Spodnja Idrija - Jelenk (via Kendove robe)

Access to starting point:
From Logatec we drive towards Tolmin or vice versa. When we come to Spodnja Idrija we turn left (from the direction Tolmin right) in the direction of village Kanomlja. Already after good 100 meters of driving by the road we notice a sign for Jelenk. Near the sign there is also a large parking lot, on which we can park only on non-working days (because the parking lot is intended for employees in the nearby company).

Path description:
From the parking lot, we over the bridge cross the river Kanomljica and on the other side, we continue straight on an asphalt road to a crossroad, where we continue on the right road which ascends past houses. And after a short ascent, signs for Jelenk, point us to the left through a meadow upwards. In the middle of the meadow, we leave the cart track and we continue the ascent left on a footpath upwards (the path is marked). The path then goes into the forest, where it is relatively steeply ascending. A little higher we get to a lonely farm, where we also step on the road. The road we only cross because then blazes again point us on a footpath which is at first ascending on the edge of the forest. Already after few steps of additional walking, the path goes again in the forest, where it brings us to a crossing. At the crossing, we continue right and an easy path through the forest soon brings us on a wide ridge. Here the path turns to the left and is for some time still ascending on the ridge and then avoids the ridge on the right side. Slope, which we cross on a narrow footpath is becoming increasingly steep and increasingly beautiful views starting to open up on surrounding hills. Such a path soon brings us to the first fixed safety gear. Instead with normal steel cables the path is secured with a thick cable. Further, the path turns to the left and then follows almost vertical ascent with the help of fixed safety gear. Next follows few more shorter crossings and ascents by fixed safety gear and we are already before the most difficult part of the path, where there is also an inscription box. Here with the help of fixed safety gear we ascend almost vertically upwards. And the path is on this part also slightly crumbly, therefore we have to be especially careful. Further follows few shorter crossings, and then also one very short almost vertical ascent. After that, the path gradually becomes less demanding and soon brings us to the vantage point, where the fixed safety gear end. Further, the path runs through denser forest and it brings us to high mountain farm Kenda. Immediately when we come out of the forest, we at first few ten meters descend on the road, and then we continue right on a cart track which leads us past the farm. We still continue on a cart track which through the forest soon brings us to another high mountain farm, where from the left side also the easier path joins. Here we continue left on the road (badly marked) to the next house, behind which we continue right upwards. Further, we are ascending on a cart track which through less and less vegetated slope brings us below the top of Jelenk. And a little below the top we notice signs for Jelenk, which point us to the right upwards. We go on this path, which in few steps brings us to the summit.
