Dolenji Novaki - Sveti Duh (Labinje)

Access to starting point:
A) First, we drive to Cerkno (to here from the road Idrija - Most na Soči, or over the mountain pass Kladje), and then we continue driving in the direction of the ski area Cerkno. Further, we drive past the inn Gačnik (Gostilna v Logu), after that soon signs for the hospital Franja direct us to the left onto a somewhat narrower and ascending asphalt road, which we then follow to the parking lot by the bar Pasice.
B) From Poljanska valley we drive to Hotavlje, and then we follow the signs for the ski area Cerkno. We follow the signs for the ski area Cerkno only to Kopačnica, where from the crossroads, where to the right the road continues towards the ski area and Leskovica, we continue straight ahead onto the road that continues along the stream Podplečica. At the homestead Joškovec, where there is the next confluence, we continue right, after that on a partly macadam road we start to ascend more steeply. At the homestead Mrovlje the road swings to the Primorska side, after some descent we join the main road that leads from Cerkno towards the ski area Cerkno. We follow the road left downhill, and when we notice signs for the hospital Franja, we continue right and ascend on a somewhat narrower road to the parking lot by the bar Pasice.
C) From Selška valley we ascend to Davča, and then we follow the signs for the ski area Cerkno and later signs for Cerkno. When we have already descended to the Primorska side, at the end of the settlement Dolenji Novaki we turn right in the direction of the hospital Franja. A shorter ascent follows and we arrive at the bar Pasice, where we park.

Path description:
From the starting point by bar Pasice we continue in the direction of Porezen and at first we walk on the path which leads also towards hospital Franja. After some 10 meters of walking, the path towards the gorge Pasica turns slightly right, and we continue left and on the road we walk to homestead Podnjivč, where the path leads among houses. Behind the homestead over the footbridge we cross a stream, and then we continue on a wide cart track, which at the junctions we follow in the direction of the blazes. Next follows the traverse of hill Drnova (1004 m), where the path leads with some shorter ascents and descents. When we arrive at the southwest slopes, the path descends a bit more and brings us to the village Poljane, where there is a marked junction.
From the junction we continue straight in the direction of Cerkno and Labinje (right Porezen) and for a short time we continue on a wider cart track, from the turnaround point onwards on a somewhat narrower and occasionally rutted cart track, which first ascends more steeply, then gradually levels out. We quickly leave the forest, and the path then leads us on a gentle cart track that takes us across hayfields and among apple trees. The marked path a little further reaches the edge of village Labinje, where among houses we reach an asphalt road.
Further we ascend through the village, and when we arrive at the crossroads, where from the marked road an unmarked road branches off sharply to the right, we continue on the unmarked one, and on it in a few minutes we reach the church Sv. Duh.
Starting point - Poljane 0:35, Poljane - Labinje 0:20, Labinje - Sv. Duh 0:05.
