Preval Hlevišče - Koprivnik (via Brdo)

Access to starting point:
We drive to Poljane nad Škofjo Loko, from where at the traffic-light crossroads we continue in the direction of the settlement Javorje. When we arrive in Javorje, from the crossroads by the inn Gostilna Blegoš we continue left towards Blegoš and Stari vrh, and at the following crossroads we follow the signs for Blegoš. When we arrive at the saddle Hlevišče, which we recognize by the road that branches off to the left towards the church of the Assumption of Mary on Gora, we park at a suitable spot at the crossroads.

Route description:
From the starting point, we head onto the road that branches off from the saddle towards the northeast and starts to ascend. We quickly arrive at a smaller crossroads, where we go left, then in two hairpin turns we ascend to the nearby homestead, which we bypass on the right side, where we go on a cart track. When the cart track a little higher turns left, we go straight onto a grassy cart track, on it a little higher we join a wider cart track, which brings us from the forest onto a panoramic hayfield, from which a nice view opens up on Mladi vrh and Stari vrh. Higher we also go past the hunting observation post, then we join the path that starts at POŠ Javorje, and we continue straight into the forest, where the path splits.
Slightly to the left continues the path Med gorami and the path to Koprivnik, slightly to the right leads the path to Mladi vrh.
We continue slightly left and continue with the path on a poorer macadam road, which for some time continues without major changes in elevation. A little further we continue slightly left, when the road starts to ascend then at the marked junction we continue on the road in the direction of Koprivnik (left Pot med gorami). After the junction the road turns right and then ascends transversely to the saddle Brdo, where there is a marked junction.
We continue on the left road in the direction of Koprivnik (straight the road by which we can descend into Selška dolina or arrive at Zapreval, right on the marked path Mladi vrh), on it we walk to the place where the signs for Koprivnik direct us right onto a footpath, which starts ascending through the forest. The path further leads us on cart tracks, where at junctions we follow the blazes, higher from a few clearings a nice view opens up on the neighbouring Mladi vrh. For some time we still walk on a relatively well-marked cart track, then it changes into a footpath, which through the last meadow takes us into the forest and a little further to the summit of Koprivnik.
