Divje jezero - Vojsko (via Prižnica)

Access to the starting point:
a) First drive to Logatec, then continue to Idrija. When the most winding part of the road towards Idrija ends, you will reach the hamlet of Podroteja, where you leave the main road and continue driving to the left in the direction of Divje jezero and Idrijska Bela. Follow the road for another 100 m, then park in the parking lot next to the information signs for the nearby Divje jezero.
b) From Most na Soči or Podbrdo, drive to Bača near Modre, then continue towards Idrija and on to Logatec. At the end of Idrija, at the hamlet of Podroteja, leave the main road and turn right in the direction of Divje jezero and Idrijska Bela. Follow the road for another 100 m, then park in the parking lot next to the information signs for the nearby Divje jezero.

Path description:
From the parking lot at Divje jezero we continue along the road, we walk along it for only a few 10 m, and then the signs for the path by the Raka direct us to the right to the footbridge, over which we walk to the other side of the Idrijka. On the other side of the Idrijka you reach a footpath, and we follow it to the left (Idrija on the right). We continue along the gently sloping path, which continues along the canal through which the water flows. The canal was built to serve the needs of a mine pump. The canal ends at the dam, which is reached after a few minutes, and we continue along a wide path that continues along the Idrijca River. We continue along a rather steep slope, but as the path is wide enough it does not cause us any problems on land. A little further on, we arrive at a marked crossroads where the path to the right branches off towards the Struga summit, and we continue in the same direction. Just a little further on, a second path joins us from the left from the road along which we parked below (this path is part of the ICPP and leads on towards Zadlog - access along this path is blocked due to a closed footbridge (March 2012)), and we continue straight on here and follow the cross path to a nearby bench, along which there are direction signs.
Here we continue to the right and start climbing, first moderately and then steeply, through the forest. Higher up, the path bends to the left and continues along a scrambly path surrounded by sparse scrub (the area called Modrasovše). We continue the cross-climb to the left and the path leads us to a beautiful viewpoint on Prižnica (so the inscription on the rock, the real Prižnica should be a little higher and a little off the mountain path), which opens up a beautiful view of the Zgornja Idrijca Landscape Park and the Idrijca River deep below.
Continue past the bench and continue along the path, which gradually begins to descend crosswise. After a short, steep descent, you reach cart track, where the markings point sharply to the right. The ascent continues along cart track, which continues to climb moderately through the forest, and higher up it approaches a rock edge, which is slightly off the path (if you have the will, you can walk to the edge of the "Prižnica", which offers a beautiful and precipitous view). Higher up, the marked trail passes the nearby hay fields on the right, and then climbs up to the Zagrebenc farm. From the farm, continue slightly to the right and cross the meadow to the 763 m high Zagrebenc (also Čekovnik on maps).
From Zagrebenc, which offers a fine view towards Golaki, first descend to a grassy saddle and then climb to another less distinct peak. Here we first cross a short lane of forest, and then, with a view of Hleviška planina, we start descending towards the nearby asphalt road, which we only cross. We continue for a short distance along a dirt road leading to a nearby dwelling house, and soon we are continuing slightly left on a relatively steep path which climbs higher and leads us to a marked crossroads. Continue straight on towards Hleviše, crossing another dirt road just a little higher up. The way forward climbs for a while crosswise through the forest, then leads us to grassy slopes, over which we climb in a few minutes to the hut at Hleviše mountain pasture.
From the hut, continue in the direction of Hleviška planina and continue the ascent along the path which enters the forest and begins to climb steeply. The way forward initially leads us along the edge of the ridge, and then gradually passes into a small valley, where it also lays and after which we climb to the top of Hleviška planina.
From Hleviše mountain pasture we continue along the ridge, then the path turns left and starts to descend steeply. When the slope is bearable, an unmarked trail branches off sharply to the right back towards the Hut on Hleviše mountain pasture, and we continue straight ahead, following the trail as it continues along and along the ridge connecting Hleviška planina with the adjacent summit. We continue with some ascents and descents, mostly through the forest. The previously mentioned neighbouring peak Blaškova planina is passed on the right and then the path returns to the forested ridge where, after a further gentle descent, a marked crossroads is reached.
Here continue straight on (left down Tratnik and Idrijske klavže) and the path, which continues through the forest, gradually becomes cart track. The cart track, which slowly turns more and more to the right, soon passes Mohoričev vrh (975 m) on the right. On the other side of the summit, cart track widens further and leads to a nearby residential house, which is bypassed on the right-hand side, as the path leads us under the carport of a nearby garage. The path continues along cart track, which crosses an open meadow, which is situated above some houses in the nearby hamlet. The path returns briefly to the forest, then descends to an asphalt road, which is followed to the right to a nearby crossroads. At the crossroads, where there are information boards, turn left in the direction Vojsko (Idrija on the right) and continue along the asphalt road. The way ahead leads us across Kočevše, where we will be able to see the rock hermits (Choki, Trdini) on the left side in the middle of the meadows. Continue along the road, which passes into the lane of the forest, and then the road is re-laid and leads us to a small crossroads, where a road branches off to the right to the nearby tourist farm Pri belem kamnu (At the White Stone). Continue straight on here and at all subsequent junctions in the same way. The road, which occasionally continues through the woods, but mostly through vast meadows, with views of the Trnov Forest and the surrounding hills, leads after about an hour's further walking to the Church of St Joseph at Vojsko, from where a fine view opens up towards Škofjeloško and the Cerkljansko hills, and, with good visibility, also towards the Julian Alps.
