Podbrdo - Krevl

Access to starting point:
A) First, we drive to Škofja Loka, and then we continue driving towards Železniki and Tolmin. When we get to Podbrdo, we need to pay attention, because we will immediately after the church turn right onto a narrower local road which starts ascending by the river Bača. We park at an appropriate place by the road, or on a smaller parking lot by the local cemetery.
B) From the road Idrija - Most na Soči, at the settlement Bača pri Modreju we turn right, or left, if we come from the direction of Posočje, and we continue driving towards Podbrdo. At the end of the settlement Podbrdo, we need to pay attention, because we will just before the church of St. Miklavž turn left onto a narrower local road which starts ascending by the river Bača. We park at an appropriate place by the road, or on a smaller parking lot by the local cemetery.

Path description:
From the starting point, we continue on the initially still asphalted road, from which soon a marked footpath towards Vrh Bače branches off sharply to the left. Further, we continue past an old residential house, behind which we gradually enter the forest. Through the forest, we ascend on a relatively well-marked and partly also quite steep mountain path, which higher up levels out and brings us out of the forest onto a short panoramic slope, across which we walk to the nearby small church of St. Lenart.
At the church, we step onto a narrow road, along which we quickly walk into the village Bača pri Podbrdu. Through the small and panoramic village, we follow the blazes, which lead us onto a cart track that starts ascending through the forest. The narrower and initially somewhat overgrown cart track joins the old mule track after just a few minutes. We follow the wide mule track to the right, and it brings us to a smaller junction after just a few minutes, where we continue on the upper left path in the direction of Vrh Bače (slightly right Petrovo Brdo).
Further, we ascend for quite some time on the well-preserved and quite wide mule track, which higher up we leave briefly, as the path takes us along a marked shortcut. Higher up, the mule track is blocked several times by some fallen trees, then we approach the cliffs of the peak Šance, where we leave the mule track. Next, we ascend a quite steep path, along which in 5 minutes of further walking we arrive at the hunting cottage on Vrh Bače.
From the hunting cottage, we continue straight ahead (sharply right Petrovo Brdo) and ascend to the saddle Vrh Bače, where there is a marked junction. Here we continue left in the direction of Črna prst (slightly right along the road to Soriška planina, right uphill to Šavnik and Možic) and begin to ascend diagonally through the forest. When the path has ascended almost below the very top of Šance, it starts to descend towards a smaller saddle. The path first leads past the GRS cottage, then we reach the aforementioned saddle. Ahead, the path first starts to ascend moderately, then gradually brings us onto the ridge of Kobla, where it becomes even steeper. There follows a few minutes of steep ascent along the path that runs along the edge of the occasionally exposed ridge. Higher up, the path levels out, turns somewhat to the right and brings us to the less pronounced summit of Kobla.
From Kobla there follows a short descent, then the path brings us into the forest, where it continues briefly traversing the slopes. Soon after stepping out of the forest, the signs for the stamp at Kobla direct us left onto a steeper footpath, which starts ascending along and higher up a relatively steep ridge of Krevl. When the ridge widens somewhat, we reach the logbook box, and the summit is a few steps further on.
