Access to the starting point:
Take the expressway from Razdrteg to Nova Gorica or vice versa and take the Ajdovščina exit. Then at the crossroads (first traffic light) continue straight on in the direction of Cola and Idrija. At the second traffic light turn right, again in the direction of Colo, and follow the road for only a few dozen metres to where you cross the Hubelj River. Just after the bridge, turn left in the direction of the source of the Hubl (there are tourist signs along the road). Follow this road to the parking lot at the source of the Hubl.
Path description:
Near the parking lot, you can see the start of the path to the Otlice Window. The path climbs up the stairs and then into the wods, where it climbs moderately for some time. The path then descends gently and leads us to a viewing slope from where a beautiful view opens up towards the slopes of Čavno. The path then goes into the forest and quickly leads us to a bird house next to which we see a thermometer. Just a few metres further along the path is a pleasant bench. The path then begins to climb and leads us past the place where the story of the Otliška Window is recorded. The path then becomes steeper and steeper and soon leads to rocky slopes. The path becomes more and more scenic and rugged with each step. A little higher up, the path leads us to the foot of Otliško okno, which is already visible on the right-hand side. Just a little further on, we see the marker for the Little Otliško Window. The small window is only 10m from the path and is well worth a look. The path continues into an unmarked ravine in the middle of which, at Christmas time, we see a nativity scene. At the top of the ravine we come to a chapel with a registration box and a stamp. Here we continue to the left in the route Predmeja on a path which crosses a short lane of wods and then leads us to uncultivated slopes. Follow this path for only a few minutes to where an unmarked path branches off to the left, which, after a moderate climb along the ridge for a good five minutes, leads us to the top of Otliškega maja.
