Access to the starting point:
From Logatec, drive to Tolmin or vice versa. When you reach Idrija, turn left (from Logatec - Tolmin) towards the centre. In the middle of Idrija, turn left towards Vojsko and follow the road until the next crossroads, where you turn left towards Hleviška mountain pasture. The road leads us higher up to a small crossroads and mountain signs. Park in the roadside parking lot near this crossroads, called "pri Baba".
Path description:
From the parking lot, continue along the path towards the Sanitary Station Monument. After a few minutes, the wide path leads to a crossroads, where you continue straight up the path, which climbs steeply (to the right of the NOB monument). After a few minutes, the steepness eases and the path descends a few times and climbs again. After the last descent, the path leads to a wide cart track, which is followed to the left and after a few steps immediately to the right. The way forward leads to a large parking lot in front of the Pšenk Scout Home (you can also drive here). From the hut, continue along the path, which crosses a small bridge and then climbs along the stream. The path then passes a spring and leads us a little further on to a forest road, which we follow to the right. The road leads us on past another small crossroads, where we continue straight ahead. Just a little further on, we leave the road as the poorly marked path heads upwards to the left. After a few minutes, we rejoin the road, which we then follow to the hut at Hleviška mountain pasture.
From the hut, continue in the direction of Hleviška mountain pasture and continue the ascent along the path, which turns into a forest and starts 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 mountain pasture.
From Hleviška mountain pasture continue along the ridge, then the path turns left and starts to descend steeply. When the slope is bearable, an unmarked path branches off sharply to the right back towards the Hleviška mountain pasture hut, and we continue straight on, following the path along and along the ridge connecting Hleviška mountain pasture with the adjacent summit. The path continues with some ascents and descents, mostly through the forest. The previously mentioned neighbouring peak, Blaškova mountain pasture, is bypassed on the right, and the path then returns to the forested ridge, where, after a further gentle descent, it reaches a marked crossroads.
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 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 in the direction of Vojsko (Idrija on the right) and continue along the asphalt road. The way ahead leads through Kočevše, where you will be able to see rock hermits (Choki, Trdini) on the left side 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 the road to the right branches off 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 of further walking to the Church of St. Joseph in Vojsko, from where we have a beautiful view of the Škofjeloško and Cerkljansko hills, and, with good visibility, also of the Julian Alps.
