Cerkno - Bevkov vrh

Access to starting point:
From the road Idrija - Tolmin (possible also through the mountain pass Kladje, Davče, Leskovice...) we drive to Cerkno, where we park on one of the parking lots in the center, or on the periphery of the town.

Path description:
From Cerkno we continue on the main asphalt road towards Škofja Loka. We walk for some time on or beside the main road, along which we notice a few rare blazes. After approximately 20 minutes of not very safe walking (we walk on a winding and occasionally quite busy main road), the road makes its first sharp left turn. Just before the mentioned turn, the blazes direct us right onto a side road, along which we arrive at a smaller hamlet. We walk past a few houses, then asphalt gives way to macadam, and we follow the road for only a few dozen steps, as the blazes then direct us left onto an ascending and marked cart track (to here also possible by car, which shortens the path by less than 30 minutes, while at the same time avoiding walking on the main road).
On the cart track we quickly ascend to the nearby meadow, on its upper edge the marked path turns right into the forest. Follows a few-minute ascent through dense forest, then we cross the forest road and continue the ascent on the marked path. Higher we once again cross the road and a few cart tracks, then we emerge from the forest, where we reach a smaller wooden cottage. Above the cottage the cart track along which we walk turns left, we leave it here and ascend over an initially steep grassy slope to the nearby homestead, where we step onto the road. On the road we walk only a short time, then the blazes direct us right onto a wide cart track, which higher splits into two parts. We continue on the left one, which soon flattens completely, then brings us across the slopes to the left to a smaller hamlet. Behind the hamlet, from which a nice view opens onto the surrounding hills, the cart track, or from here onward a worse road, begins to ascend moderately and after a few minutes of further walking brings us to the center of the village Podlanišče, where there is a marked junction.
From the pass Kladje at Podlanišče we continue in the direction of the sanctuary Lajše, Bevkov vrh and Sivka and initially continue on the asphalt road. We walk on the road for a short time, then at a smaller junction, still before the road enters the forest, we continue on the left road, from it immediately right onto a footpath that ascends between the two roads and enters the forest. Through the forest we first ascend on a cart track, then the blazes direct us slightly right onto a marked footpath, which higher crosses a few cart tracks. When higher at the woodpile we reach a wider cart track, we continue on it, and it brings us out of the forest without major changes in elevation, a few minutes further also to the asphalt road, which we follow right. On the road in a few steps we arrive at a smaller saddle, where there is a marked junction.
From the junction we continue left in the direction of Bevkov vrh and homemade cheese. At the following junctions we follow the signs for homemade cheese, meanwhile the road descends approximately 50 elevation meters. Lower the road flattens, and from the right the marked path from Želina joins us. A few dozen steps further we arrive at the farm Na Ravan, where it is possible to buy some dairy product, and here a few steps before the farm we continue left onto a cart track that continues behind the houses. The cart track quickly turns into a footpath, which then ascends up the pasture, higher we reach a somewhat wider cart track that ascends diagonally right. At the entrance into the forest we notice a large blaze resembling a traffic sign, the cart track here enters the forest and turns left. When we step out of the forest again we notice another large blaze, which is helpful on the descent. On the cart track we continue to the pasture fence, then along it to the chapel, which is located by the power line.
From the chapel, where there are the SPP stamp and the logbook box, we continue left in the direction of Sovodnja. Follows less than 10 minutes of walking along the partly panoramic ridge of Bevkov vrh. When the path enters the forest, only a few steps of walking separate us from the summit of Bevkov vrh.
Cerkno - Kladje 1:20, Kladje - Bevkov vrh 1:30.
