Railway station (Most na Soči) - Veliki vrh (above Lom)

Access to starting point:
The starting point is at the railway station Most na Soči in the settlement Postaja. The access is described from two directions, the third access is via Čepovan.

a) From Nova Gorica, we follow the signs for Bovec and Tolmin, drive through Kanal and then pay attention to the turn-off for Most na Soči in the direction of Idrija and Ljubljana. We continue driving through the village Kozaršče, in the center of Most na Soči we continue driving in the direction of Ljubljana and Idrija. After a kilometer and a half on our right we notice a bridge and the sign for Lokve, Čepovan and Postaja. We cross the bridge and near the railway station we look for a parking spot.

b) From the direction of Idrija we follow the signs for Tolmin. 500 meters after the settlement Bača pri Modreju (before the settlement, a railway viaduct crosses the road) on our left we notice a bridge and the sign for Lokve, Čepovan and Postaja. We cross the bridge and near the railway station we look for a parking spot.

Path description:
The path is well marked with signposts and is undemanding, in the first part to the hamlet Široko it is quite steep, later it flattens. It mostly runs on macadam roads and cart tracks, below the summit for a short time on a narrower footpath. Along the path there are two vantage points with panorama boards (Široko and Ledince), the peak is also panoramic.

From the railway station, we go forward on the asphalt road on the left bank of Idrijca in the direction of Čepovan, after 400 meters we follow the road into the turn under the railway bridge. After 200 meters on the right side of the road a sign at the tap with running water points us towards the vantage point Široko on a macadam road. We continue on the road to the next turn-off, where a sign points us far left. We soon start ascending, the road on the most steep parts is paved with concrete, without problems we follow it to the hamlet Klohi. At the last house, we turn around the corner on a narrow cart track which leads through pastures and meadows, from which a view starts opening up towards Tolmin hills. After two hairpin turns we pay attention that at the beech fence we don't continue ahead, but sharply to the right, as the sign shows.

When we get to the hamlet Široko, we can go past the tourist farm to the vantage point (50 m from the path), otherwise we follow signposts for Ledince, Grudnica and Veliki vrh and quickly leave the asphalt road and turn left on a macadam forest road, which still ascends for some time, then gradually flattens. We leave the Široko macadam road at the top of the next longer slope, where signs direct us right towards the vantage point Ledince and Veliki vrh (shortcut sign).

From the vantage point, we continue on a gentle forest cart track to the next marked crossroad, where we turn slightly left upwards, right downwards goes the path in the direction of Močila na Kalu and Kanalski Lom. From here the path is well marked with signposts and blue-yellow blazes, which mark the circular trail »Lom je moj dom«. The path goes past the abyss Brezno v Špilah a little higher than the path that is arranged for sightseeing, also with the description on the info board. The path then after a few turns narrows and ascends to the border stone, where there is the next info board.

After the border stone we turn right on a somewhat wider path again. In a dried spruce forest, just before the clearing, we leave the path and turn right on a narrower footpath. It brings us to an indistinct ridge, which gently rises towards Veliki vrh. After a few minutes of walking we notice a preserved observation post from the 1st World War, then after a short descent follows only a short ascent to the top. Just below the summit there is also an info board with 1st World War theme, on the top there is a miniature Aljaž tower with a logbook (it opens by lifting the cover).

We can return on the same path or make a detour on the marked trail »Lom je moj dom« in the direction of Grudnica (this extends the path by 30 minutes, we join back at the vantage point Ledince). Or on the way back at the abyss we can turn far left towards Močilo na Kalu and on the trail »Lom je moj dom« in the other direction descend to Kanalski Lom and then ascend back to Široko (this extends the path by a good 1 hour and additional 200 meters of ascent) and from here descend back into the valley.
