Divje jezero - Hleviška planina (via Prižnica)

Access to starting point:
a) First we drive to Logatec, then continue driving towards Idrija. When the most winding part of the road towards Idrija ends, we reach the hamlet of Podroteja, where we leave the main road and continue driving left towards Divje jezero and Idrijska Bela. We drive a few 100 m further, then park at the parking lot by the information boards for the nearby Divje jezero.
b) From Most na Soči or Podbrdo we drive to the village of Bača pri Modreju, then continue driving towards Idrija and further towards Logatec. At the end of Idrija, more precisely at the hamlet of Podroteja, we leave the main road and continue driving right towards Divje jezero and Idrijska Bela. We drive a few 100 m further, then park at the parking lot by the information boards for the nearby Divje jezero.

Route description:
From the parking lot at Divje jezero we continue along the road, but we walk along it only a few dozen meters, then the trail markings by the Rakah direct us right onto a footbridge, which we cross to the other bank of the Idrijca. There we reach a walking path, which we follow to the left (right leads towards Idrija). We continue the path in a moderate ascent along the channel through which water flows. The channel was built for the needs of the mine pump. At the weir by Kobila, which we reach after a few minutes, the channel ends, and we continue along a wide path by the Idrijca river. Further on we cross quite steep slopes, but since the path is wide enough, it does not cause us problems on dry ground. A little further we reach a marked junction, where a path branches off to the right towards the summit of Struga, but we continue straight and follow the traversing path to the directional signs.
Here we turn right and begin to ascend first moderately, then steeply through the forest. Higher up the path levels out and turns left, where it continues through a karstified area surrounded by sparse shrubs (the area called Modrasovše). We continue the traversing ascent to the left and the path leads us to a beautiful viewpoint at Prižnica (as the inscription on the rock says, although the real Prižnica is supposed to be somewhat higher and slightly away from the mountain path), from which a beautiful view opens over the Zgornja Idrijca landscape park and the Idrijca river flowing deep below.
We continue past the bench, where the path gradually begins to descend transversely. After a short and gentle descent we reach a cart track, where the markings direct us sharply to the right. We continue the ascent along the cart track, which rises moderately through the forest, and higher up approaches a rocky edge. This is somewhat away from the path (if we wish, we can walk to the edge of "Prižnica", from which a beautiful and precipitous view opens). Higher up the marked path on the right side bypasses the nearby meadows, then ascends to the farm Zagrebenc. From the farm we continue slightly right and climb over the meadow to the 763-meter-high Zagrebenc (also marked as Čekovnik on maps).
From Zagrebenc, from which a beautiful view towards the Golaki opens, we first descend to a grassy saddle, then ascend to another less prominent summit. Here we first cross a short strip of forest, then at the sight of Hleviška planina we begin to descend towards the nearby asphalt road, which we only cross. We continue a few dozen meters along a gravel road leading to a nearby residential house, then turn slightly left onto a relatively steep trail, which levels out higher up and leads us to a marked junction. We continue right in the direction of Hlevišam and a little higher cross a gravel road. The path then ascends transversely through the forest for some time, then leads us to grassy slopes, over which we ascend in a few minutes to the Koča na Hleviški planini.
From the hut we continue in the direction of Hleviška planina and continue the ascent along a path that turns into forest and begins to ascend steeply. The path further initially leads us along the edge of the ridge, then gradually turns into a smaller valley, where it also levels out and along which we ascend to the summit of Hleviška planine.
