Access to starting point:
From the road Idrija - Most na Soči, in the settlement Slap ob Idrijci we turn right (from the direction Most na Soči sharply left) in the direction of settlements Ponikve, Šentviška Gora and Pečine. Further, we start ascending, at the crossroads we follow the signs for Šentviška Gora. When we get to the mentioned settlement we park on an appropriate place near the parish church of St. Vid.
Path description:
We bypass the church on the right, and the cemetery on the left side and we continue on the asphalt road in the direction of Gorski Vrh. After the last houses, the asphalt ends, and gentle road gradually becomes a little steeper. Higher, the road makes two hairpin turns and past the chapel brings us to an asphalt road which we follow to the right. Few minutes we are ascending on the asphalt road, after that from the crossroad we continue left in the direction of village Ponikve and Gorski Vrh (straight Bukovski Vrh and Police).
After the crossroad, the road for some time flattens, and then it starts ascending steeper and leads us past the homestead Travnikar, and a little higher it brings us to the next crossroad.
To the left the road continues towards the settlement Ponikve, straight leads the footpath on Črvov vrh, and we go right in the direction of the settlement Bukovski Vrh and Bukov gaj. Further, we walk on the macadam road which a little further leads past another house, and then we ascend on a small saddle, from which we continue straight downwards (left Bukov gaj and Črvov vrh). Next follows a descent with nice views, and a little after the hairpin turn we gradually get to partly marked crossroad, from which we go left.
Immediately after the crossroad, we get to the next crossroad from which we go right, and then starts the crossing to homestead Pri Pircu.
Buildings at the homestead we bypass on the left side, and then we step on a grassy path which continues between grazing fences. When we reach an indistinct ridge, we continue by the grazing fence, which leads by the ridge and in few minutes of additional ascent, we reach panoramic Bukovski vrh.
