Skalnica - Sveta Gora (footpath)

Access to starting point:
A) We drive to Nova Gorica, then continue driving towards Tolmin and Kobarid. We follow the main road towards Tolmin only to Solkan, where at the traffic-light intersection we continue right in the direction of Sveta Gora and Grgar. The ascending road further leads past the Solkan quarry, then a little higher it turns sharply to the right and brings us to the Skalnica inn, behind which we continue slightly left in the direction of Sveta Gora. Further on, we drive on a narrower asphalt road, along which we park at a suitable spot beside the road (best before the first cross, which we will notice on the left side of the road).
B) From Tolmin or Most na Soči we drive on the main road towards Nova Gorica, then just a little before Nova Gorica, precisely at the traffic-light intersection in Solkan, we turn left in the direction of Sveta Gora and Grgar. The ascending road further leads past the Solkan quarry, then a little higher it turns sharply to the right and brings us to the Skalnica inn, behind which we continue slightly left in the direction of Sveta Gora. Further on, we drive on a narrower asphalt road, along which we park at a suitable spot beside the road (best before the first cross, which we will notice on the left side of the road).
C) From Goriška Brda we drive to Solkan, where at the first intersection after the new Solkan bridge we continue straight in the direction of Sveta Gora. The ascending road further leads past the Solkan quarry, then a little higher it turns sharply to the right and brings us to the Skalnica inn, behind which we continue slightly left in the direction of Sveta Gora. Further on, we drive on a narrower asphalt road, along which we park at a suitable spot beside the road (best before the first cross, which we will notice on the left side of the road).

Route description:
From the parking lot we continue on the road, but only a few tens of meters, then the blazes direct us left onto the footpath. The path, which initially ascends gently, eventually brings us to a smaller junction, where we continue right upwards. The path ahead ascends steeply and after a good 20 minutes of further walking brings us to the road. Further on we can continue on the road or on the footpath that ascends beside it. In both cases we reach the summit in five minutes.

The trip can be extended to the following destinations: Vodice ( 50 min)

We recommend: trips from the same starting point, similar trips, panorama, summit register
