Idrija - Vojsko (hunting path)

Access to starting point:
A) First, we drive to Logatec, and then we continue driving towards Idrija. When we arrive in Idrija, we need to pay attention, because in the main crossroad we will leave the main road which leads towards Tolmin and turn left towards the center of the town. We park a few 100 m 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 arrive in Idrija, we need to pay attention, because in the main crossroad we will leave the main road which leads towards Logatec and turn right towards the center of the town. We park a few 100 m 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 arrive at a crossroad, where we continue left in the direction of Čekovnik and Vojsko. The road, which then starts slightly ascending, brings us only a little higher to the next crossroad. We continue in the 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 points left, and we continue right towards Vojsko. From the crossroad, we follow the road towards Vojsko another 60 m, then we turn left onto a narrow and steep road, by 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, by which we ascend to the nearby forest road.
We reach the road at a smaller chapel, by which there is also a junction of several paths. We continue right (straight along the road - forest path Pšenk), where we are immediately at the next junction.
Here we continue left uphill on a steep path with signs - hunting path (straight along the road - Hleviška planina via Kodrov rovt). The path ahead starts steeply ascending through the forest, but soon flattens. A traverse ascent towards the left follows, where after a few minutes we reach a relatively new cart track, which brings us to a junction of several cart tracks. At the mentioned junction we continue right on a wide footpath, which then moderately ascends through the forest. The path ahead leads us across a wild garlic growth and past a bench, further towards the left. Higher we reach an indistinct ridge, where the path turns somewhat to the right and stands somewhat steeper. After a shorter steep ascent we reach a poor forest road, and we follow it to the right. A little higher we join a wider macadam road, which quickly brings us to a marked junction, where the path via Kodrov rovt joins us.
Here we continue straight and continue the path along the road, which 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 good 5 minutes of further walking.
From the cottage we continue in the direction of Hleviška planina and continue the ascent on the path, which passes into the forest and starts to ascend steeply. The path ahead first leads along the edge of the ridge, then gradually passes into a smaller valley, where it also flattens and by which we ascend to the top of Hleviška planina.
From Hleviška planina we continue along the panoramic ridge, then the path turns left and starts descending steeply. When the steepness eases, an unmarked path sharply branches off to the right back towards Koča na Hleviški planini, and we continue straight and continue the path on the path, which continues along and by the ridge that connects Hleviška planina with the neighboring peak. We continue the path with some ascents and descents, mostly through the forest. The previously mentioned neighboring peak Blaškova planina, we bypass on the right side, then the path returns to the forest-covered ridge, where after further gentle descent we arrive at a marked junction.
Here we continue straight (left downhill Tratnik and Idrijske klavže) the path, which continues further through the forest, gradually passes onto a cart track. The cart track, which slowly turns more and more to the right, soon bypasses Mohoričev vrh (975 m) on the right side. On the other side of the mentioned peak the cart track widens even more and brings us to the nearby residential house, which we bypass on the right side, as the path leads us under the canopy of the nearby garage. We continue the path along the cart track, which crosses a panoramic meadow, which is located above several residential houses of the nearby hamlet. The path ahead briefly returns to the forest, then descends to the asphalt road, which we follow to the right to the nearby crossroad.
At the crossroad, by which there are information boards, we continue left in the direction of Vojsko (right Idrija) and continue the path along the asphalt road. The path ahead leads us across Kočevše, where we will be able to notice on the left side in the middle of meadows rocky loners (chunks, Trdini). We continue along the road, which passes into a strip of forest, then the road flattens again and brings us to a smaller crossroad, where the road to the nearby tourist farm Pri belem kamnu branches off to the right. Also here we continue straight and likewise in all following crossroads. The road, which occasionally continues through the forest, but mostly across extensive meadows, with views of Trnovski gozd and surrounding hills, after approximately one hour of further walking brings us to the church of St. Jožef on Vojsko, from where a nice view opens up also towards Škofjeloško and Cerkljansko hribovje and with good visibility also towards the Julian Alps.
