Temnica - Sveti Ambrož (Tabor) (western path)

Access to the starting point:
a) Drive to Dornberk (to get here from the Vipava expressway, take exit Selo, or from Šempeter pri Gorici), and then continue driving to Branik. At Dornberk, leave the road towards Branik and turn right towards Potok and Trstelja. After Železna vrata, the road levels off and we follow the signs for Lipa and then Kostanjevica na Krasu. Shortly after Lipa ends, go left into the village of Temnica, where you drive to the church and cemetery, where you park.
b) Drive to Sežana, then continue driving towards Komno and then Kostanjevica na Krasu. Shortly after Vojščica, turn right towards Temnica, and when you reach the village, park in the cemetery parking lot.

Path description:
From the cemetery parking lot, take the road leading north-east and follow it quickly to the NOB memorial. From the crossroads by the memorial, go left and then slowly start descending and soon leave the village of Temnica. Cross the main road below and continue on a side road towards Trstelj. After a few minutes of easy walking, you will pass another NOB memorial, and gradually start to climb behind the memorial.
From the next crossroads, where there is a memorial commemorating the 1991 War of Independence, continue right and then climb cross-country. A little after crossing the route of a high-voltage power line, the cart track branches off to the right, leading to the summit of St Ambrose or Mount Tabor. The cart track soon turns into a wider path, which leads first to the remains of the church of St Ambrose and a little further on to the summit.
Important note (February 2020). There have already been reports to the Police.
The path to the top from the other side is also more difficult to access and is fenced off with branches and a "no way" sign.
