Drive to Tolmin and at the main traffic lights turn in the direction of Zatolmin (right if you are coming from Ljubljana, or left if you are coming from Nova Gorica). In Zatolmin, follow the main road leading to Tolmisnki kority and Čadrg. Follow this road straight ahead at first, and then the road begins to climb in a winding manner. Follow it all the way to the cekvica Sv. Petra, where you will also see a sign for the Triglav National Park. There is a small parking lot along the road, where you park.

Continue on foot along the track that runs just to the left of the church. The track will soon turn into a narrow forest path behind the church, which will take you all the way up to the asphalt road. Continue along this road for a few hundred metres until you see a narrow turnoff on the right-hand side. Here you turn back onto the forest track. The path will lead you to Selce, where the chapel is also located. Continue on the trail behind the chapel. Here the path begins to climb steeply and remains so almost to our summit. Along the way, you can observe the mighty peaks of the Julian Alps. Just before the summit, the trail passes from the forest to the meadow. Only a few hundred metres of gentler climbing to go and we will reach our destination.

After rain, some of the steep path is very slippery.
