Access to the starting point:
a) First drive to Logatec, then continue driving towards Idrija. When you arrive in Idrija, pay attention, because at the main intersection you will leave the main road leading to Tolmin and turn left towards the town centre. Park a few 100 m further on in the parking lot next to the main bus station.
b) From Most na Soči or Podbrdo, drive to Bača near Modre, then continue to Idrija. When you arrive in Idrija, pay attention, because at the main crossroads you will leave the main road leading to Logatec and turn right towards the town centre. Park a few 100 m further on in the parking lot next to the main bus station.
Path description:
From the parking lot, continue along the road through the centre of Idrija. After a short walk through the town, you arrive at a crossroads, where you continue left in the direction of Čekovnik and Vojsko. The road, which begins to climb slightly, leads you just a little higher to the next crossroads. Continue in the familiar direction towards Čekovnik and Vojsko, and we follow the slightly steeper road to the next junction, at which we see the signs for Hleviška planina.
Here the road sign for Hleviška planina points left, and we continue right towards Vojsko. From the crossroads, follow the road towards Vojsko for another 60 m, then turn left onto a narrow and steep road that quickly climbs above Idrija. At the last houses in Čopičeva Street, you get a nice view of most of the town, and the road turns into a cart track, which you follow up to a nearby forest road.
The road reaches a small chapel, at which there is also a crossroads of several paths. Continue to the right (straight ahead along the forest path Pšenk), where you will immediately reach the next crossroads. Continue along the road (left up the bank, hunting trail to Hleviška planina), which is converted into a toboggan run in winter. Follow the road, which climbs moderately mostly through the forest, to its end, then continue slightly right on the marked mountain path. The way forward climbs moderately through the forest for a while, then leads to a ridge where it gradually starts to climb steeper. The path continues along the vegetated ridge, leading us higher up to the undistinguished peak Kodrov rovt, from which there is a short descent to a nearby forest road. The road continues straight ahead, and we quickly follow it to a marked crossroads, where we turn right in the direction of Koča na Hleviški planini (left down Pšenk and Idrija) and continue along the road, which is closed to public traffic. Follow this road, which soon leads out of the forest, all the way to Koča na Hleviški planini, only to reach it after a further 5 minutes of walking.
From the hut, continue in the direction of Hleviška planina and follow the path as it enters the forest and begins to climb steeply. The way forward initially leads us along the edge of the ridge, 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 continue along the scenic ridge, then the trail turns left and starts to descend steeply. When the slope is bearable, an unmarked trail branches sharply to the right back towards the hut at Hleviška planina, and we continue straight ahead, following the trail as it continues along and along the ridge connecting Hleviše mountain pasture with the adjacent summit. The path continues 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 towards Vojsko (Idrija on the right) and continue along the asphalt road. The way ahead leads us across Kočevše, where you will be able to see rock hermits (Choki, Trdini) on the left 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. 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 us 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.
