Podbrdo - Lajnar

Access to the starting point:
a) First drive to Škofja Loka, then continue to Železniki, Podbrdo and Tolmin. When you arrive in Podbrdo, park in a suitable place in the centre of the town.

b) From the road Idrija - Most na Soči, turn right at Bača pri Modreju, or left if you are coming from the route of Posočje, and continue to Podbrdo. When you arrive in Podbrdo, park in a suitable place in the centre of the town.

Path description:
From the centre of Podbrdo, continue along the main road towards Železniki, where the path initially leads past the kindergarten and the Simon Kos Primary School Podbrdo. Some 10 m further on, at a small crossroads, continue left towards the parish church of St. Nicholas in Podbrdo, where opposite the TIC Podbrdo we see the first mountain direction signs for Bača at Podbrdo and Vrh Bače (there are also signs for the Mountain Marathon of the 4 Municipalities (GM4O)). A little further on, the road we are walking on turns slightly left over a small bridge (straight cemetery) and begins to climb crosswise over the river Bača. The asphalt soon ends and the road leads us behind a wooden sign to a marked crossroads where a marked footpath branches off to the left towards Vrh Bače (the path through the Bača at Podbrdo), and we continue along the road, along which there are still signs for GM4O. At a small leveling off the road turns right and splits into two parts. The left-hand path (originally a road) leads to the settlement of Bača at Podbrdo, but we continue straight ahead here, this time on a road that gradually crosses over to the left bank of the river Bača. A little further on, from the marked crossroads, continue left in the route GM4O (straight Petrovo Brdo).

Continue along the macadam road, which first makes a right serpentine, and in the middle of the next left serpentine leave it and continue straight on cart track (if you continue along the road you will reach a nearby homestead). The way forward takes us along cart track or the old road and for a while cross-climbs to the right, and higher up where another path joins from the right and goes sharp left. There follows a cross-climb where we pass through a more grassy part, where under the path we also see the old vertical, wide path, and the old road starts to climb in longer serpentines. Higher up we reach a dilapidated building of the Rapallo border, after which a fainter path branches off to the right, leading towards the nearby Kup, and we continue along the wider path. There is a bit more of a traverse, and then we reach the next building, which is much larger than the first, and from which we get a nice view. Higher up, at a couple of crossroads, follow the wider path, and when you join the marked path from Petrov Brda, take a sharp left. Walking through the forest and a few ravines, the path leads to a crossroads near the Hunter's bivouac at Koucah.
Here go right towards Lajnar and Slatnik (straight ahead 1 minute to Hunter's bivouac at Kouce).
The trail, which is not marked, continues along the old mulatier, which quickly leads us out of the forest, where we cross relatively steep slopes. Higher up, the path passes into the lane of a forest, where it turns sharply to the left. Follow this well-traced and increasingly scenic path, which makes some serpentines higher up, all the way to the main ridge, where you rejoin the waymarked path.
Once on the marked trail, take a sharp right (straight ahead Možic and Slatnik) and after a few steps you will reach the route signs. Continue in the route Lajnar and follow the moderately steep path climbing along and along the ridge Lajnar to the summit, which is reached after about 10 minutes of further walking.
