Access to starting point:
From Železniki we drive towards Soriška planina. At the crossroad at Zgornja Sorica we continue left in the direction of Petrovo Brdo and Tolmin and then after 50 meters we park on an appropriate place by the next crossroad.
From Podbrdo we drive towards Železniki, but only to the village Petrovo Brdo, where we continue left in the direction of Soriška planina. We follow this road to Zgornja Sorica, where we park only about 50 meters before the crossroad, where the road towards Železniki branches off to the right downwards.
Possible is also access from Bohinj side.
Path description:
From the starting point, we go on an ascending macadam road, and only after few steps it brings us to a crossroad. We continue on a little steeper cart track which ascends between the both roads (right road leads towards the nearby quarry). At first relatively steep cart track soon flattens and over a panoramic slope (a look on Sorica) brings us to the spot, where we step on a marked path (to here possible also on a marked path which starts right at the crossroad, but ascent there because of the overgrowth I don't recommend).
We continue the ascent on a well-marked footpath which higher gets very close to the road on Soriška planina.
We continue straight in the direction of Lajnar (right on the road Soriška planina) on the path which is becoming more overgrown. Still well-marked path, which is ascending on slopes of Dravh, higher brings us to the edge of the forest, where we notice decaying shepherd hut.
Ahead footpath passes out of the forest on very overgrown grassy slope (blazes also become more rare) on which we are ascending on barely visible path. An overgrown path in the upper part crosses some in wet for slipping dangerous slopes, and then it brings us on the main ridge, where ends overgrowth.
We continue left (right Dravh 10 min) on the path which slightly descends and brings us on the saddle between Dravh and Lajnar. Here we cross a grazing fence and then we continue the ascent on a ski track. When we are almost on the summit, we leave mentioned track and we continue slightly left on a pleasant footpath, on which in few 10 strides of additional walking, we ascend to the summit.
Trip can be extended to: Dravh
