Vrhovec (Lokvarski grič)

Thanks to a friend from Spodnja Idrija, we wandered today on the Šebreljska plateau and enjoyed the views from the top of Vrhovec 1079m asl across our country.
From Matajur, Kanin, Krn Mountains in the west. To the north is the chain of Lower Bohinj Mountains with Triglav in the background. To the east KSA and all the way to Snežnik in the south....really wonderful views on a beautiful autumn day.

On the drive to Spodnja Idrija we also saw the curiosity of the Konomljica river, which sinks at one spot and lower down emerges again with a new spring...

On Sunday our mountain flower took us around her home areas. Finally to Šebrelje, first time. What a beautiful plateau, as Otiv presented it with his wonderful photos and post from 2017! We expected something shorter, but mistake, the hike was quite extensive. From Šebrelje we went towards Jagršče, but not on the usual path, partly towards the waterfall, across water, past a lonely farm. I think even locals probably don't know these paths...we have such a guide! We reached the ruins of a church over 500 years old in Jagršče, crazy views. We viewed the church of St. Ursula and continued towards Krnice. We saw three homesteads, including our hostess's. But continued towards Idrijske Krnice, Rupi. We saw where the school used to be, what path the schoolkids walked daily! And the new church, and an eco-farm where we bought some local goodies. The girls praised the homemade cheese a lot, the salami is surely good too, I gave it all away. Locals hardworking, industrious, no complaining, work and results visible everywhere. Village youth greets, joy to meet them...Ahead was another peak, Vrhovec or Lokvarski vrh, exceptionally scenic. We saw from Matajur, Krn, Kanjavec, tip of Triglav. And of course Rodica, Črna prst, Kojca. Main Porezen and Blegoš, also Ratitovec, Košuta and towards Velika planina. Already before also Snežnik...Still visit to a relative who served us homemade goodies, from Šebrelj chestnut, to homemade potica and roll...really super. Just a quick hop to the church of St. Ivan, views and goodbye. Divje babe next time...not everything, 21 km and 1100m elevation is plenty with all the beauties of this day.

There are many starting points for this peak (also called Lokvarski or Šebreljski). Various lengths and difficulties. All fairly easy.
We started at Kenda farm (https://uzivajlokalno.si/ponudba/kmetija-pr-kendu/).
The path to the peak also leads from Šebrelje or Oblakov vrh, to name at least two most common choices.
In the picture farm pr Krnčan.

Hello!
"lilyd" A bit late but still. On picture 20 it's not towards Bohinj Mountains, but in the middle western Julian Alps namely Kanin range, far right the snow-covered plateau of mighty Krn is visible.
LP Swiss and stay safe in the mountains!

On Saturday we skalaši hiked a nice, long, circular trail. Reka - Divje babe - St. Ivan - Šebrelje - Vrhovec (Lokvarski vrh - Šebreljski vrh) - Jagršče - Reka.
Part of the trail from Vrhovec (Lokvarski vrh - Šebreljski vrh) towards Jagršče we went off-trail, looking for the easiest passage through the gully to the marked path.

Nice mountaineer's greeting.

Divje babe is a karst cave and Paleolithic archaeological site above the Idrijca River near Cerkno. It is known for the discovery of a Mousterian bone flute, which at around 60,000 years old may be the oldest flute.4
