Vitovlje - Vitovlje Lake

Access to starting point:
A) From the highway Vipava - Nova Gorica, we take the exit Selo, and then continue driving on the regional road towards Nova Gorica and Šempas. After a few kilometers of driving, we arrive at the village Vitovlje, where we turn right in the direction of the farm Maloščevo. A little further ahead, the road splits into two parts (Vitovska circular path), and we continue right, and in the next crossroads, we stick to the left directions. The relatively steep road leads us higher through the hamlet Vožice, where it turns even a little more to the left. From the hamlet, we drive a short time longer, and then we arrive at the large event venue and sports field in Vitovlje, where we park.
B) From Nova Gorica, we drive to Šempas, and from there we continue driving on the old road towards Ajdovščina. When we arrive at the village Vitovlje, we turn left in the direction of the farm Maloščevo. A little further ahead, the road splits into two parts (Vitovska circular path), and we continue right, and in the next crossroads, we stick to the left directions. The relatively steep road leads us higher through the hamlet Vožice, where it turns even a little more to the left. From the hamlet, we drive a short time longer, and then we arrive at the large event venue and sports field in Vitovlje, where we park.

Route description:
From the parking lot, we first walk to the asphalt road and continue left along it. After a minute or two, we arrive at a marked junction, where we continue right in the direction of the Vitovska church and Vitovsko Lake.
From the junction, we continue on a poorer macadam road, which quickly enters the forest, through which it ascends gently to moderately. It does not take long and we already arrive at the next well-marked junction, where we continue straight in the direction of Vitovsko Lake (left: western path to Vitovski hrib (on signs: markings for Vitovska church)). Further on, the road gradually turns into a cart track, which first leads us across a panoramic hayfield. A little further, the cart track turns left, from it two paths branch off to the right to the nearby Vitovsko Lake. It does not matter whether we go in the direction of Vitovsko Lake at the first or second branch-off; in both cases, after approximately 2 minutes we arrive at a smaller lake.

The trip can be extended to the following destinations: Vitovski hrib ( 20 min), Sekulak (1 h 20 min), Čaven (2 h 20 min), Veliki Rob (2 h 50 min)
