Javorje - Koprivnik (via Brdo)

Access to the starting point:
Take the Poljane nad Škofjo Loko, from where you continue towards Javorje from the semaphore crossroads. When Poljane ends, the road leads through Volča, and after this settlement the road starts to climb steeply. Go higher through Dolenčice, and then you will arrive in Javorje, where you will park in the parking lot near the Javorje branch primary school.

Path description:
From the parking lot, in front of which you will find some basic information about the Javorje meteorite (the Javorje meteorite is the 3rd meteorite found in Slovenia), continue past the primary school, and after the school, signs point you to the left. Follow the asphalt footpath uphill, and a little higher up, return to the asphalt road and follow it to the left. Following the road, which offers beautiful views, you will quickly reach a marked crossroads, from which you continue to the right in the direction of Škofja Loka, Stari vrh and St Brikcius (Blegoš, Žetina and the Church of the Assumption on the left).

Some 10 metres further on, the road splits once more and we continue to the hard left (straight ahead Četena Ravan and Koča na Starem vrh). The way ahead climbs past a few houses, after which the asphalt ends and we continue our journey, first on the macadam road, and later on the cart track road (Četena Ravan and Koča na Starem vrh). At the crossroads, follow the yellow-green markings and the path takes you through the forest for a few minutes. When the forest ends, we reach a small hamlet, and we continue to the right in the direction of Podvrh. There is a short climb, then a wide cart track and, with fine views of Mladi and Stari vrh, we reach the village of Podvrh, where we take a sharp left. Continue along the dirt road, and at the small chapel go left again. After crossing a viewpoint, the road enters the forest and begins to climb.

Higher up, at the lookout point, where there are several piles of sand, a path from the Hleviše prevala joins us from the left, and we continue straight into the forest, where the path splits.

Slightly to the left, the trail continues between the mountains and the trail to Koprivnik, and slightly to the right, the trail leads to Mladi vrh.
Continue slightly to the left and follow the path along a less well-made dirt road, which continues for some time without any major changes in elevation. Continue slightly to the left, and when the road starts to climb, continue along the road towards Koprivnika (left Path between the mountains) at a marked crossroads. After the crossroads, the road turns right and then climbs cross-country to the Brdo pass, where there is a marked crossroads.
Continue along the road to the left in the direction of Koprivnik (straight road which leads down into the Selška valley or to Zapreval, to the right along the marked path Mladi vrh), and walk along it until you reach a point where the signs for Koprivnik direct you to the right onto a footpath which begins to climb through the forest. The way ahead leads us along dirt tracks, where at crossroads we follow the markings, and higher up, with a few clearings, we get a nice view of the neighbouring Mladi vrh. For a while we walk along the relatively well-marked cart track, but then it turns into a footpath which takes us through the last meadow into the forest and a little further on to the top of Koprivnik.
