Route description:
From the parking lot opposite the church in Col we continue on the main asphalt road towards Predmeja. After approximately 5 minutes of walking on the asphalt road we will get to the spot where signs for the path Pot po Robu point us left onto a poorer forest road. A quite gentle road soon changes into a cart track, which continues through a pleasant pine forest. Well-marked mountain path on a smaller clearing leaves the cart track and continues on a wider path, which for some time runs through dense forest. A little higher we get out of the forest onto grassy slopes, which we only cross, then blazes lead us left onto a somewhat steeper path, on which in a few minutes we ascend to the panoramic peak Kovk.
From the top we descend towards the southwest and continue on a somewhat poorly visible footpath which runs along the edge of the plateau above steep panoramic slopes. The path soon flattens, then brings us across grassy terrain to a junction, where a marked path from the hunting cottage Budanje joins from the left (near the junction there is a stamping box "Sončnica").
We go straight and continue along the edge of the plateau on panoramic terrain, on which in one or two minutes of further walking we arrive at the Sončnica takeoff site.
