Jazne (Kanavc) - Bevkov vrh

Access to starting point:
A) First, we drive to Gorenja vas in the Poljanska valley (to here from Škofja Loka, new bypass which bypasses Škofja Loka, Horjul or Polhov Gradec), then we continue driving towards Žiri and Cerkno. After the settlement Trebija and just before the bridge over Poljanska Sora, we leave the main road towards Žiri and continue driving right in the direction of Cerkno. Further on, we drive on a somewhat more winding road, on which we quickly arrive at the settlement Sovodenj, where in the middle of the settlement we turn left onto the road which continues between the fire station and the cooperative home. Further on, we drive on the road which leads us along the stream Javorščica; after the settlement Koprivnik, at the smaller junction we continue right in the direction of Jazne-Otalež (straight: Ledine, Javorjev dol, Mrzli vrh and Sivka). From the mentioned junction, we drive past Lanišar (beginning of the path to Sivka on SPP) to a smaller saddle between the divide between Idrijca and Poljanska Sora, where there are hiking signposts and next to them a wooden cross and junction. We park nearby on an appropriate place by the road (best about 100 m before the saddle).
B) We drive to Žiri (to here from Vrhnika or Logatec), then we continue driving towards Škofja Loka. Before the settlement Trebija we turn left onto the road in the direction of Cerkno. Further on, we drive on a somewhat more winding road, on which we quickly arrive at the settlement Sovodenj, where in the middle of the settlement we turn left onto the road which continues between the fire station and the cooperative home. Further on, we drive on the road which leads us along the stream Javorščica; after the settlement Koprivnik, at the smaller junction we continue right in the direction of Jazne-Otalež (straight: Ledine, Javorjev dol, Mrzli vrh and Sivka). From the mentioned junction, we drive past Lanišar (beginning of the path to Sivka on SPP) to a smaller saddle between the divide between Idrijca and Poljanska Sora, where there are hiking signposts and next to them a wooden cross and junction. We park nearby on an appropriate place by the road (best about 100 m before the saddle).
C) We leave the main road Idrija–Straža–Želin at the turn-off for the settlement Jazne, then we ascend to the mentioned settlement, from which we continue driving towards Sovodenj. A little higher we arrive at a small saddle, where to the left branches off the marked path towards Bevkov vrh, straight ahead the road continues towards Sovodenj. At the saddle, where the described path begins, there are signposts, a wooden cross and a smaller junction. We park nearby on an appropriate place by the road (best about 100 m further in the direction of Sovodenj).

Path description:
From the starting point we continue in the direction of Bevkov vrh, the road towards the nearby homestead Kanavc we leave already after a few steps, as the blazes direct us slightly left onto the path which continues along the left edge of the meadow. After a few minutes of moderate ascent we return to the asphalt road, along which we still continue in the direction of Bevkov vrh. The asphalt road higher flattens and even descends slightly. At the point where the asphalt road turns somewhat to the right, we continue slightly left onto a wider cart track which leads across the panoramic grassy slope. With nice views on the Idrija hills we quickly arrive at a marked junction, where from the right the path from Sovodenj – path on SPP joins us, and we continue straight along the cart track which first turns slightly right, higher sharply left. Slightly higher we reach a macadam road, follow it right, then behind the nearby residential house continue left onto the marked cart track. Follows ascent across panoramic hay meadows, where along the path we notice a radio with solar power plant. When the hay meadows become steeper, before the power line pylon the marked path which runs along the cart track turns slightly left and transitions to somewhat steeper slopes, across which it ascends diagonally through the forest. The forest ends quickly and the panoramic path again turns somewhat right, where at a few smaller junctions we follow the blazes. Somewhat higher the path brings us to abandoned houses, above them we quickly arrive at a walled chapel, beside which there is the SPP stamp.
From the chapel, where there are the SPP stamp and the logbook box, we continue right in the direction of Sovodenj. 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.
