Rodik - Ajdovščina

Access to the starting point:
a) From the motorway Ljubljana - Koper take the exit Divača, then from the roundabout continue to the exit in the direction of Kozina and Škocjanski jame. Continue through the underpass under the motorway and follow the main road towards Kozina to the crossroads where the road to the settlement Rodik branches off to the left. When you arrive in Rodik, at the crossroads by the house with the house number Rodik 2, turn left and then follow the narrow road which leads you between a number of houses. Through the village, follow the "feeling" to arrive above the village, where the cycle path (dirt road) leading to Artviže starts (there are signs for the said cycle path in Rodik). Park above the village in a suitable place near the pumping station Rodik 2. No further driving is allowed.
b) From the motorway Koper - Ljubljana take the exit Kozina and then continue towards Ilirska Bistrica. From the semaphored junction in Kozina, continue straight (left Trst, right Ilirska Bistrica) onto Rodiška cesta, which leads to the settlement Rodik. When you arrive in Rodik, at the crossroads by the house with the house number Rodik 2, turn left and then follow the narrow road that leads you between many houses. Through the village, follow the "feeling" to arrive above the village, where the cycle path (dirt road) leading to Artviže starts (there are signs for the said cycle path in Rodik). Park above the village in a suitable place near the pumping station Rodik 2. No further driving is allowed.

Path description:
From the pumping station Rodik 2, continue along the macadam road, closed to public traffic, leading towards Artviž. The road climbs quite steeply at first, then leads to a small crossroads where you turn sharp right (straight ahead to Artviže). The climb continues along the steep road, which climbs up the slopes of Ajdovščina Peak. Higher up, the road turns more and more to the left, changing as it goes into cart track. When you reach the indistinct Čuk ridge, pay attention, as you will soon leave the wider cart track and continue left on the narrower cart track, which climbs moderately (if you reach the nearby hunting lodge, you are already too far). A few minutes of moderate climbing follows, and then the path leads to the top of Ajdovščina, where a metal container stands.
Description and pictures refer to the situation in 2015 (September).
