Path description:
From the center of Poče we continue left in the direction of Porezen (right Porezen over Labinjske lehe), where we at first walk past few houses, and then the asphalt ends, and we continue on a macadam road. The road little ahead gets closer to another house, and still before the house (turn-off of the path is at the hayrack) we continue left on the path which ascends through meadow to few minutes distant forest road. When we reach the road, we follow it to the left, and we walk there in the direction of Porezen. Occasionally a view opens up a little on Cerkljansko hribovje, and then we already get to a smaller crossroad, from where we continue straight on a footpath which continues between the both roads. After a short ascent, we return on the right branch of the road which is more and more similar to the cart track (expansion of cart track 2014). The path ahead leads us past a smaller waterfall, and then we get to a partly marked crossing, where signs for Porezen point us sharply right.
Here we continue straight (sharply right Porezen - steep path) and we still continue on a relatively wide cart track which is ascending diagonally over occasionally steeper slopes. Cart track little ahead ends, and the path after older, partly stone cottage changes into a footpath which is ascending diagonally above the gully of the stream Zapoška. During the ascent, we can also notice signs, that we walk on the Slovenian geological trail. A little further, the path turns slightly to the right and it ascends diagonally through steep and mainly in wet for slipping dangerous slopes. The path further crosses some gullies, among other things leads us also past a turn-off of the path towards drinking water. Next follows a little clumsy crossing of grassy groove, because erosion swept away grass or short part of the path, so that at the crossing some caution is needed, otherwise passage isn't too hard, because it is not a very steep slope. A little further, the path turns right and once again, this time without problems crosses now already widened groove. Marked, but because of high grass further a little hard to follow path, is then in few hairpin turns relatively steeply ascending towards the ridge of Porezen. During the ascent path leads also past a smaller source, and then we soon reach the ridge, where we join the steep path from Cerkno and Poče and also some other paths, which lead to the summit.
When we reach at first still indistinct ridge we continue left, and after few 10 strides, we get to a smaller crossing, where the path splits into two parts. More beaten is "steep path", which continues on a ridge and we continue right in the direction of Davča and after a minute of additional walking, we step on the road which leads towards the mountain hut Dom na Poreznu (here officially paths are not seperated to steep and gentle path from Poče anymore, but if we decided for gentle path we can also on this part continue on "gentle path" (otherwise if we continue on the ridge we will at first come to the summit of Porezen and from there to hut)).
When we step on the road path leads through a lane of a forest and then we gradually get to open slopes, from which a nice view opens up towards Blegoš, Kamnik Savinja Alps and Karawanks. When few minutes higher, we reach northeastern ridge of Porezen, from the right joins also the marked path from Petrovo Brdo. Here we continue left and with a view on Julian Alps, mainly on the ridge of Spodnje Bohinjske gore, in few 10 strides of additional walking, we get to the mountain hut Dom na Poreznu.
