Podbrdo - Možic

Access to the starting point:
a) First drive to Škofja Loka, then continue to Železniki and Tolmin. When you arrive in Podbrdo, pay attention, because just after the church you will turn right onto a narrow local road that starts to climb along the river Bača. Park in a suitable place on the roadside, or in a small parking lot next to the local cemetery.
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 towards Podbrdo. At the end of Podbrdo, pay attention, because just before the church of St. Nicholas you will turn left onto a narrow local road, which begins to climb along the river Bača. Park in a suitable place on the roadside, or in a small parking lot next to the local cemetery.

Path description:
From the starting point, continue along the initially still asphalted road, from which a marked footpath soon branches off sharply to the left towards Vrhu Bače. Continue past an old residential house, gradually turning into the forest. Through the forest, we climb along a relatively well-marked and partly also quite steep mountain path, which is higher and leads us out of the forest to a short scenic slope, over which we walk to the nearby church of St Lenart.
At the church, you enter a narrow road, which leads you quickly to the village of Bača near Podbrdo. Through the small and picturesque village, follow the signs and they will lead you to cart track, which begins to climb through the forest. The narrower and at first slightly overgrown cart track, however, joins the old mulatier after a few minutes. Follow the wide mulatier to the right, and after a few minutes it leads to a small crossroads, where you continue along the upper left path in the direction of Vrh Bače (slightly to the right Petrovo Brdo).
We continue to climb for some time on the well-preserved and quite wide mule track, which we leave for a short time higher up, as the path leads us along a marked shortcut. Higher up, the mule track path is stopped a few times by some fallen trees, and we then approach the cliffs of Šance Peak, where we leave the mule track. Next, we climb up a rather steep path, which takes us 5 minutes of further walking to reach the hunting hut on Vrhu Bače.
From the hunting hut continue in the direction of Črna prst, then, a few steps below the indistinct saddle Vrh Bače, continue right in the direction of Šavnik and Cairn. The way forward climbs steeply through the forest for a short time, then leads to a grassy leveling, where the path is transiently laid. The way forward returns to the forest, where after a short climb it leads us to an old military bunker, which has been converted into a kind of weekend retreat, and the path bypasses it on the right-hand side. The moderately steep path then leads us to the edge of the ridge (here we can climb in a few steps to a beautiful viewpoint - a view of Baško Grapa and Kobla) along which we then climb through more or less compacted forest. Higher up, the trail turns left and completely flattens out. A good 5 minute walk follows, and then the path leads us to a larger grassy slope between Šavnik and Slatnik. Here we continue on the easy path, which turns to the right and after a few steps leads us to a marked crossroads. Continue straight on (left Šavnik) and cross the meadow called Na poljani. After a few steps, go around the emergency bivouac and just a little further on you will come to a less visible crossroads, where you continue slightly right (slightly left mountain pasture after Šavnik). The marked path then passes into the forest, where it starts to climb relatively steeply. Higher up, the forest thins out and the path leads to a small saddle between Možic on the left and Slatnik on the right. Here, take a sharp left (Slatnik and Lajnar to the right) and continue in the direction Cairn. The route continues along the old mulatier, which is then followed to the top of Cairn, which is reached after about 10 minutes of further walking.
