After Gorenja vas, in the settlement Hotavlje, at the crossroad behind inn Gostilna Lipan we leave the main road towards Žiri and we continue driving right in the direction of the ski slope Cerkno and village Leskovica. Immediately after the crossroad, we park on an appropriate place by the road.

Path description:
From the starting point, where nearby there is a vending machine of farm Pr Šupc we continue on the road towards the village Leskovica and in the direction of hiking paths on Blegoš, Ermanovec and Slajka. Few minutes we walk by the edge of the road, partly also on a sidewalk, and then signs for Ermanovec and Slajka point us to the left (straight - Blegoš), where over the bridge we cross Kopačnica, and immediately after the bridge at the church of St. Lovrenc we continue left (right - marked path on Slajka and Ermanovec).
Immediately after the church we go right, at first still on the asphalt road which leads to the nearby house, and still before the house we go on a cart track which ascends diagonally to a double hayrack, which we bypass on the right side. When the cart track a little higher turns right, from the left joins the path which starts near the confluence of the rivers Kopačnica and Poljanska Sora (near the crossroad, where we've parked, but on the right bank of Kopačnica, so that we can get here also on this path), and we continue right and we diagonally ascend through a meadow into the forest, through which the path then continues. In the forest, the cart track makes few hairpin turns, and when signs for Slajka point us to the right, we leave it and we short time continue on a forest footpath. We soon return on a cart track which we follow to the right, and a little higher we join the path from Podgora.
We continue right on a wider footpath which soon widens into a cart track, and it turns a little left and at the hunting observatory comes out of the forest. Here by the lower edge on a cart track we cross a meadow, and when we reach the macadam road we follow it to the right. The road soon starts descending and in few minutes brings us to a crossroad, where we reach an asphalt road. On the asphalt road, we ascend to the nearby crossroad from which we continue right in the direction of Slajka.
Next follows an ascent on the asphalt road, and when we leave the forest, from the right joins the marked path from Hotavlje. Asphalt road then leads us past the bench, where the path branches off to the right towards Vrh Slajke, and the road which semicircular turns to the left we follow to the nearby farm, from which to the mountain hut Dom na Slajki separates us only a minute of walking.
From the hut, we return to the near farm, where we bypass the main buildings on the upper side and we continue on the macadam road which on the nearby meadow changes into a cart track. Next follows a walk through a lane of a forest, and when we leave the forest, we continue right (straight - Ermanovec) on an unmarked path, at first cart track which continues by the edge of the forest. When the forest on the right ends we continue with the ascent by the grazing fence, which leads on a grassy ridge and higher the ridge flattens and it turns left. We continue by the edge of the forest to the panoramic secondary peak, from the secondary peak we go a little right into the forest. Through the forest, we are ascending towards the west to northwest, and by the path, we occasionally also notice some older blaze. In few minutes of ascent through the forest we reach a vegetated peak, on which there is a small cairn.
