Cerkno - Sveti Duh (Labinje)

Access to starting point:
A) From the regional road Idrija - Tolmin, at the settlement Straža in the hamlet Želin at the traffic-light crossroads we turn right in the direction of Cerkno (if coming from the direction of Tolmin we turn left). Further on, we drive through the valley of the river Cerknica, past the Petrol gas station all the way to Cerkno, where at the crossroads behind the church of St. Jernej (by the church there is also a cemetery and a parking lot) we continue left in the direction of Železniki, ski slope Cerkno, hospital Franja and the center of Cerkno. At the next marked crossroads we continue left in the direction of the settlement Zakojca and Gorje. If we have not parked already by the church earlier, we can do so a little further from the NOB monument on one of the parking lots in Cerkno.
B) From the road Škofja Loka - Žiri, after the settlement Trebija we turn right in the direction of Sovodenj and Cerkno (from the direction of Žiri still before Trebija we turn left), from where we first drive to Sovodenj, and from there over the pass Kladje (the pass is located in the settlement Podlanišče) we start descending towards Cerkno. In Cerkno at the first larger crossroads we continue straight (to the right we come to the center of the town and to the church of St. Ana), then in the second one, about 300 m further, we turn right in the direction of Železniki, ski slope Cerkno, hospital Franja and the center of Cerkno. At the next marked crossroads we continue left in the direction of the settlement Zakojca and Gorje and then park on one of the parking lots in Cerkno.
C) From the road Škofja Loka - Podbrdo, at the place Zali Log we continue left in the direction of Davča and ski slope Cerkno (if coming from the direction of Podbrdo or Soriška planina, at the end of the settlement we continue right). The road ahead first ascends to Davča, and from there it starts descending towards Cerkno. In the center of Cerkno, at the post office we turn right, then a little behind the NOB monument we park at a suitable place.

Path description:
From the center of Cerkno we continue in the direction of Zakojca and Gorje, where we walk on the sidewalk; at the NOB monument we go right over the bridge across the stream Zapoška. We continue along Jerebova ulica, where we pass the hair salon Monika, then the signs for Trebenče and hospital Franja direct us left onto a narrower street (Pot na Brce). When a passage onto a paved path opens to the right, we continue on it, ascending above Cerkno, accompanied by the paved path all the way to the larger NOB monument.
Behind the monument we continue on a cart track, which ascends over a partly grassy slope; after the transmitters we reach an asphalt road. We continue straight on the initially still asphalted road, which higher up brings us to another house. Behind the house we continue on the marked hiking path, a little further bypassing yet another house on the right side. We continue uphill in the direction of hospital Franja, and the path leads us through the forest for some time. When we leave the forest we continue left and ascend on the cart track to the settlement Labinje, where the path splits.
To the left upwards the path continues towards Porezen, while we continue right downwards in the direction of hospital Franja.
On the road we descend moderately for approximately 100 meters, then at the unmarked crossroads we continue slightly left upwards on an unmarked road, and on it in a few minutes we reach the church of the Holy Spirit.
