Divje jezero - Koča na Hleviški planini (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 along the road, then park in 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 along the road, then park in the parking lot by the information boards for the nearby Divje jezero.

Route description:
From the parking lot by Divje jezero we continue along the road, but we walk along it only a few dozen meters, then the trail signs by the Rakas 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 at 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 river Idrijca. 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 karstic world surrounded by sparse shrubbery (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 true Prižnica is supposed to be somewhat higher and a little away from the mountain path), from which a beautiful view opens over the Zgornja Idrijca landscape park and the deeply flowing river Idrijca below.
We continue past a 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 over the meadow ascend to the 763-meter-high Zagrebenc (also marked on maps as Čekovnik).
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 stretch 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 higher up levels out and leads us to a marked junction. We continue right in the direction towards Hleviše and a little higher cross the gravel road. The path then ascends transversely through the forest for some time, then leads us onto grassy slopes, over which we ascend in a few minutes to the Koča na Hleviški planini.

Along the route: Zagrebenc (763m)
