Access to starting point:
From Logatec we drive towards Idrija. Only a little after the village Kalce we will notice a road which goes left in the direction of village Podkraj and Col. We go on this quite winding road and we follow it to the inn Stara pošta (by the inn there is an archaeological site Ad Pirum, Hrušica) and a little further to a crossroad, where a road towards Javornik branches off to the right (turn-off is marked). The road soon loses an asphalt covering, and we park at the appropriate place near the signpost "Gozdna cesta - uporaba na lastno odgovornost" (Forest road - use at your own risk).
From Primorska we at first drive to Col, and then we continue driving in the direction of village Podkraj. Few kilometers after the village Podkraj, but still before the inn Stara pošta, we will notice a road which turns sharply to the left (direction Javornik). Further, we follow the description above.
Path description:
From the starting point, we go on a macadam road, by which we notice signs for Javornik. The road is at first gently to moderately ascending on the left side of the valley Repna dolina, and then it for some time ascends a little steeper and higher turns to the left, where it entirely flattens, or occasionally even descends a little. After a short descent, we come to a marked crossroad, where from the left joins the path from the village Podkraj, and we continue straight in the direction towards Javornik. The road further is for some time still ascending through the forest and then it flattens and it brings us on a panoramic slope. After that, the path crosses a short lane of a forest and then it brings us to a smaller crossroad, where the road branches off to the right towards Ski cottage Javornik. We continue here on left bottom road, on which we quickly get to an abandoned house. Just before the house, signpost point us to the right on a footpath, on which in few minutes we ascend to the cottage Pirnatova koča on Javornik.
From the cottage, we walk to the nearby signposts, and then we go on the path towards Javornik and the tower. After few ten meters of walking, the path goes into the forest, where it moderately ascends. When we come out of the forest we cross a shorter panoramic slope, after that only a little below the summit, the path goes again in the forest. A gentle ascent follows through the forest and the path brings us to the peak on which we notice a lookout tower. If we have a desire for a view, on our own responsibility we ascend also on the top of the tower, from which a nice view opens up.
