Planina Polog - Planina Medrja

Access to starting point:
First, we drive to Tolmin, from there we follow the road in the direction of Zatolmin (we leave the main road at the traffic light). In Zatolmin we notice the mountain signposts for Javorca, which direct us onto an ascending road towards Javorca. The occasionally quite narrow and in places precipitous road brings us, after approximately 8 km of driving, to a small intersection, where the road towards Javorca branches off to the left upwards. Here we turn left and follow the road for just over 100 m to a marked parking lot.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue on a concrete road, which quickly enters the forest and starts to ascend steeply. After approximately 15 minutes of walking, the forest thins out, and the road turns sharply to the right. This is followed by just a few minutes of walking along the edge of the pastures, and the road brings us to the memorial church of the Holy Spirit on Javorca.
We bypass the church on the left side and continue on a wide and initially gentle cart track, which quickly enters the forest. Here we can hear the roaring of the waterfall of the stream Peščak to the left below us, but we continue on the marked path (cart track), which higher up crosses the aforementioned stream over a bridge. Further on, we ascend along a moderately steep cart track, which proceeds partly through the forest, partly through dense shrubbery and brambles. Higher up, we cross one more of the numerous grazing fences, and the path brings us to the mountain pasture Črča, on which a few old cottages stand.
Just before the cottages on the mountain pasture, the signs for the mountain pastures Sleme, Medrje and Laška seč direct us slightly to the left, where we ascend through tall grass to an indistinct ridge along which the grazing fence runs. Further, we ascend alongside the grazing fence, then the path enters dense forest, where it steeply ascends for a short time to a trough with water. Here the path turns slightly to the right, and after a few dozen steps it brings us to the next grazing fence. We cross the grazing fence and walk to the cottages on the mountain pasture Laška seč.
Above the mountain pasture the path enters the forest, which continues on a wide cart track. Somewhat higher we emerge from the forest, and just a few meters after crossing a grazing fence we continue left on a poorly visible and poorly marked path. The path higher up rejoins the cart track and just a few meters further brings us to the shepherd's cottage on the mountain pasture Medrja.
