Planina Polog - Planina Medrja

Access to the starting point:
First, go to Tolmin, and from there follow the road in the direction of Zatolmin (leave the main road at the traffic lights). In Zatolmin, you will see the mountain signs for Javorca, which will direct you to the ascending road towards Javorca. After about 8 km of driving, the sometimes quite narrow and sometimes precipitous road leads us to a small crossroads where the road to Javorca branches off to the left upwards. Turn left here and follow the road for another 100 m to a marked parking area.

Path description:
From the parking lot, continue along the paved road, which quickly enters the forest and starts to climb steeply. After about 15 minutes of walking, the forest thins out and the road turns sharp right. A few minutes of walking along the edge of the pastures and the road leads to the Church of the Holy Spirit in Javorca.
Go around the church on the left and continue along the wide and at first winding cart track, which quickly turns into a forest. Here, the roar of the waterfall of the Peščak stream can be heard below us on the left, and we continue along the marked path (kolovoz), which crosses the aforementioned stream higher up via a bridge. We continue up a moderately steep track, which continues partly through the forest and partly through dense bushes and brambles. Higher up, we cross another of the numerous grazing fences and the path leads us to mountain pasture Črč, on which there are a few old huts.
Just before the huts on mountain pasture, the markers for mountain pasture Sleme, Medrje and Laška seč direct us slightly to the left, where we climb through tall grasses to an indistinct ridge along which a grazing fence runs. Continue climbing along the grazing fence, then the path enters a dense forest, where it climbs steeply for a short distance to a water trough. Here the path turns slightly to the right, where after a few 10 steps it leads to the next pasture fence. Cross the grazing fence and walk to the huts at mountain pasture Laška seč.
Above mountain pasture the path goes into the wods and continues along a wide track. A little higher up, we come out of the forest, and just a few metres after crossing a pasture fence, we continue left along a less visible and poorly marked path. The path joins the track higher up and leads us only a few metres further to the shepherd's hut at mountain pasture Medrja.
