Access to starting point:
A) First, we drive to Idrija, and then we continue driving towards Tolmin. When we get to the settlement Straža, more precisely when we notice traffic light at the crossroad, where the road to Cerkno branches off to the right, only few meters before the crossroad we turn left through a bridge over the river Idrijca on the road in the direction of village Jagršče. We can park right behind the bridge or higher on an appropriate place by the road.
B) From Most na Soči or Podbrdo we drive to the settlement Bača pri Modreju, and then we continue driving towards Idrija. Only few meters after the crossroad, where from the left joins the road from Cerkno, we turn right in the direction of village Jagršče. We can park right behind the bridge or higher on an appropriate place by the road.
Path description:
We continue on the road which at first runs parallel with the river Idrijca and then leads us past few houses. The road turns a little to the right and we continue by following the signs for »Jagršče«. Asphalt road is then for quite some time in zig-zags ascending through the forest. Higher increasingly beautiful views starting to open up and the road brings us also out of the forest. A short ascent follows on a panoramic road to the church in the village Jagršče.
At the crossroad at the church, we continue left and the road which is slightly ascending brings us into the forest. In the forest asphalt quickly ends and we soon get to a marked crossing. Left leads a marked path towards the summit Jelenk, and we continue on the road which further descends a little. When we come out of the forest a view towards the summit Vrhovec opens up, which is still quite far. The road then soon stops descending and turns a little to the right. Further, we for quite some time still walk on the macadam road and the path leads us past few farms. At the crossings, we stick to the main road and follow the signs for a cycling path. Later, the road again starts descending a little and it brings us to a marked crossroad in the forest. Right downwards leads the road towards the village Šebrelje, and we continue left upwards.
The road for some time leads through the forest and then we come on a saddle where we will on the left side of the road notice a chapel.
On the saddle, we leave the main road and we continue slightly to the right on a narrow cart track which leads on the left side of the house. Cart track ascends through the forest and brings us on grassy slopes. We still follow the cart track which is ascending in zig-zags on grassy slopes. A little below the top cart track ends and then follows an ascent on a grassy slope towards the summit, which we already see in front of us. For orientation we also get help from a big sign, which is situated on the top of the hill.
On the way: Jagršče (663m)
