Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we go to the exit Lesce and follow the road towards Bled and forward towards Bohinjska Bistrica. From Bohinjska Bistrica we continue left in the direction of Tolmin and Soriška planina. We follow this road to a large parking lot near the ski center Soriška planina.
From Železniki we drive towards Podbrdo or vice versa, but only to a spot, where signs for Soriška planina point us on an ascending road. We follow this road to a large parking lot by the foot of the ski slope Soriška planina.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we go on a macadam road which in five minutes brings us to the mountain hut on Soriška planina.
From the mountain hut, we continue below the ski lift, where runs marked path. The path then through meadows in 25 minutes brings us to the ridge on which there is a fence and a crossing. We continue right (left Lajnar) on the path which splits into two parts. Ahead we can continue on "south path", which is marked or on "northern path", which isn't marked. The path which each on its side bypassed Mali Slatnik (1600 meters) after 10 minutes join and then turn a little to the right. The path ahead in a semicircle circles a little larger sinkhole and then it brings us to an old military barracks, by which we also notice a smaller chapel.
We continue towards the west and the path already after few steps it brings us on an indistinct, but panoramic ridge. Further, the path slightly descends and in few minutes brings us to a crossing.
We continue left downwards (slightly right Možic 10 minutes) on the path, that at first starts slightly, after that more and more descending. After 15 minutes of descent through the forest, the path brings us into grassy small valley, where we continue left towards the hunting observatory. Near the hunting observatory is a crossing, where we go slightly right in the direction of Šavnik (left Vrh Bače, sharply right mountain pasture Planina za Šavnikom) on the path which goes in a lane of a forest and ascends a little steeper. When we come out of the forest follows a shorter ascent on a wide and more and more panoramic ridge, which we follow to the top.
