Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Koper we go to the exit Logatec and then we continue driving towards Idrija. In the settlement Hotedršica, only few 10 meters after a smaller bridge we continue right (not immediately behind the bridge), where we will by the road notice an information board "po poteh dediščine, od Idrijce do Kolpe" (on heritage trails, from Idrijca to Kolpa). We continue driving in the direction of Žejna Dolina, and we follow the road few 100 meters to a smaller crossroad near of which we park on an appropriate place by the road.
To the starting point, we can also come from the direction of Col and Idrija. In this case, we at first drive in Godovič and then we continue driving towards Logatec. When we come to Hotedršica we continue left. Further, we follow the description above.

Path description:
From the spot, where we've parked, we continue on the bottom road, and it continues along the stream Željska voda. After few minutes, we get to a little bigger crossroad, where we go slightly left and we still continue on the road which is almost unnoticeably ascending by the already mentioned stream, which a little further we also cross. The road then continues through a larger meadow, and then it brings us to the edge of the forest, where we continue left. The road then starts considerably ascending and past an old border stone, which marks old Rapallo border between Italy and Yugoslavia, brings us to a lonely house, behind which, the path passes into a more dense forest.
We follow the road ahead only few 10 strides, and then blazes point us right on a cart track which starts moderately ascending through the forest. Cart track higher turns a little towards the left, where it brings us out of the forest on panoramic grassy slopes. Here the path again flattens, and after few minutes of easy walking it brings us to a lonely farm, where we again step on the road. We follow the mentioned road to the right, and it quickly brings us to the left turn, after which we notice signs, which point us on an ascending cart track. We continue the ascent on a very panoramic grassy slope, on which we continue all the way to the church of St. Katarina on Medvedje Brdo. We continue on the asphalt road which leads us past the cottage Dom Medved, and we follow it few minutes to a smaller crossroad, where we continue sharply right. Next follows only few minutes of walking and the path brings us on Šinkovcov grič, on which there is a panorama board.
From the top, we return to the asphalt road, and then at the last crossroad, we continue straight. Next follows a short descent to a crossroad at the chapel, where we continue left. We continue on a little wider road which leads us past the fire station, and behind it with nice views, we quickly reach the next crossroad, where we continue right in the direction of Zavratec and Vrh Svetih Treh Kraljev. The path ahead leads us on a macadam road which soon splits into two parts.
The marked path towards Vrh Svetih Treh Kraljev continues on the right road, and we continue on the left road in the direction of village Zavratec and Potok. Next follows few minutes of a little steeper descent, and then we reach the village Potok, where the road again becomes asphalted. In the village, the road entirely flattens, and it leads us past few houses and mainly through meadows. On the other side of the village, the road passes into the forest, where it is for a short time descending gently by the nearby small stream and then before the lonely house it starts ascending. When few minutes higher, the road flattens, we get to the sports field, and few 10 strides ahead also in the village Zavratec. A short descent follows and the road brings us to the church of St. Urh in Zavratec.
