Access to starting point:
From Logatec we drive towards Tolmin or vice versa. When we come to Idrija we turn left (from the direction Logatec - Tolmin) towards the center. In the middle of Idrija we turn left in the direction of Vojsko and we follow the road to the next crossroad, where we continue left in the direction of Hleviška planina. The road higher brings us to a smaller crossroad and mountain signposts. We park on a parking lot by the road near this crossroad named Pri Babi.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue on the path in the direction of the spomenik sanitetne postaje (medical station monument). A wide path already after a few minutes brings us to a junction, where we continue straight upwards on the path which ascends steeply (right NOB monument). After a few minutes, the steepness decreases and the path descends and ascends a few times. After the last descent, the path brings us on a wide cart track which we follow to the left and after a few steps immediately right. The path ahead brings us to a larger parking lot in front of the scout hut Pšenk (to here also possible with a car). From the hut, we continue on the path which crosses a smaller bridge and then ascends by the stream. The path then goes past a spring and a little ahead brings us on the forest road which we follow to the right. The road ahead runs past another smaller junction, where we continue straight. A little ahead we leave the road because a poorly marked path goes left upwards. After a few minutes, we again come on the road which we then follow to the hut on Hleviška planina.
From the hut, we continue in the direction of Hleviška planina and continue the ascent on the path which passes into the forest and starts ascending steeply. The path ahead first leads along the edge of the ridge, then gradually passes into a smaller valley, where it also flattens and along which we ascend to the top of Hleviška planina.
From Hleviška planina we continue along the panoramic ridge, then the path turns left and starts descending steeply. When the steepness eases an unmarked path back towards Koča na Hleviški planini branches off sharply to the right, we continue straight and continue the path on the path which continues on and along the ridge which connects Hleviška planina with the neighbouring peak. We continue the path with some ascents and descents, mostly through the forest. The previously mentioned neighbouring peak Blaškova planina we bypass on the right side, then the path returns on the forest-covered ridge, where after further gentle descent we arrive at a marked junction.
Here we continue straight (left downwards Tratnik and Idrijske klavže), the path which continues further through the forest gradually passes on a cart track. The cart track, which slowly turns increasingly to the right, soon bypasses Mohoričev vrh (975 m) on the right side. On the other side of the mentioned peak the cart track widens further and brings us to the nearby residential house, which we bypass on the right side because the path leads under the shelter of the nearby garage. We continue the path on the cart track which crosses a panoramic meadow, which is located above several residential houses of the nearby hamlet. The path ahead returns to the forest for a short time, then descends to the asphalt road, which we follow to the right to the nearby junction.
At the junction, by which there are information boards, we continue left in the direction of Vojsko (right Idrija) and continue the path on the asphalt road. The path ahead leads us through Kočevše, where on the left side amid meadows we will be able to notice rocky solitaires (blocks, Trdini). We continue on the road which passes into a strip of forest, then the road flattens again and brings us to a smaller junction, where to the right branches the road to the nearby tourist farm Pri belem kamnu. Also here we continue straight and likewise in all following junctions. The road, which occasionally continues through the forest, mostly across extensive meadows, with views on Trnovski gozd and surrounding hills, after approximately one hour of further walking brings us to the church of St. Joseph on Vojsko, from where a beautiful view opens also towards Škofjeloško and Cerkljansko hribovje and with good visibility also towards the Julian Alps.
