Podhočar - Hoč

Access to starting point:
From Podbrdo, Soriška planina or Železniki we drive to Petrovo Brdo, and from there we continue towards the south, to the road which continues in the direction of the settlement Podporezen and starts ascending. The path ahead leads us on an asphalt road which higher brings us to a crossroad, where we continue straight or slightly left (by the crossroad there are only signs for the right road which lead towards the farm Pr Robarju and nearby cross). We follow the asphalt but relatively steep road all the time to the farm Podhočar (last farm), where on an appropriate place a few meters below the farm we park.

Path description:
From the spot where we've parked, we walk to the farm, and there on the house we notice signs for Porezen, which point us to the right on a cart track which continues behind the house. We continue on the cart track (path which leads left through a meadow is closed), which passes into the forest and starts moderately ascending. After a few minutes of ascent the cart track starts turning to the left and brings us on an indistinct ridge, where the path turns a little more to the left to the nearby meadow. When we reach the edge of the meadow, from where a view towards Blegoš opens up, we go right and the path takes us back into the forest.
In the forest, the cart track changes into a pleasant footpath, which in a gentle ascent leads us through an indistinct small valley.
On the part where the small valley starts changing into a gentle slope we join a better beaten path from Petrovo Brdo.
The path ahead moderately to steeply ascends through the forest and in a few hairpin turns leads us on the slopes of the less known but panoramic summit Hoč (1514 m). Next follows crossing in a gentle ascent towards the right, and then the path brings us out of the forest onto a smaller saddle between the already mentioned Hoč and Pohoški Kup (Glava).
On the saddle, where we leave the marked path towards Porezen, a nice view opens up towards Blegoš on the left and Spodnje Bohinjske gore and Triglav on the right.
From the saddle we continue left on an indistinct ridge of Hoč, where we quickly step into the forest. Through the forest we stick to the indistinct ridge, and the quite steep "path" after a few minutes flattens on a smaller clearing, where on the right we notice a vantage point from which there is a nice view of Porezen. After the part where the slope temporarily flattens, the "path" becomes even steeper. We still stick to the ridge or ascend a little left of it. Higher a short quite steep ascent awaits us, and then we step out of the forest and only a few steps to the summit remain, which we take amid increasingly beautiful views.
The description and pictures refer to the condition in 2015 (May).
