a steeper footpath, which quickly ascends to numerous caverns. The path that leads to Mengore turns right just before the caverns and ascends past them to a nearby, quite overgrown meadow. On the partly overgrown path we ascend to the nearby ruins, and we cross a wide cart track only a little above the ruins. From crossing the cart track only a short steep ascent follows and the path brings us to the summit, in the middle of which stands the church of St. Mary.
