Access to starting point:
From Logatec we drive towards Tolmin or vice versa. When we come to Idrija we turn left (from the direction Logatec - Tolmin) towards the center. In the middle of Idrija we turn left in the direction of Vojsko and we follow the road to the next crossroad, where we continue left in the direction of Hleviška planina. The road higher brings us to a smaller crossroad and mountain signposts. We park on a parking lot by the road near this crossroad named Pri Babi.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue on the path in the direction of "Spomenik sanitetne postaje" (medical station monument). And a wide path already after few minutes brings us to a crossing, where we continue straight upwards on the path which ascends steeply (right NOB monument). After few minutes, the steepness decreases and the path few times descends and again ascends. After the last descent, the path brings us on a wide cart track which we follow to the left and after few steps immediately right. The path ahead brings us to a larger parking lot in front of scout hut Pšenk (to here possible also with a car). From the hut, we continue on the path which crosses a smaller bridge and then it ascends by the stream. The path then goes past a source and a little ahead brings us on the forest road which we follow to the right. The road ahead runs past another smaller crossroad, where we continue straight. And only a little ahead we leave the road because a poorly marked path goes left upwards. After few minutes, we again come on the road which we then follow to the cottage on Hleviška planina.
From the cottage, we go in the direction of Hleviška planina and we continue the ascent on the path which passes into the forest and starts ascending steeply. The path ahead at first leads by the edge of the ridge and then it gradually passes into a smaller valley, where it also flattens and on which we ascend to the top of Hleviška planina.
From Hleviška planina we continue on a panoramic ridge and then the path turns left and starts descending steeply. When the steepness decreases an unmarked path back towards Koča na Hleviški planini branches off sharply to the right, and we go straight and we continue on the path which continues on and by the ridge, which connects Hleviška planina with the neighbouring peak. We continue with some ascents and descents, mostly through the forest. The before the mentioned neighbouring peak Blaškova planina, we bypass on the right side, and then the path returns on the ridge covered with a forest, where after further gentle descent, we get to a marked crossing.
Here we continue straight (left downwards - Tratnik and Idrijske klavže) and the path which still continues through the forest, gradually passes on a cart track. The cart track which is slowly turning more and more to the right, soon on the right side bypasses Mohoričev vrh (975 meters). On the other side of the mentioned summit the cart track additionally widens and it brings us to the nearby residential houses, which we bypass on the right side, because the path leads us below the projecting roof of the nearby garage. We continue on a cart track which crosses a panoramic meadow which is located above some residential houses of the nearby hamlet. The path ahead for a short time returns into the forest and then descends to an asphalt road which we follow to the right to the nearby crossroad.
At the crossroad, by which there are information boards, we continue left in the direction of Vojsko (right - Idrija) and we continue on the asphalt road. The path ahead leads us through Kočevše, where on the left side in the middle of meadows we will be able to notice rocky loners (massifs, Trdini). We continue on the road which passes into a lane of a forest and then the road again flattens and it brings us to a smaller crossroad, where the road branches off to the right towards the nearby tourist farm Pri belem kamnu. Here we continue straight as well and at all the next crossroads as well. The road which occasionally continues through the forest, and mostly through large meadows, with a view on Trnovski gozd and surrounding hills, after approximately one hour of additional walking brings us to the church of St. Jožef on Vojsko, from where a beautiful view opens up also towards Škofjeloško and Cerkljansko hribovje and in good visibility also towards the Julian Alps.
