Idrija - Hleviška planina (hunting path)

Access to starting point:
A) First, we drive to Logatec, and then we continue driving towards Idrija. When we get to Idrija we need to pay attention, because at the main crossroad we will leave the main road which leads towards Tolmin and we will turn left towards the center of the town. We park a few 100 meters ahead on the arranged parking lot next to the main bus station.
B) From Most na Soči or Podbrdo we drive to Bača pri Modreju, and then we continue driving towards Idrija. When we get to Idrija we need to pay attention, because at the main crossroad we will leave the main road which leads towards Logatec and we will turn right towards the center of the town. We park a few 100 meters ahead on the arranged parking lot next to the main bus station.

Route description:
From the parking lot, we continue by the road which continues through the center of Idrija. After a short walk through the town, we get to a crossroad, where we continue left in the direction of Čekovnik and Vojsko. The road which then starts slightly ascending only a little higher brings us to the next crossroad. We continue in an already known direction towards Čekovnik and Vojsko, and we follow the even a little steeper road to the next crossroad, by which we notice signs for Hleviška planina.
Here the road sign for Hleviška planina is pointing left, and we continue right towards Vojsko. From the crossroad, we follow the road towards Vojsko 60 more meters and then we turn left on a narrow and steep road, on which we quickly ascend above Idrija. At the last houses in Čopičeva ulica a nice view opens up on a larger part of the town, and the road changes into a cart track, on which we ascend to the nearby forest road.
We reach the road at the smaller chapel, by which there is also a crossing of multiple paths. We continue right (straight on the road - forest path Pšenk), where we are immediately at the next crossing.
And here we continue left uphill on a steep path with signs - lovska pot (hunting path) (straight on the road - Hleviška planina via Kodrov rovt). The path ahead starts steeply ascending through the forest, but it soon flattens. Next follows a diagonal ascent towards the left, where after a few minutes we reach a relatively new cart track, and it brings us to a crossing of several cart tracks. At the mentioned crossing, we continue right on a wide footpath, and it then moderately ascends through the forest. The path ahead leads us through a site of wild garlic and past the bench, still towards the left. Higher, we reach an indistinct ridge, where the path turns a little to the right and becomes a little steeper. After a shorter steep ascent, we reach a bad forest road, and we follow it to the right. A little higher we join a wider macadam road, and it quickly brings us to a marked crossing, where the path via Kodrov rovt joins.
Here we go straight and we continue on the road which is closed for public traffic. This road which soon comes out of the forest, we follow all the way to the cottage Koča na Hleviški planini, which we reach after a good 5 minutes of additional walking.
From the cottage, we go in the direction of Hleviška planina and we continue the ascent on the path which passes into the forest and starts ascending steeply. The path ahead at first leads by the edge of the ridge and then it gradually passes into a smaller valley, where it also flattens and on which we ascend to the top of Hleviška planina.
