Route description:
From the intersection on the eastern side of the church we head onto a side road, by which there are signs for Ruska jama. The path ahead leads us along a macadam road, where we first bypass a larger structure on the left, then also bypass abandoned buildings of the territorial defense in Kostanjevica na Krasu on the right side. A few minutes further at the fork in the roads we choose left (on the right we reach the ridge of Črnih hribov between Veliki vrh and Renški vrh), along it we then lightly descend further.
When after some time we begin to ascend lightly, from the triangular intersection we continue right (left Ruska jama and Cerje), then we moderately ascend to a saddle, where we reach the marked path Cerje - Trstelj.
At the saddle we leave the road and continue left (right Trstelj), after that we begin to ascend along the mountain path, which brings us to the summit of Fajti hrib in a few minutes.
Description and pictures refer to the condition in February 2020.
