Grant - Jehlc (Špičasta kupa)

Access to starting point:
From Podbrdo we drive towards Tolmin or vice versa, but only to the village of Koritnica. In Koritnica we will notice a sign for the village Rut, which directs us right (from Tolmin sharply left). We then follow the mostly ascending road to the mentioned village, where there is also a smaller intersection. We continue left towards the village Grant, to which we arrive after approximately 1 km of additional driving. In the village there are no designated parking spots, therefore we park at an appropriate place somewhere nearby.

Path description:
At the end of the village Grant we look for the continuation of the marked path, which further runs on a poorer road or cart track. Further on there follow some junctions, where we follow the otherwise rare blazes, and we quickly ascend above the village. Higher we leave the nearby pasture as well, then we ascend to a wider macadam road, which we cross, and continue the ascent through the forest. Quite steep path, along which the blazes are more frequent further on, and higher it crosses another forest road. Above the road, the path turns slightly to the left, then it starts to ascend quite steeply. Higher the steepness eases a little, then we join a wider cart track path, which we follow to the left, along it we quickly arrive at a marked junction, where we continue right in the direction of Rodica (straight to Koča na planini Razor and Geološka pot).
Behind the junction named Mladinska koča we start to ascend along a nicely preserved mule track, which after a few minutes turns sharply to the left, then for quite some time ascends diagonally to the left, first still through the forest, then through dwarf pines. During the diagonal ascent the path leads us also over some gullies, the passages over them are not demanding, since the path is wide all the time. With nice views on Idrijsko and Cerkljansko hribovje, at the right serpentine we approach completely close to the summit of Jehlc, which we see in front of us all the time during the crossing. At this serpentine a pathless approach to the mentioned summit continues straight ahead (the last part before the ridge is demanding), while we continue along the marked path, which continues further along the mule track. Two serpentines higher an even easier approach to the aforementioned summit branches off to the left.
At the mentioned second branch-off there is a cairn, which directs us onto a less trodden path, along which we quickly ascend to the ridge, where we reach Peči or Greben (1727 m).
Here we continue left and start descending along and on the ridge. At a smaller saddle the access from the "first" serpentine joins us from the left, from here to the summit only a gentle and short ascent along and on the ridge separates us.
