Access to starting point:
A) First, we drive to Logatec, and then we continue driving towards Idrija. When we get to Idrija we need to pay attention, because we will in the main crossroad leave the main road which leads towards Tolmin and we will turn left towards the center of the town. We park few 100 meters ahead on the settled parking lot next to the main bus station.
B) From Most na Soči or Podbrdo we drive to Bača pri Modreju, and then we continue driving towards Idrija. When we get to Idrija we need to pay attention, because we will in the main crossroad leave the main road which leads towards Logatec and we will turn right towards the center of the town. We park few 100 meters ahead on the settled parking lot next to the main bus station.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue by the road which continues through the center of Idrija. After a short walk through the town, we get to a crossroad, where we continue left in the direction of Čekovnik and Vojsko. The road which then starts slightly ascending, only a little higher brings us to the next crossroad. We continue in an already known direction towards Čekovnik and Vojsko, and even a little steeper road we follow to the next crossroad, by which we notice signs for Hleviška planina.
Here the road sign for Hleviška planina is pointing left, and we continue right towards Vojsko. From the crossroad, we follow the road towards Vojsko 60 more meters and then we turn left on a narrow and steep road, on which we quickly ascend above Idrija. At the last houses at street Čopičeva ulica a nice view opens up on a larger part of the town, and the road changes into a cart track, on which we ascend to the nearby forest road.
We reach the road at the smaller chapel, by which there is also a crossing of multiple paths. We continue right (straight on the road - forest path Pšenk), where we are immediately at the next crossing. We still continue on the road (left uphill - hunting path on Hleviška planina), which is in the winter time converted into a sledding track. The road which is moderately ascending mostly through the forest, we follow to its end, and then we continue a little right on a marked mountain path. The path ahead is for some time moderately ascending through the forest and then it brings us on a ridge, where it gradually starts ascending steeper. The path which continues on a vegetated ridge, higher brings us on an indistinct peak Kodrov rovt, from which follows a short descent to the near forest road. We continue on the road straight, and there we quickly get to a marked crossing, where we continue right in the direction of the cottage Koča na Hleviški planini (left downwards - Pšenk and Idrija) and we continue on the road which is closed for public traffic. This road which soon comes out of the forest, we follow all the way to the cottage Koča na Hleviški planini, which we reach after good 5 minutes of additional walking.
From the cottage, we go in the direction of Hleviška planina and we continue the ascent on the path which passes into the forest and starts ascending steeply. The path ahead at first leads by the edge of the ridge and then it gradually passes into a smaller valley, where it also flattens and on which we ascend to the top of Hleviška planina.
On the way: Kodrov rovt (720m), Koča na Hleviški planini (818m)
