Access to starting point:
From the Razdrto–Nova Gorica motorway, we take the Selo exit and continue towards the village of Dornberk. In the village of Dornberk, we turn left towards Koper and then, after 100 metres, right towards Trstelj (the turn-off for Trstelj is marked). We follow the ascending road to the parking lot on the left side of the road (we recognise the parking lot by a smaller chapel situated in the middle of a rock, and on top of the mentioned rock we notice a small Aljaž Tower).
From the Nova Gorica side, we can also reach the village of Dornberk past Šempeter and Volčje Drage.
Route description:
From the parking lot, we continue on the road, which in a few minutes brings us to the hamlet Gora. Behind the last house in the village, the marked path turns right and after a short ascent returns to the road. We follow the road ahead for a few minutes to Železnih vrat, where we notice the mountaineering signs. We continue the ascent on a wide gentle cart track, which quickly brings us below the wires of the power line. Here we leave the cart track and continue left on a footpath, which goes into the forest and starts to ascend moderately. The steepness then eases and the path brings us to the unvegetated slopes, from which a view opens towards the transmitters on the top of Trstelj. The path then goes back into the forest, where the path from Renče joins from the right. We continue left and after a few more steps we step onto a worse road, which we follow to the right towards the hut, which we already see in front of us.
From the hut, we continue towards the summit on the path that gently ascends through a sparse forest. After a few dozen steps, the path brings us onto a worse road, which we follow to the top amid ever more beautiful views.

Discussion about the trip Gora - Trstelj

In the wet it's not pleasant, as it quite properly slips on the rocks on the steep part.
As a curiosity: From Trstelj the Slovenian coast between Trst and Gradež appears. ???. Check the maps or ask the caretaker - thanks!

Today on Trstelj by bike. Nice tour to open the cycling season... I've already ended it here with ski touring  An island of clear sky was right above the summit, everything around was foggy, so no views. Otherwise, from this 643 m high hill, you can nicely see from the Alps to the sea.

I was looking for the path through the stream, and when I returned I realized that this Potok is a settlement.

I don't know how old the path description to Trstelj from Železna vrata or from Gora is, but the trail from the forest road crossed by the power line is mostly quite steep with stones rolling underfoot, and we reach the partially overgrown slopes only shortly before the junction with the trail from Renče.

Nice trail. The trail between pictures 5 and 7 is quite long and steep, but shown only with picture 6. In reality, we spend more time in the forest than depicted in the pictures.

The trail is well marked, but a bit more strenuous than I expected for an almost coastal hill. 
In case the mentioned parking lot is occupied, there's another parking lot a bit further at the hunting lodge. The parking lot at the iron gates offers quite a bit of shade (now that the days are finally getting a bit warmer).

Very nice peak, it impressed me, the path is really very slippery when wet, when you're already there, it's worth visiting Štanjel castle, Lipica,...
