The stage starts from the center of Komen heading towards Debela griža where you can see one of the best-preserved prehistoric hillforts in the entire Karst region. Then it proceeds towards Volčji Grad, Nadrožica until reaching Gorjansko where the largest Austro-Hungarian military cemetery in Slovenian territory is located, whose monumental part was completed in 1916. From this point, following the road, the path goes towards the Italian border until crossing it and concluding the route finally reaching the village of Malchina. This is the southernmost point of the ring started from Nova Gorica. From here, you can decide whether to go back through the parallel Italian stages or continue towards Trieste/Trst.
