Access to starting point:
On the road from Radmirje or over Kranjski rak towards Logarska dolina, about a kilometer further from Solčava, we stop at the inn Firšt. It is good to ask someone about parking. In the inn there is an interesting museum about Potočka zijalka. We can also park to the right 200 m higher in the forest at the end of the macadam road.
Path description:
From the inn Firšt to the farm Rogar the path leads us along a forest cart track. A kilometer above Firšt, this cart track splits to the left and straight ahead. The correct path is to the left. Higher up, we reach a smaller clearing with some old buildings. The path then leads us again for a short time through the forest. In the upper part of the meadows at Sveti duh we cross a panoramic road and continue towards the farm Rogar, from which we then continue left along a cart track that begins to ascend through the forest. The cart track soon turns into a footpath that brings us to the state border with Austria. The path then runs along the border and brings us to a junction. The left path leads to Austria, but we head right following the signs to Potočka Zijalka. From the junction there follows only another 10 minutes of steep ascent and we are already at the karst cave named Potočka Zijalka.
The path then starts ascending again and brings us to the next junction. The left path leads to Obel kamen (1911 m), but we head right onto the path to Govca, the highest peak of Olševa. There follows a traverse of steep slopes below Olševa. This part of the path is somewhat exposed, and some fixed safety gear assists us. The path then turns left, where the path over Obel kamen joins, and to the summit there follow only a few minutes of steep ascent.
For the descent, we can go over Obel kamen. The path therefore is not much longer but is panoramatally much more beautiful.
