B) From the road Idrija - Most na Soči, at settlement Bača pri Modreju we turn right, or left, if we come from the direction of Posočje and we continue driving towards Podbrdo. When we get to Podbrdo we park on an appropriate place in the center of the settlement.

Path description:
From the starting point, we continue on the asphalt road towards Tolmin. The path which runs on the road, by which at first there isn't sidewalk, at first leads past "ženska voda", smaller source by the road. Further, we go through the underpass under the railway track, which right here comes from tunnel below Kobla. After underpass road towards the dispersed settlement Porezen branches off to the left (near the railway station (also car shuttle train)), and we still continue by the main road (we can continue also in the direction of the mentioned settlement and join a marked path a little higher).
At the crossroad is situated also NOB monument, and behind it at first the road towards Bača pri Podbrdu branches off to the right, and few steps ahead also towards Trtnik. After the turn-off for Trtnik, by the road appears sidewalk, on which we continue. On sidewalk we walk few minutes, and then at the recycling spot we continue left through a bridge over the river Bača. On the other side of the bridge we continue by torrent stream, after that cart track before the railway track turns right. A little further through the underpass we pass on the other side of the track, where we notice the first mountain signpost for Porezen. After signpost we quickly leave a little wider cart track and we continue left on a narrow cart track (turn-off isn't marked), by which we are then accompanied by at first rare blazes. Near the hunting observatory, which we notice left from the path, the path again splits, and we again continue on the left, which continues straight, because the other at the crossing turns right. The path ahead passes into the forest and leads us past a smaller boulder, which shows us, that we are on the right path. From boulder with a blaze we are short time ascending through the forest and then we reach the macadam road which we follow to the right (on this spot we join the road from the railway station in Podbrdo).
On the road in few hairpin turns we ascend below the peak Štovla, where short road towards the water facility branches off to the right, and few steps ahead also on the saddle between the peak Špičnok (1287 meters) on the left and already mentioned Štovla (749 meters) on the right.
After saddle we notice an information board, that we are entering in the settlement Porezen, and on the road we at first start descending. During the descent road leads past a natural climbing area with overhang walls and over the stream Špičnikova grapa. After the stream the road gradually flattens, then past the homestead Štefan, brings us to a smaller crossroad at the next this time the larger stream.
We continue on the right road (left homestead Matrek and Hejbl) in the direction of Porezen, and it ascends diagonally to the next crossroad, where we continue sharply left (straight homestead Andrejc, Gašper, Nejc, Torkar, Mlakar...) in the direction of the mountain hut on Porezen. We still continue on the road, by which forest is becoming thinner, or higher it is replaced by meadows, from which a nice view opens up on Spodnje Bohinjske gore, mountains above Soriška planina, and on one part also a nice view towards Porezen.
At house number Porezen 6 we leave the road and we continue left through a meadow in the direction of Porezen. Above the meadow, from which a really nice view opens up on Spodnje Bohinjske gore, the path passes into the forest and starts ascending steeply on a cart track. Cart track has higher some crossings, where we continue straight or we stick to an indistinct ridge. When a little higher cart track avoids the ridge to the left, we leave it and we continue straight upwards on a marked footpath (spot, where we leave the cart track isn't marked). The footpath soon flattens and brings us on a smaller saddle, after which crosses shorter steep slope. After the crossing, the path returns on an indistinct ridge and is moderately ascending. Next follows crossing of small clearing, and then the path starts ascending diagonally towards the left. When after few minutes ascent we reach the western ridge of Porezen, from the right joins the path from Hudajužna.
Here we continue slightly left and after few steps, we step out of the forest on the upper slope of Porezen, where we get to the next marked crossing. Here where joins the path from Otavnik or settlement Jesenica, we continue left in the direction of the mountain hut Dom na Poreznu and Petrovo Brdo (a sign otherwise points in same direction as peak Porezen, but we continue slightly more left). The path ahead leads us past lonely spruce, behind which we continue light diagonal ascent below the upper part of Porezen. A little further, we cross a grazing fence, and then with nice views on Julian Alps in few minutes of crossing, we get to the bivouac and few steps ahead to the mountain hut Dom na Poreznu (last part of the path to Dom na Poreznu is in snow dangerous for slipping).
