Access to the starting point:
From Logatec, drive towards Idrija. Just after the village Kalce you will see a road heading left towards the villages Podkraj and Col. Take this rather winding road and follow it to the village Podkraj. Park in the small parking lot on the roadside near the signpost for the end of the village Podkraj (there are also mountain direction signs by the parking lot).
From Primorska, take the first road to Col and then continue towards Podkraj village. When the road leads to the beginning of the village, do not continue right into the village, but continue along the upper left road, which bypasses the village centre. Near the sign for the start of Podkraj, park in a small parking area by the road.
Path description:
From the starting point, take the ascending cart track in the route Sveti Duh and Javornik. "After a few steps, Cart track turns right and then climbs transversely across a grassy slope. Higher up, we pass into a short lane of forest, after which the path leads us to a marked crossroads, where we continue to the right in the direction of Javornik (left Sv. Duh and Križna gora). The path continues to climb gently along the edge of the forest, and then leads us to Isaac's hut (a small emergency bivouac), which is located slightly to the left of the path.
Slightly above the bivouac, you will reach a crossroads of several kolovozov. Continue straight ahead (direction Javornik) along the partly stony cart track and follow it for a few minutes, then at a small crossroads (marked) continue slightly right along the grassy cart track, which leads us past an old military bunker. Go around the bunker on the left and the path leads to the edge of a pasture fence. Continue along the grazing fence for a while and then the path makes an orientation lop. The path turns right downhill, so to speak in the direction from which you are coming, and then after a short descent left into the forest. Further on, we enter a dense forest and climb moderately for a while on a rather overgrown cart track. There is a short descent and the path leads to a dirt road, which you follow to the left. The road soon leads us out of the forest onto a wide grassy slope, in the middle of which we come to a crossroads.
Continue straight ahead (right Javornik) along the dirt road, which soon returns to the forest and leads us higher up to a small pass, where we will notice a small sign on the right hand side, just a few steps off the path. Here we continue sharp right (straight on the Srednja gora road) along the marked and relatively steep cart track, which levels off, turns into a footpath and turns to the left. A few minutes of ascent follows and the path leads to Streliški vrh.
