Spodnje Danje - Tonderškofel

Access to starting point:
A) First, we drive to Škofja Loka, and then we continue driving in the direction of Železniki and Tolmin. Few kilometers after Zali Log we get to a crossroad at Podrošt, where we continue straight in the direction of Sorica and Soriška planina (left Petrovo Brdo and Tolmin). When above Sorica from the left joins the road from Petrovo Brdo we continue right, and then towards Soriška planina we drive only to a crossroad, where roads towards Zgornje and Spodnje Danje branch off to the right. We continue on the bottom road towards Spodnje Danje. After approximately 1 km of additional driving, we get to Spodnje Danje, where there is the beginning of the described path. In the village there aren't any settled parking spots. Lately because of reconstruction of road Podrošt - Sorica, the road is often closed. In this case, we use detour, namely so that at Podrošt we continue in the direction of Tolmin, and then at the first crossroad right. On quite steep road we get to Sorica, where we join back the main road towards Soriška planina.
B) From the direction Baška grapa we drive to Petrovo Brdo, and from there we continue left towards Soriška planina. A little after we join the road from Sorica, we get to a crossroad, where roads towards Zgornje and Spodnje Danje branch off to the right. We continue on the bottom road towards Spodnje Danje. After approximately 1 km of additional driving, we get to Spodnje Danje, where there is the beginning of the described path. In the village there aren't any settled parking spots.
C) From Bohinjska Bistrica we continue driving towards Soriška planina, and from there we start descending towards Sorica. When after few kilometers of descent roads towards Zgornje and Spodnje Danje branch off to the left, we continue on the bottom road towards Spodnje Danje. After approximately 1 km of additional driving, we get to Spodnje Danje, where there is the beginning of the described path. In the village there aren't any settled parking spots.

Path description:
In the middle of the village Spodnje Danje is a crossroad, where we continue left (right church of St. Marko), after that the road immediately splits into two parts. One runs on left, and other on the right side of older house. Behind the house both roads join, and past the last house we continue straight on a cart track which starts ascending through a panoramic meadow. Meadow is slowly changed by thin forest, and at some crossings we continue straight. Higher, the path leads past two smaller boulders, and then we once again cross a grazing fence and we step on the road which leads from Sorica towards Zgornje Danje. We follow the mentioned road to the left (right Zgornje Danje), and from there already after few steps we go right on a cart track which passes into the forest. In the forest, at the first crossing we go left and then about a minute or two higher we join the cart track which leads from Rotek. When we reach the mentioned cart track we go sharply right, and then we start ascending diagonally towards the right on increasingly steep slope. Further, the cart track is turning more and more to the left, then quickly passes into a smaller valley, through which we reach the forest road which leads from Soriška planina towards Valantov rob.
Further, the cart track is turning more and more to the left, then quickly passes into a smaller valley, through which we reach the forest road which leads from Soriška planina towards Valantov rob.
When we reach the road, we follow it to the left, and there we start at first gently, and then moderately ascending. After a longer left turn the road for some time becomes straight. At the beginning of right hairpin turn in the direction of straight cart track branches off, on which we continue. A little further, on a smaller broad ridge an overgrown cart track branches off to the right, which leads towards the summit Tonderškofel, and in the direction of straight the cart track continues towards the summit Erbelc.
We continue right on at first quite overgrown cart track, and then the cart track turns left and becomes less overgrown. Next follows a semicircular ascent and the cart track brings us below the peak of Tonderškofel, which we reach after few steps of pathless terrain.
