Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we go to the exit Lesce and follow the road towards Bled and forward towards Bohinjska Bistrica. From Bohinjska Bistrica we continue left in the direction of Tolmin and Soriška planina. We follow this road to a large parking lot near the ski center Soriška planina.
From Železniki we drive towards Podbrdo or vice versa, but only to a spot, where signs for Soriška planina point us on an ascending road. We follow this road to a large parking lot by the foot of the ski slope Soriška planina.
Path description:
From the parking lot on Bohinjsko sedlo we go on a macadam road in the direction of the mountain hut Litostrojska koča on Soriška planina. After less than 5 minutes of a light ascent, we get to the mentioned mountain hut from which a view opens up on the nearby grassy slopes of surrounding peaks.
From the mountain hut, we continue on a marked path in the direction of Šavnik, Možic and Lajnar. After few 10 strides of walking, we come on a less noticeable crossing, where the path branches off slightly to the right towards Možic (caption on a tree, straight Lajnar). We go on the mentioned path, which is further gently ascending by the edge of grassy slopes of Soriška planina. A little higher, the marked path turns to the right and starts ascending steeper through a lane of thin forest and bushes. The path soon leaves the forest and brings us into a smaller valley, by the edge of which we then ascend to an old military barracks (barracks converted into sheep stable, by which there is smaller shepherd cabin).
From barracks past a smaller chapel we ascend on an indistinct ridge, where from the left side joins the path from Lajnar. We continue straight downwards (left on a grassy ridge peak Slatna 5 minutes) on the path which starts descending towards a smaller saddle, where there is the next crossing.
We continue straight (left downwards Šavnik) on an old military mule track, that starts slightly ascending. This pleasant path we then follow all the way to the top of Možic, and we reach it after few minutes of additional walking.
