Access to starting point:
From Podbrdo, Soriška planina or Železniki we drive to Petrovo Brdo, and from there we continue towards the south, on 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 right road which lead towards the farm Pr Robarju and nearby cross). All the time asphalt, but relatively steep road, we then follow to the farm Podhočar (last farm), where on an appropriate place 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 a cart track (path which leads left through a meadow is closed), which passes into the forest and starts moderately ascending. After few minutes of the ascent cart track starts turning to the left and it 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 a 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, and in a gentle ascent it leads through an indistinct small valley.
On the part, where small valley starts changing into gentle slope we join a better beaten path from Petrovo Brdo.
The path ahead is moderately to steeply ascending through the forest and in few hairpin turns leads on slopes of less known, but panoramic summit Hoč (1514 meters). Next follows crossing in a gentle ascent towards the right, and then the path brings us out of the forest on 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 an indistinct ridge and quite steep "path" pa after few minutes flattens on a smaller plain, where on the right we notice a vantage point, from which there is a nice view towards Porezen. After the part, where slope for some time flattens, "path" becomes even steeper. We still stick to the ridge or we are ascending a little left from it. Higher follows a short quite steep ascent, and then we step out of the forest and to the top we have only few steps, which we make with increasingly beautiful views.
