Podbrdo - Dom na Poreznu

Access to starting point:
A) First, we drive to Škofja Loka, then we continue driving towards Železniki, Podbrdo and Tolmin. When we arrive in Podbrdo, we park at an appropriate place in the center of the settlement.
B) From the road Idrija - Most na Soči, at the settlement Bača pri Modreju we turn right, or left if coming from the direction of Posočje, and continue driving towards Podbrdo. When we arrive in Podbrdo, we park at 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 along the road along which there is initially no sidewalk, first leads past "ženska voda", a smaller spring beside the road. Further, we go through the underpass under the railway track, which just here comes out of the tunnel below Kobla. After the underpass, the road towards the dispersed settlement Porezen branches off to the left (near the railway station (also car-train)), and we continue along the main road (we can also continue in the direction of the mentioned settlement and join the marked path somewhat higher).
At the intersection there is also a NOB monument, behind it first the road towards Bača pri Podbrdu branches off to the right, a few steps ahead also towards Trtnik. After the turn-off for Trtnik, a sidewalk appears along the road, which we continue on. We walk on the sidewalk for a few minutes, then at the ecological island we continue left across the bridge over the river Bača. On the other side of the bridge we continue along the torrent stream, then the cart track before the railway track turns right. A little further through the underpass we pass to the other side of the track, where we notice the first mountain signpost for Porezen. After the signpost we quickly leave the somewhat wider cart track and continue left onto the narrower cart track (the turn-off is not marked), beside which we are then accompanied by initially rare blazes. Near the hunting observatory, which we notice to the left of the path, the path splits again, and we again continue on the left one, which goes straight ahead, as the other turns right at the fork. The path ahead passes into the forest and leads us past a smaller boulder, which tells us that we are on the right path. From the boulder with a blaze we ascend briefly through the forest, then reach the macadam road, which we follow to the right (at this spot we join the road from the railway station in Podbrdo).
On the road in a few hairpin turns we ascend below the summit of Štovla, where a short road to the protected water facility branches off to the right, a few steps ahead also to the saddle between the summit Špičnok (1287 m) on the left and the already mentioned Štovla (749 m) on the right.
After the saddle we notice an information board that we are entering the settlement Porezen, and we first begin to descend on the road. During the descent the road leads us past a natural climbing area with overhanging walls and across the stream Špičnikova grapa. After the stream the road gradually flattens, then past the homestead Štefan brings us to a smaller intersection by the next, this time larger stream.
We continue on the right road (left to homesteads Matrek and Hejbl) in the direction of Porezen, which ascends transversely to the next intersection, where we continue sharply left (straight to homesteads Andrejc, Gašper, Nejc, Torkar, Mlakar...) in the direction of the hut on Porezen. We continue walking along the road, beside which the forest becomes ever sparser, or higher replaced by hay meadows, from which a nice view opens onto Spodnje Bohinjske gore, the mountains above Soriška planina, and in one part also a nice view onto Porezen.
At house no. Porezen 6 we leave the road and continue left across the meadow in the direction of Porezen. Above the meadow, from which a really nice view onto Spodnje Bohinjske gore opens, the path passes into the forest and begins to ascend steeply along the cart track. The cart track has several forks higher up, where we continue straight or keep to the indistinct ridge. When somewhat higher the cart track leaves the ridge to the left, we leave it and continue straight upward onto the marked footpath (the place where we leave the cart track is not marked). The footpath soon flattens and brings us to a smaller col, after which it crosses a shorter steep slope. After the crossing the path returns to the indistinct ridge and ascends moderately. Next comes the crossing of a small clearing, then the path begins to ascend transversely to the left. When after a few minutes of ascent we reach the western ridge of Porezen, the path from Hudajužna joins us from the right.
Here we continue slightly left and after a few steps step out of the forest onto the summit slope of Porezen, where we arrive at the next marked junction. Here, where the path from Otavnik or the settlement Jesenica also joins us, we continue left in the direction of Dom na Poreznu and Petrovo Brdo (the sign otherwise points in the same direction as the summit of Porezen, but we continue slightly more to the left). The path ahead leads us past a solitary spruce, after which we continue a gentle transverse ascent below the summit part of Porezen. Somewhat further we cross a pasture fence, then with nice views onto the Julian Alps in a few minutes of crossing we arrive at the bivouac and a few steps further to the Mountain Hut Dom na Poreznu (the last part of the path to Dom na Poreznu is dangerous for slipping in snow).
