Reka - Rodne

Access to starting point:
A) First, we drive to Idrija, and then we continue driving towards Tolmin. After some time, the road brings us to a crossroads, where the road to Cerkno branches off to the right, and we still continue straight here, but we need to pay attention because we will soon arrive at the settlement Reka. Immediately after the end of the settlement, we first notice signs for Kojca and a few tens of meters further also for Šebrelje. Here a narrower road branches off to the left, which brings us over a bridge across the river Idrijca to a smaller parking lot by the information boards for the Archaeological Park Divje babe.
B) From Most na Soči or Podbrdo we drive to the settlement Bača pri Modreju, and then we continue driving towards Idrija. Just a few tens of meters before the settlement Reka starts, we turn right over a bridge across the river Idrijca and then park at a smaller parking lot by the information boards.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we return over the bridge, carefully cross the main road, and then continue right along the main road towards Idrija. After a good 50 meters of walking along the main road, we notice signs for Kojca, which direct us slightly left onto a narrow asphalt road, along which we quickly arrive at the center of the village Reka. Here we continue straight or slightly right and walk among the houses. The dense part of the village quickly ends, and we follow the road from which a nice view opens towards the church of St. Ivan (hill above Divje babe) to a somewhat larger crossroads, where we head slightly left in the direction of Kojca and Orehovška grapa. The road then begins to ascend along the left side of Orehovška grapa (viewed in the direction of ascent), and we walk along it for approximately 10 minutes, then arrive at a smaller crossroads, where we continue sharply left in the direction of Kojca, the peak Rodne, and the farm Močnik. Initially still asphalted, the road soon turns sharply right, then ascends transversely towards the right. Higher up, the asphalt ends, and the partly panoramic road quickly brings us to the already mentioned farm.
Here among the houses, we turn sharply left onto a cart track, which we leave at the first right bend as the blazes direct us slightly right onto a somewhat less trodden path. Further on, we ascend across a grassy slope, and when the path enters a narrow belt of bushes, it again becomes more visible and easier to follow. Higher up, the path turns slightly left and joins a wide cart track. When we step onto the cart track, we continue left and ascend out of the forest along it. A relatively gentle path that continues along a panoramic cart track surrounded by meadows gradually passes to the other side of the hill. Along the cart track, which occasionally descends, we continue to a larger hayloft, where the blazes direct us from the cart track into a nice grassy dell. Further, we ascend along the mentioned dell, where there is no particularly visible path, and then, when we return to the forest, we notice a blaze that directs us slightly right. Further on, we steeply ascend through a narrow belt of forest, then ascend beside a stand of spring reseda onto the panoramic peak Rodne.
