Tips

The windows at Olševa are located in the north-west of the territory of the Republic of Austria, as they also call Felsentore. The way to them is to the left of the path leading from Sv. The spirit against the Potočka zigzag is quite exposed and is not recommended for inexperienced, gnarled hikers, as it crosses a rather precipitous slipping hazardous wall. Even a hiker who will go to Olševo from the west, from Remšenik, will face this magnificent natural structure, which the Korošci call the Gate. These are three large natural windows in the rocky rib, supporting the north-western slope of the mountain as a mighty pillar. Suitable for visiting in dry season.

Beautiful view! A little more demanding.

The only way to get to the rock gates is via a rope-secured point. The passage is not difficult, but sure-footedness is still required.
