Raspet - Porezen (on ridge of Cimprovka)

Access to starting point:
A) First, we drive to Škofja Loka, then continue driving towards Železniki and Podbrdo. After Železniki, or just before the start of Zalega Loga, the signs for Davča and the ski center Cerkno direct us left onto the road that begins to ascend along the Davča River. We always follow this road, which higher up has quite a few intersections, towards the ski center Cerkno. When we arrive at the mentioned ski center, we continue driving another few hundred meters to the large macadam parking lot Tuškov Grič. Here, we turn sharply right onto the road towards Davški slapovi waterfalls, Porezen, and sport fishing. The road ahead ascends moderately, then flattens out and leads us for some time across panoramic meadows. A short descent follows, then a crossing to the intersection at Razpotje (1068 m), where we park at a smaller parking lot next to the information boards.
B) From Bohinjska Bistrica or Podbrdo, we first drive into the valley of the Selška Sora River, then at the intersection after the end of the settlement Zali Log, we turn right towards Davča and continue on the road that begins to ascend along the Davča River. We always follow this road, which higher up has quite a few intersections, towards the ski center Cerkno. When we arrive at the mentioned ski center, we continue driving another few hundred meters to the large macadam parking lot Tuškov Grič. Here, we turn sharply right onto the road towards Davški slapovi waterfalls, Porezen, and sport fishing. The road ahead ascends moderately, then flattens out and leads us for some time across panoramic meadows. A short descent follows, then a crossing to the intersection at Razpotje (1068 m), where we park at a smaller parking lot next to the information boards.
C) From Poljanska dolina, we first drive to Hotavlje, then continue towards the ski center Cerkno. We then drive through the villages of Kopačnica, Leskovica, and Robidnica. After passing all the mentioned villages, we reach the large parking lot Počivalo (parking lot at the ski center Cerkno), behind which the road begins to descend. After a short descent, we reach the next intersection, where we continue right (left downhill to Cerkno). We continue on the road that ascends transversely, quickly reaching the parking lot Tuškov Grič. Here, we continue slightly left onto the road towards Davški slapovi waterfalls, Porezen, and sport fishing. The road ahead ascends moderately, then flattens out and leads us for some time across panoramic meadows. A short descent follows, then a crossing to the intersection at Razpotje (1068 m), where we park at a smaller parking lot next to the information boards.
D) From the Idrija–Tolmin road, we head towards Cerkno, then continue towards the ski center Cerkno. Higher up, we reach an intersection where the road to the nearby parking lot Počivalo branches right; we continue left towards Davča. A short transverse ascent follows, and the road takes us to the parking lot Tuškov Grič. Here, we continue slightly left onto the road towards Davški slapovi waterfalls, Porezen, and sport fishing. The road ahead ascends moderately, then flattens out and leads us for some time across panoramic meadows. A short descent follows, then a crossing to the intersection at Razpotje (1068 m), where we park at a smaller parking lot next to the information boards.

Route description:
From the parking lot, we head onto the cart track towards Kope. The cart track, which continues over a larger grassy slope from which a nice view opens onto the Cimprovka ridge with Kopa, first descends gently, then enters the forest where it first crosses a small spring, then begins to ascend more steeply. The path, which is not marked with Knafelc blazes but with smaller wooden signposts on which a ski loop is drawn, ascends relatively steeply for some time, then takes us to a poorly marked junction where we continue on the upper right cart track, which after a few minutes of further ascent brings us to the saddle between Črtov rob and Prvič.
Here, where we approach very closely to the forest road leading to Porezen, we continue slightly left and continue the ascent towards Kopa and also Porezen. We continue on the wide cart track, which gradually narrows and higher up turns into a pleasant mountain path, on which we quickly ascend to the next saddle.
From the panoramic saddle, we continue slightly right into the forest and follow the Cimprovka ridge. The already occasionally sparse forest soon thins out even more, and the relatively panoramic path quickly brings us to a marked junction, where we continue right towards Porezen (left to Kopa 3 minutes).
The path ahead begins to descend steeply over a panoramic grassy slope, then gradually flattens and takes us to a larger meadow and the Vrše saddle, where it again approaches the road closely. We continue parallel to the road (the signs for Porezen otherwise direct us onto the road) and proceed with a moderate ascent through sparse forest. Higher up, the forest ends, and the path continues parallel to the road for some 10 m. When the road makes a right turn, the signpost for Porezen directs us left onto a gradually steeper slope, over which we mainly descend gently. Somewhat lower, the path from Franja Hospital joins from the left; we continue straight and descend to the Velbnik saddle. Here, a nice view opens to the left, and we continue along the marked path in the already familiar direction. The path further bypasses the Brdce peak on its left western side and joins the path from the village Poče behind it.
Here, we continue straight on the path, which for some time runs parallel to the road, then head onto the panoramic Porezen ridge (if we continue on the road, we will first reach Dom na Poreznu – possible loop trail). We follow the increasingly panoramic ridge path all the way to the summit of Porezen, which we reach after about 20 minutes of further walking.

Along the route: Vrše (1300m), Velbnik (1331m)

The trip can be extended to the following destinations: Dom na Poreznu
