Path description:
From the starting point, we continue on the macadam road which leads us through the underpass under the railway track, and immediately after the underpass slightly to the left a footpath on Porezen branches off. Here we can continue left in the direction of Porezen and to the homestead Rore we ascend on usually a quite an overgrown path, or we continue on a gently sloping road, from which we go a little ahead left on the road, by which there is a sign for dead-end street (straight driving road towards Zakojca) and we ascend there to the homestead Rore.
At the homestead there is a marked crossing, and we continue right in the direction of Zakojca (left Porezen) and on a little worse road we descend to the stream Porezen, over a small rocky bridge we cross it, and then we return back on a driving road towards Zakojca. We continue the ascent on a quite nice macadam road, from which occasional views opening up on part of Spodnje Bohinjske gore. Higher, the path leads us among pastures and meadows, and then past the road sign, which marks the beginning of the settlement Zakojca. After the sign, the path leads also past a cross and some houses, and then on the left we already notice homestead Bevkova domačija, which we can visit every day, and you can get the keys in Zakojca at the tourist farm Pri Flandru.
We bypass the homestead on the right side, and then we go left on a footpath in the direction of Zakojca. Further, we are accompanied by signs and rare blazes, which were gone since the homestead Rore, and through pastures we get to the previously mentioned tourist farm, where we also reach an asphalt road.
We follow the road to the left, and it leads us past NOB monument, and we leave it at the transformer, where we go right on a cart track (the turn-off isn't marked). When after few steps, the cart track becomes grassy and passes on grazing meadows, we notice a blaze, which confirms that we are on the right path. Next follows an ascent on the upper edge of the pasture, from where when we look back a nice view opens up on Zakojca and chain of Spodnje Bohinjske gore, and blazes still before the hunting observatory point us to the left on a cart track which ascends diagonally towards the left. Higher, the footpath which partly still runs on cart tracks, occasionally vanishes, and we follow the blazes which eventually lead into a dense forest, where we finally leave the cart track. Next follows a steep ascent through the forest, where by the poorly beaten path, we follow quite frequent blazes. Higher from the right side almost unnoticeably a worse footpath joins, which at an altitude around 1100 meters entirely circles Kojca, and here our path turns left and entirely flattens.
Next follows few minutes of crossing, and then we get to a crossing, where we join a better beaten path from Jesenica and Orehek. Next follows some of a moderate ascent, and then also the path from Reka and the second path from Orehek join, and in the same direction continues also the path which circles Kojca.
The path ahead again starts ascending steeper and with occasional views continues on the eastern ridge of Kojca. Few minutes we are still ascending through the forest and then the forest ends, and the path flattens and to the top with the famous pile of hay, we have only few minutes of walking.
