Access to starting point:
A) First, we drive to Logatec, and then we continue driving towards Idrija. When the most winding part of the road towards Idrija ends, we arrive at the hamlet of Podroteja, where we leave the main road and continue left in the direction of Divje jezero and Idrijska Bela. We drive a few hundred meters along the road and then park on the parking lot by the information boards for the nearby Divje jezero.
B) From Most na Soči or Podbrdo we drive to the settlement Bača pri Modreju, and then we continue driving towards Idrija and further towards Logatec. At the end of Idrija, more precisely at the hamlet of Podroteja, we leave the main road and continue right in the direction of Divje jezero and Idrijska Bela. We drive a few hundred meters along the road and then park on the parking lot by the information boards for the nearby Divje jezero.
Route description:
From the parking lot by Divje jezero we continue on the road, but we walk along it only some 10 meters, then the signs for the path Ob Rakah direct us to the right onto a footbridge, over which we walk to the other side of the Idrijca. On the other side of the Idrijca we reach a walking path, which we follow to the left (right Idrija). We continue on a gently sloping path that continues alongside the canal through which water flows. The canal was built for the needs of the mine pump. At the dam, which we reach after a few minutes, the canal ends, and we continue on a wide path that continues alongside the river Idrijca. Further on we cross fairly steep slopes, but since the path is wide enough it does not cause us problems in dry conditions. A little further we arrive at a marked junction, where we leave the marked path and continue the ascent to the right in the direction of the peak Struga.
The path ahead first ascends steeply, then turns to the right, where it continues ascending transversely to the right. Here, due to forestry works, the trail is harder to follow in several places, but it always runs in approximately the same direction, so there are no major problems with orientation. Higher up we reach the end of the forest road, and we continue along it. The path ahead leads us above Padarjeva grapa, and the path leads us past the abyss Za Pšenkom, after which we quickly arrive at a junction, where we join the asphalt road. We follow the road to the left, and soon a path branches off to the right from it to the nearby Taborniška koča na Pšenku. We continue further along the asphalt road, which soon brings us to the settlement Čekovnik, where we arrive at the next junction. Here we continue to the right in the direction of Koča na Hlevišah and continue the ascent along a moderately steep macadam road. The road, alongside which we notice some old faded blazes, leads us further past some water reservoirs, then we leave it and continue the ascent slightly to the left along a less well-marked path. Soon we return to the road, reaching it right at the marked junction where several direction signs stand.
Here we continue to the left in the direction of Hleviška planina (right Idrija, straight Idrija via Kodrov rovt) and continue along the road that is closed to public traffic. We follow this road, which soon brings us out of the forest, all the way to the Koča na Hleviški planini, which we reach after a good 5 minutes of further walking.

Is the path from Divje jezero over Struga peak already trodden? I'm going up tomorrow. Thanks

Snow is above the elevation of Hleviška planina.

Excellent varied trail. I recommend it more in dry weather, because from Idrijca upwards it can be quite slippery in damp conditions. We still managed it without problems with our 4-year-old daughter and met as many as five roe deer along the way, which made our day even better. At the hut, there is also a swing and a mini climbing wall, so it's a perfect hike for our young hikers.

You forgot about the good food at the hut.

Unfortunately the hut was closed that day, so we didn't have the chance to try the food. But it's worth detouring right below the summit to the bench with a view of the Alps.

The path is nice, but there's quite a bit of walking on the road, which isn't the most pleasant. Therefore, I recommend turning right onto the gravel road (picture 27) to the nearby Taborniški koča na Pšenku instead of continuing on the asphalt road, from where you go over a small bridge onto a nice forest trail that leads to the road much higher up. Otherwise, the path to the top of Struga also branches off from the path by the Rake (over a small bridge).
