Access to the starting point:
a) First drive to Idrija, then continue to Tolmin. When you arrive in Straža, more precisely when you see the traffic lights at the crossroads where the road to Cerkno turns off to the right, just a few metres before the crossroads, turn left over the bridge over the Idrijca river onto the road towards the village of Jagršče. You can park just after the bridge or higher up in a suitable place along the road.
b) Take Most na Soči or Podbrdo to Bača pri Modreju and then continue towards Idrija. Just a few metres after the junction where the road from Cerkno joins from the left, turn right towards the village of Jagršče. You can park just after the bridge or higher up in a suitable place along the road.
Path description:
Continue along the road, which initially runs parallel to the Idrijca River and then leads you past a few houses. The road turns slightly to the right and we follow the signs "Jagršče". The asphalted road then climbs through the forest in switchbacks for some time. Higher up, more and more beautiful views begin to open up and the road leads us out of the forest. There is a short climb along the scenic road to the church in the village of Jagršče.
At the crossroads by the church, continue left and the road, which climbs gently, leads into the forest. In the forest, the asphalt ends quickly and you soon reach a marked crossroads. A marked trail to the left leads to the top of Jelenk, and we continue along the road, which then descends slightly. When we come out of the forest, we can see the Vrhovec peak, which is still quite far away. The road then soon stops descending and turns slightly to the right.
We continue along the dirt road for some time and the path leads us past a few farms. At the crossroads, keep to the main road and the signs for the cycle path. Later, the road starts to descend again and leads to a marked crossroads in the forest. The road to the right leads down towards the village Šebrelje, and we continue up to the left.
The road leads us through the forest for a while and then we reach a saddle where we will see a chapel on the left side of the road.
At the saddle, leave the main road and continue slightly to the right on the narrow cart track, which leads along the left side of the house. Cart track climbs through the forest and leads to grassy slopes. Continue following cart track as it climbs the grassy slopes in keys. Just below the summit, cart track ends and then climbs the grassy slope towards the summit, which can already be seen in front of you. A large sign at the top of the hill also helps us to find our way.
