Solarji - Trinški vrh

Access to starting point:
A) From Nova Gorica or from Tolmin we drive towards Bovec. Only a little after the roundabout, where the roads from Nova Gorica and Tolmin join, we arrive at a crossroad, where the road towards the Solarji pass and Kolovrat branches off to the left. The road then brings us by the edge of Volče, where a signpost for Solarji saddle points us right on the road which after the last houses starts ascending steeper. Further, we drive on an asphalt road which after a few kilometers of ascent brings us to a saddle, where there is also a crossroad of roads. Here we continue on the left lower road, by which we already after a few meters park on a large parking lot (we park in a way that we don't hinder possible forestry work).
B) From Bovec, we drive towards Tolmin, and we follow the road to the spot, where a road towards Kolovrat branches off to the right (turn-off is marked and is located only a little before the roundabout, where the road splits towards Nova Gorica and Tolmin). The road then brings us by the edge of Volče, where a signpost for Solarji saddle points us right on the road which after the last houses starts ascending steeper. Further, we drive on an asphalt road which after a few kilometers of ascent brings us to a saddle, where there is also a crossroad of roads. Here we continue on the left lower road, by which we already after a few meters park on a large parking lot (we park in a way that we don't hinder possible forestry work).

Route description:
From the parking lot, we return to the crossroad, and there at the stop sign, we notice the beginning of the path which leads towards the summit Na gradu. The path immediately starts ascending, and at first it leads us through bushes (in the autumn we will here notice ripe fruits of hazel). Further, we quickly ascend to the indistinct summit Platene, from which we descend to the nearby asphalt road. Next follows a short part of the path on the road, and signs for the summit Na gradu quickly point us to the left on the path which ascends through a belt of low forest. The path ahead brings us to an old military path, on which beside the defensive embankment we ascend to the grassy slopes of the summit Na gradu. At the edge of the meadow, we ascend to a smaller saddle, and from there we continue left and after 2 minutes of additional walking we step onto the panoramic summit.
From the summit Na gradu we return on the ascent path to the nearby saddle, and then we continue on a well-trodden path which leads us past an outdoor museum. Here beside caverns and renovated trenches we descend to a larger meadow, and then on the other side we start ascending steeper. After a few minutes the steepness eases and the path brings us to a wide and gently sloping ridge of Kolovrat, along which with fine views we continue. Next follows a few shorter ascents and descents and the path brings us to Trinški vrh, which we recognize by the inscription on the sign.
