Path description:
From the center Poče we continue right in the direction of Labinjske lehe (left - gentle and steep path on Porezen), and through the village we follow the blazes. When we reach a wider cart track we ascend there above the village, where we also get to a smaller hamlet, where two paths branch off to the left towards Porezen, and both join the gentle or steep path.
At the newer, in the time of the description (July 2020) still unfinished house we go slightly left on a cart track which then ascends diagonally through a panoramic meadow. When a little above the nearby homestead which is situated below the path, the path brings us into the forest, at numerous crossings we follow the blazes. Higher, where the path from Cerkno joins, we for some time step on the road, and from there only few steps further, at the crossing, where the path from Dolenji Novaki joins, we go left in the direction of Porezen.
After the crossing, we immediately leave the forest and we get to meadows Labinjske lehe, from where a nice view opens up on Cerkljansko, and the view reaches all the way to Krim, Snežnik and Trnovski gozd.
On the upper part of meadow path turns slightly left and passes on slopes named Počanska gora. Next follows light to moderate diagonal ascent towards the left, and we walk on a well-settled path, which is on short steep spot also well-secured and in dry undemanding.
After the secured part, the path splits, and we continue slightly right on the upper path in the direction of the winter way - zimska smer (slightly left - normal path). The path ahead starts steeply ascending, and after 15 minutes the steepness decreases and we step out of the forest on a pleasant meadow Vrše, where we join the path from Raspet. We continue left (right - Kopa and Črni vrh), where we at first diagonally ascend through a lane of thin forest and then we get very close to the road. We continue on a footpath which continues by the road, and a little further we leave a wider footpath and we continue in the direction of winter way - zimska smer. Follows few steps of ascent, and after the hunting observatory, the footpath by the edge of the pasture vanishes, and we descend to the saddle Velbnik, where we join the usual path (here a little left from the path there is a hunting cottage Na Šašu).
From the saddle Velbnik, where nam once again quite gets closer to a forest road which leads to Dom na Poreznu, we ascend through a narrow lane of a forest and then at the crossing grazing fence the path splits.
We continue on the path which is ascending (the left path bypasses the peak Medrce and isn't marked, but it is slightly shorter), and there in 10 minutes we ascend on a panoramic peak Medrce, from where a nice view opens up on Porezen.
From the top, we descend on a poorly visible footpath which is descending towards the northwest and after 5 minutes of descent brings us to a marked crossing, where from the left joins an already mentioned unmarked path and steep path from Poče. A little further from the left joins also gentle path from Poče, and from the right joins the path from Davča.
We continue in the direction of Porezen and further we are ascending on the more and more panoramic southeastern ridge. This path we then follow to the peak of Porezen, from which a nice view opens up also on Julian Alps.
