Access to the starting point:
From Železniki head towards Soriška mountain pasture. At the crossroads at Zgornja Sorica, turn left towards Petrovy Brda and Tolmin and then park 50 m later in a suitable space at the next crossroads.
From Podbrdo drive towards Železniki, but only as far as the village of Petrovo Brdo, where continue left in the direction of Soriška mountain pasture. Follow this road to Zgornja Sorica, where you park only about 50 m before the crossroads where the road to Železniki branches off to the right.
Access from the Bohinj direction is also possible.
Path description:
From the starting point, focus on the ascending macadam road, which after a few steps leads to a crossroads. Continue along the slightly steeper cart track, which climbs between the two roads (the right-hand road leads to the nearby quarry). The initially relatively steep cart track soon lays down and leads us over a scenic slope (overloking Sorica) to a place where we get on a marked path (you can also take the marked path to here, which starts right at the crossroads, but I advise against climbing it due to the overgrowth).
Continue the ascent on a well-marked footpath, which, higher up, is quite close to the road to Soriška mountain pasture.
Continue straight ahead towards Lajnar (right on the Soriška planina road) along the path, which is becoming increasingly overgrown. The well-marked path continues to climb the slopes of Dravha, leading us higher up to the edge of the forest, where we see a dilapidated shepherd's hut.
Further on, the path leaves the forest onto a heavily overgrown grassy slope (the markings also become more sparse), which is ascended on a barely visible path. The overgrown path crosses some wet, slip-prone slopes in the upper part, then leads to the main ridge where the overgrowth ends.
Continue left (right Dravh 10 min) along the path, which descends gently and leads to the saddle between Dravh and Lajnar. Here you cross a pasture fence and then continue the ascent along a ski slope. When you are almost at the top, leave the track and continue slightly to the left along a pleasant path, which will take you to the top in a few 10 steps of further walking.
We can extend the trip to the following destinations: Dravh
