Zavratec - Medvedje Brdo

Access to the starting point:
From Žiri, drive towards Logatec, but only as far as the hamlet of Brnikov Log, where you continue to the right (from the route of Logatec to the left) in the direction of Zavratec. Higher up, in Spodnje Zavratec, you will reach a small crossroads, where you continue left in the direction of Idrija and Godovič. When you arrive in Zgornji Zavratec, drive a little further from the church and then park in the parking lot next to the sports ground.

Path description:
From the starting point, we continue along the road, which turns into a lane of a forest, and we start descending moderately quickly. During the descent, the path leads us past a solitary house, after which the road gradually flattens out, and a little further on we cross the lane of the forest again. Once out of the forest again, you reach the village of Potok, where the path leads you past a few houses. When the village ends, the road starts to climb again, and we continue on the macadam road. The road climbs steeply in two serpentines, and then we join the marked path or road.
Follow the road to the right, and after 100 m we reach a place where we join an asphalt road, which we follow to the left. Continue along the asphalt road, which runs along a scenic ridge, and then passes the fire house at Medvedje Brdo, which leads to a crossroads by the chapel. Turn right here and left at the next crossroads in the direction of the Open Door Farm Šinkovc. There is a short climb and you reach the top of Medvedje Brdo, where you can see the military buildings of the former JNA on the left and the viewing platform at Medvedje Brdo on the right.
