Access to starting point:
On the road from Radmirje or over Kranjski rak we go towards Logarska dolina and a good kilometer ahead from Solčava we stop at the inn Firšt. For the parking it is good to ask someone. In the inn there is an interesting museum about Potočka zijalka. We can also park right 200 meters higher in the forest at the end of the macadam road.
Path description:
From the inn Firšt and to the farm Rogar the path leads us on a forested cart track. A kilometer above Firšt this cart track splits to the left and straight. The correct path is left. Higher, we come on a smaller clearing with some old buildings. The path then again a short time leads through the forest. In the upper part of meadows at Sveti duh we cross a panorama road and we continue towards the farm Rogar, from which we then continue left on a cart track which starts ascending through the forest. Cart track soon passes into a footpath which brings us to the national border with Austria. After that, the path runs by the border and it brings us to a crossing. The left path leads in Austria and we go right following the signs Potočka Zijalka. From the crossroad follows only 10 more minutes of a steep ascent and we are already at karst cave named Potočka Zijalka.
The path further starts again ascending and it brings us to the next crossing. The left path runs on Obel kamen (1911 meters), and we go right on the path towards Govca, which is the highest peak of Olševa. Next follows a crossing of the steep slopes below Olševa. This part of the path is slightly exposed and we also get help from some fixed safety gear. The path then turns to the left, where joins the path over Obel kamen and to the top follows only few minutes of a steep ascent.
At the descent, we can go over Obel kamen. The path because of this isn't much longer and it has even a better view.
