Hotedršica - Sveti Urh (Zavratec)

Access to starting point:
From the highway Ljubljana - Koper we take the exit Logatec and then continue driving towards Idrija. In the settlement Hotedršica, just a few 10 meters after a smaller bridge we continue right (not immediately behind the bridge), where we will notice by the road an information board "po poteh dediščine, od Idrijce do Kolpe". We continue driving in the direction of Žejna Dolina, and we follow the road a few 100 meters to a smaller crossroad near which we park on an appropriate place by the road.
To the starting point we can also come from the direction of Cola and Idrija. In this case, we first drive to Godovič and then continue driving towards Logatec. When we come to Hotedršica we continue left. Further, we follow the above description.

Path description:
From the spot where we have parked we continue on the lower road, which continues along the stream Željska voda. After a few minutes we get to a somewhat larger crossroad, where we continue slightly left and continue the path on the road, which ascends almost unnoticeably along the already mentioned stream, which a little further we also cross. The road then continues across a larger meadow, then brings us to the edge of the forest, where we continue left. The road then starts to ascend more noticeably and brings us past an old border stone, which marks the old Rapallo border between Italy and Yugoslavia, to a lonely house, behind which the path passes into a denser forest.
We follow the road ahead only a few 10 steps, then the blazes direct us right onto a cart track, which starts to ascend moderately through the forest. The cart track higher turns somewhat to the left, where it brings us out of the forest onto panoramic grassy slopes. Here the path flattens again, and after a few minutes of easy walking it brings us to a lonely farm, where we step back onto the road. We follow the mentioned road to the right, which quickly brings us to a left bend, behind which we notice signs that direct us onto an ascending cart track. We continue the ascent on a very panoramic grassy slope, along which we continue all the way to the church of St. Katarina on Medvedje Brdo. We continue on the asphalt road, which leads past the Dom Medved, and follow it for a few minutes to a smaller crossroad, where we continue sharply right. Only a few minutes of walking follow and the path brings us to Šinkovcov grič, on which there is a panorama board.
From the top we return to the asphalt road, then at the last crossroad we continue straight. A short descent follows to the crossroad by the chapel, where we continue left. We continue the path on a somewhat wider road, which leads past the fire station, and behind it with nice views we quickly reach the next crossroad, where we continue right in the direction of Zavratec and Vrh Sv. Treh Kraljev. The path ahead leads us on a macadam road, which soon splits into two parts.
The marked path towards Vrh Sv. Treh Kraljev continues on the right road, while we continue on the left road in the direction of the village Zavratec and Potok. A few minutes of somewhat steeper descent follow, then we reach the village Potok, where the road becomes asphalt again. In the village the road flattens completely, leading us past a few houses and mainly across meadows. On the other side of the village the road passes into the forest, where it gently descends for a short time along the nearby stream, then in front of the lonely house it starts to ascend. When a few minutes higher the road flattens, we arrive at the sports field, a few 10 steps further also at the village Zavratec. A short descent follows and the road brings us to the church of St. Urh at Zavratec.
