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.
From Hleviška planina we continue on a panoramic ridge and then the path turns left and starts descending steeply. When the steepness decreases an unmarked path back towards Koča na Hleviški planini branches off sharply to the right, and we go straight and we continue on the path which continues on and by the ridge, which connects Hleviška planina with the neighbouring peak. We continue with some ascents and descents, mostly through the forest. The before the mentioned neighbouring peak Blaškova planina, we bypass on the right side, and then the path returns on the ridge covered with a forest, where after further gentle descent, we get to a marked crossing.
Here we continue straight (left downwards - Tratnik and Idrijske klavže) and the path which still continues through the forest, gradually passes on a cart track. The cart track which is slowly turning more and more to the right, soon on the right side bypasses Mohoričev vrh (975 meters). On the other side of the mentioned summit the cart track additionally widens and it brings us to the nearby residential houses, which we bypass on the right side, because the path leads us below the projecting roof of the nearby garage. We continue on a cart track which crosses a panoramic meadow which is located above some residential houses of the nearby hamlet. The path ahead for a short time returns into the forest and then descends to an asphalt road which we follow to the right to the nearby crossroad.
At the crossroad, by which there are information boards, we continue left in the direction of Vojsko (right - Idrija) and we continue on the asphalt road. The path ahead leads us through Kočevše, where on the left side in the middle of meadows we will be able to notice rocky loners (massifs, Trdini). We continue on the road which passes into a lane of a forest and then the road again flattens and it brings us to a smaller crossroad, where the road branches off to the right towards the nearby tourist farm Pri belem kamnu. Here we continue straight as well and at all the next crossroads as well. The road which occasionally continues through the forest, and mostly through large meadows, with a view on Trnovski gozd and surrounding hills, after approximately one hour of additional walking brings us to the church of St. Jožef on Vojsko, from where a beautiful view opens up also towards Škofjeloško and Cerkljansko hribovje and in good visibility also towards the Julian Alps.
