Cerkno - Štor (via Planina pri Cerknem)

Access to starting point:
From the road Idrija - Tolmin (also possible via the pass Kladje, Davča, Leskovica...) we drive to Cerkno, where we park at one of the parking lots in the center or on the periphery of the town (best near the church of St. Anne).

Path description:
From the church of St. Anne in Cerkno, past the snack bar Okrepčevalnica pr'Jušku and store Merkur we walk to the street Pot v Strano, where the marked path begins that leads towards Planina pri Cerknem, Škofje and Ermanovec. We head up the mentioned street, and after a few meters we continue on the right road, which starts to ascend more steeply. The road ends at the last house, and we continue the path on a cart track that ascends diagonally. The blazes then lead us left, and the path brings us to a panoramic grassy slope, from which a nice view opens up on Cerkno and the surrounding hills.
We continue further on the cart track, and at junctions we follow the signs of mountain path no. 5. The moderately steep path slowly distances itself from Cerkno, and with nice views of the surroundings quickly brings us to an asphalt road, which we merely cross. We continue the ascent in the same direction, and further ascend on a poorer cart track road, on which in a few minutes of further walking we arrive at the village Planina pri Cerknem.
Through the village, in the middle of which stands the church of St. John the Baptist, we walk on a diagonally ascending cart track, which crosses the asphalt road several times, and in doing so we also walk through several courtyards. Above the lower part of the village we arrive at a macadam road, on which in a few minutes we walk to a smaller junction. Here we continue left uphill, where we quickly arrive at the "last" house in the village.
Above the house we continue on an initially wide cart track, which quickly enters the forest, and we continue on it for a few minutes. A little higher we leave the cart track and continue left on the marked and wide mountain path, which starts to ascend more steeply. A little higher we arrive at a macadam road, where a path branches off to the left to the Franja hospital, and we continue straight and after a short steep ascent step onto an asphalt road, on which we walk to the next marked junction.
At the junction we continue right towards Ermanovec (left Škofje), where we quickly arrive at the next marked junction, where we continue straight across the asphalt road onto the footpath in the direction towards Ermanovec (left Jeram - stamp ICPP, right pass Kladje). We continue the ascent for some time along the edge of a panoramic ridge, from which a nice view opens up on Škofje, then the path goes onto the slope and a little further into the forest. Through the forest we moderately ascend on a cart track, and higher we reach an asphalt road that leads from the pass Kladje towards Ermanovec.
For a short time we walk on the asphalt road, then at a smaller hamlet we continue slightly left onto the road in the direction of the footpath to Ermanovec. On the macadam road in a few dozen steps we ascend to a panoramic ridge, where the signs for Ermanovec direct us slightly right onto a cart track, on which we quickly ascend to the forest. We continue through the forest, where at junctions we follow the blazes, and the path brings us to the fortifications of the former Rapallo border, where the path flattens. A little further we step out of the forest, then in a gentle descent we walk to the asphalt road which we left some time ago, reaching it through the courtyard of the nearby house.
When we step onto the road we continue in the direction of Ermanovec, and the path first leads past an information board (Trail along the Rapallo border), a little further also past an old chapel, behind which a marked path from Kopačnica joins from the left.
We continue straight, then in a few minutes we arrive at the Koča na Ermanovcu hut.
Behind the hut we notice a mountain direction sign for Štor, which directs us slightly to the left onto a footpath that steeply ascends through the forest. The path quickly flattens and brings us out of the forest onto a panoramic meadow, where the blazes end. Here we continue right into the dense forest and continue the ascent on a gentle unmarked path, on which in 2 minutes of further walking we arrive at the indistinct and forest-covered summit.
