Access to the starting point:
From the motorway Ljubljana - Jesenica take the exit Lesce and follow the road towards Bled and on to Bohinjska Bistrica. From Bohinjska Bistrica turn left towards Tolmin and Soriška mountain pasture. Follow this road to a large parking lot near the Soriška ski centre mountain pasture.
From Železniki go to Podbrdo or vice versa, but only as far as where the signs for Soriška planina direct you to the ascending road. Follow this road to the large parking lot at the foot of the Soriška ski slope mountain pasture.
Path description:
From the parking lot, turn onto the macadam road, which will take you to the Soriška mountain pasture hut in five minutes.
From the hut, continue under the ski lift, where there is a marked path. The path then takes us across meadows in 25 minutes to a ridge with a fence and a crossroads. Continue right (left Lajnar) along the path, which splits into two parts. You can continue on the "southern route", which is marked, or on the "northern route", which is not marked. The two paths, which each go around Mali Slatnik (1600m), merge after 10 minutes and then turn slightly to the right. The path continues in a semicircle around a slightly larger sinkhole and then leads to an old military barracks, next to which you can also see a small chapel.
Continue westwards and after a few steps the path leads to an undistinguished, but scenic, ridge. The path then descends gently and within a few minutes leads to a crossroads.
Continue left downhill (slight right Možic 10 minutes) on the path, which begins to descend gently at first and then more and more. After 15 minutes of descending through the forest, the path leads to a grassy valley, where you continue left towards a hunting observation post. Near the hunting observatory is a crossroads where you turn slightly right towards Šavnik (left Vrh Bače, sharp right mountain pasture after Šavnik) on a path that goes into the lane of a forest and climbs slightly steeper. Once out of the forest, there is a short climb up a wide and increasingly scenic ridge, which you follow to the top.
