Access

At the traffic-light intersection in the
centre of Tolmin, start following the signs for Javorca.

Just behind the village of Zatolmin, you arrive to a 7-km-long narrow gravel road (approx. 20 min drive) with numerous passing places which is only appropriate for personal vehicles.

When you reach the parking lot under Javorca, continue on foot for approximately 15-20 min along the concrete path.

A special traffic regime applies in summer.
