Solarji - Ježa

Access to starting point:
A) From Nova Gorica or from Tolmin we drive towards Bovec. Just a little after the roundabout where the roads from Nova Gorica and Tolmin join, we arrive at a crossroads where the road towards the mountain pass Solarji and Kolovrat branches off to the left. The road then brings us to the edge of Volče, where a signpost for the saddle Solarji directs us to the right onto the road, which after the last houses starts to ascend more steeply. We continue driving on the asphalt road, which after a few kilometres of ascent brings us to the saddle, where there is also a crossroads. Here we continue on the left lower road, alongside which after just a few metres we park in a large parking area (park so as not to obstruct any possible forestry work).
B) From Bovec we drive towards Tolmin, but we follow the road to the point where the road towards Kolovrat branches off to the right (the turn-off is marked and is located just a little before the roundabout where the road splits towards Nova Gorica and Tolmin). The road then brings us to the edge of Volče, where a signpost for the saddle Solarji directs us to the right onto the road, which after the last houses starts to ascend more steeply. We continue driving on the asphalt road, which after a few kilometres of ascent brings us to the saddle, where there is also a crossroads. Here we continue on the left lower road, alongside which after just a few metres we park in a large parking area (park so as not to obstruct any possible forestry work).

Route description:
On the opposite side of the "parking lot" we notice a mountain direction sign with the inscription Ježa and Planinski dom pod Ježo mountain hut, which directs us onto a gently undulating and relatively overgrown cart track. The cart track soon turns into a footpath, which first descends gently and then ever more steeply. The path continues past an old military cavern and behind it brings us to a short section secured with a steel cable (undemanding). A short descent follows, and the path brings us to a macadam road, which we reach right at a smaller crossroads. Here we continue along the left road, from which we soon turn right onto an ascending and initially wide cart track. We follow the cart track for a short time, then the signs for Ježa direct us right onto a footpath that begins to ascend more steeply through the forest. The less trodden and in places more overgrown path levels out higher up and brings us out of the forest onto the partly panoramic summit ridge of Ježa, along which we walk a few dozen steps to the logbook box.
