Podkraj - Sveti Duh (Hrušica)

Access to starting point:
From Logatec we drive towards Idrija. Only a little after the village Kalce we will notice a road which goes left in the direction of the village Podkraj and Col. We turn onto this quite winding road and follow it to the village Podkraj. We park on a smaller parking lot by the road right next to the sign for the end of the village Podkraj (by the parking lot there are also hiking signposts).
From Primorska we first drive to Col, and then we continue driving in the direction of the village Podkraj. When the road brings us to the beginning of the village we don't continue right into the village, but we continue on the left upper road which bypasses the center of the village. Near the sign for the beginning of Podkraj we park on a smaller parking lot by the road.

Route description:
From the starting point, we go on an ascending cart track in the direction of Sveti Duh and Javornik. The cart track already after a few steps turns to the right and then ascends diagonally through a grassy slope. Higher, we pass into a short stretch of forest, after which the path brings us to a marked junction.
We continue left (right Javornik) on a gentle path, which crosses slopes towards Križna gora, which we clearly see in front of us. The well-marked path continues on a cart track, from which soon to the right branches off a pretty steep path for a short time. Higher, the path passes into the forest, where it ascends diagonally towards the northwest. When we step out of the forest, the path turns a little more to the right and with the help of a steel cable (undemanding) brings us to the next junction.
We continue straight upwards in the direction of Sveti Duh (not left in the direction of Križna gora) on the path which for a short time steeply ascends, then leads us into the forest, where it flattens. After a few minutes of additional walking, the path brings us to a marked junction, where we continue sharply right (left Križna gora) on a cart track which in a diagonal ascent and moderate steepness after 10 minutes of additional walking brings us to the church of Sveti Duh.

The trip can be extended to the following destinations: Srednja gora (Hrušica) ( 30 min)
