Planina Polog - Source of Tolminka

Access to starting point:
First, we drive to Tolmin, from there we follow the road in the direction of Zatolmin (main road we leave at the traffic light). In Zatolmin we notice signposts for Javorca, which point us on an ascending road towards Javorca. Occasionally quite narrow and in parts precipitous road after approximately 8 km of driving brings us to a smaller crossroad, where the road towards Javorca branches off to the left upwards. We continue straight, and we follow the road only for approximately 100 meters and then on an appropriate place by the gate we also park.

Path description:
From the starting point, we continue on a macadam road (road is closed for public traffic), and after few minutes of easy walking it brings us to the main part of the mountain pasture, where there are few cottages. Behind the mountain pasture, the road becomes even a little worse, and after few minutes of additional walking brings us to a crossing, where the path towards the mountain pasture Planina na Prodih branches off to the right (access to the mountain pasture is very interesting, because we have to cross river Tolminka, and this is done by a manual cableway). We continue straight, and the road finally changes into a cart track and higher into a well-preserved mule track. After that, the path becomes a little steeper and past two benches and higher past a fresh rockfall (earthquake in Posočje 1998) brings us to a grazing fence, over which we step on the south edge of the mountain pasture Planina pod Osojnico. Only few meters ahead, the path splits into two parts. We continue on the right bottom path, on which in a gentle descent, we quickly get to the hunting cottage at the source of Tolminka.
