Railway station (Most na Soči) - Veliki vrh (above Lom)

Access to starting point:
The starting point is at the railway station Most na Soči in the settlement Postaja. The access is described from two directions, the third access is via Čepovan.

A) From Nova Gorica, we follow the signs for Bovec and Tolmin, we drive through Kanal and then we pay attention to the turn-off for Most na Soči in the direction of Idrija and Ljubljana). We continue driving through the village Kozaršče, in the center of Most na Soči we continue driving in the direction of Ljubljana and Idrija. After a kilometer and a half on our right we notice a bridge and the sign for Lokve, Čepovan and Postaja. We cross the bridge and near the railway station we look for a parking spot.

B) From the direction Idrija we follow the signs for Tolmin. 500 meters after the settlement Bača pri Modreju (before the settlement, a railway viaduct crosses the road) on our left, we notice a bridge and the sign for Lokve, Čepovan and Postaja. We cross the bridge and near the railway station we look for a parking spot.

Path description:
The path is well marked with signposts and is undemanding, in the first part to the hamlet Široko it is quite steep, later it flattens. It mostly runs on macadam roads and cart tracks, below the summit it short time runs on a narrower footpath. By the path there are two vantage points with panorama boards (Široko and Ledince), the peak is also panoramic.

From the railway station, we go forward on the asphalt road on the left bank of Idrijca in the direction of Čepovan, after 400 meters we follow the road into the turn under the railway bridge. After 200 meters on the right side of the road a sign at the tap with running water points us towards the vantage point Široko on a macadam road. We continue on the road to the next turn-off, where a sign points us far left. We soon start ascending, the road on the most steep parts is paved with a concrete, without problems we follow it to a hamlet Klohi. At the last house, we turn around the corner on a narrow cart track which leads through pastures and meadows, from which a view starts opening up towards Tolmin hills. After two hairpin turns we pay attention, that at the beech fence we don't continue ahead, but sharply to the right, as shows the sign.

When we get to a hamlet Široko, we can past the tourist farm go to the vantage point (50 meters from the path), otherwise we follow signposts for Ledince, Grudnica and Veliki vrh and we quickly leave the asphalt road and we turn left on a macadam forest road which for some time is still ascending, and then it gradually flattens. We leave a wide macadam road on the top of the next longer slope, where signs point us to right towards the vantage point Ledince and Veliki vrh (a sign for a shortcut).

From the vantage point, we continue on a gentle forest cart track to the next marked crossroad, where we turn slightly left upwards, the path right downwards goes in the direction of Močila na Kalu and Kanalski Lom. From here the path is well marked with signposts and blue-yellow blazes, which mark circular trail »Lom is my home«. The path goes past the abyss Brezno v Špilah a little higher from the path which is settled for sightseeing, also with the description on the info sign. The path then after few turns narrows and ascends to the border stone, and there is the next information board.

After the border stone we turn right on again a little wider path. And in a dried spruce forest, just before the clearing, we leave the path and we turn right on a narrower footpath. It brings us on an indistinct ridge, which is gently rising towards Veliki vrh. After few minutes of walking, we notice preserved position from the 1st world war, and after a short descent then follows only a short ascent to the top. Just below the summit there is also an information board with a theme of the 1st world war, and on the top there is miniature Aljaž turret with an inscription book (we can open it by lifting the cover).

We can return on the same path or we go on a little longer marked trail »Lom is my home« in the direction of Grudnica (this extends the path for 30 minutes, we join back at the vantage point Ledince). On the way back we can after the abyss turn far left towards Močilo na Kalu and on the trail »Lom is my home« in other direction we descend into Kanalski Lom and then ascend back to Široko (this extends the path for a good 1 hour and additional 200 meters of ascent) and from here we descend back into the valley.
