Path description:
From the starting point, continue along the macadam road, which leads through the underpass under the railway line, and just after the underpass, a footpath branches off slightly to the left to Porezen. Here you can continue left in the direction of Porezno and climb up to the homestead of Rora along the usually quite overgrown path, or continue along the gently sloping road, from which you go a little further left on the road, next to which there is a sign for a cul-de-sac (a straight driveway towards Zakojca) and climb up it to the homestead of Rora.
At the homestead there is a marked crossroads, and we continue right towards Zakojca (left Porezen) and follow the slightly less well marked road down to the stream Porezen, cross it over a stone bridge, and then return to the carriageway towards Zakojca. Continue the ascent on a fairly nice macadam road, which offers occasional views of part of the Lower Bohinj Mountains. Higher up, the path leads us between pastures and hay fields, and then past a road sign marking the beginning of the settlement of Zakojca. After the sign, the path leads us past a crucifix and a few houses, and then on the left we can already see the Bevko homestead, which can be visited every day, and the keys can be obtained in Zakojca at the Tourist Farm at Flandre.
Go around the homestead on the right, then turn left onto the footpath towards Zakojce. We are then accompanied by signs and rare markings, which were not present from the Rora homestead onwards, and we cross the pastures to reach the aforementioned tourist farm, where we also reach an asphalt road.
Follow the road to the left, which leads past the NOB memorial, and leave at the transformer, where you go right to cart track (the branch is not marked). After a few steps, when cart track becomes grassy and turns into pasture meadows, you will see a marking confirming that you are on the right track. We then climb to the upper edge of the pasture, from where, looking back, we have a fine view of Zakojca and the Lower Bohinj Mountains chain, and before the hunting observation post, the markings point us left to cart track, which climbs crosswise to the left. Higher up, the path, which is still partly on tracks, occasionally disappears, but we follow the signs, which after a while lead us into a dense forest, where we finally leave the track. There is a steep climb through the forest, where, along a poorly trodden path, we follow fairly frequent markings. Higher up, we almost imperceptibly join a fainter path from the right, which completely encircles Kojca at a height of about 1100 metres, and our route turns left here and completely lays down. A few minutes' crossing follows, and then you reach a crossroads where you join the better-beaten path from Jesenica and Ořelek. There is a moderate climb and then we join the path from Rijeka and the second path from Ořelek, and the path round Kojca continues in the same direction.
The way forward again starts to climb steeply and continues along the eastern ridge of Kojca, with occasional views. For a few minutes we continue to climb through the forest, and then the forest ends and the path lays down, and we are only a few minutes' walk from the summit with the famous haystack.
