Kopačnica - Bevkov vrh

Access to starting point:
A) First, we drive to Gorenja vas in the valley Poljanska dolina (to here from Škofja Loka, new bypass road which bypasses Škofja Loka Horjul or Polhov Gradec), and then we continue driving towards Žiri and Cerkno. When we get to Hotavlje we turn right in the direction of village Leskovica and ski slope Cerkno. The road then soon brings us in Kopačnica, where we notice signs for Ermanovec, which point us to the left over a bridge. Because by the starting point, there aren't any appropriate parking spots, it is better to drive with a car a little upwards on a narrower road which through the hamlet Kopačnica brings us into ditch of the stream Podkovščica. We park above the village on an appropriate place by the road.
B) We drive to Žiri (to here from Vrhnika or Logatec), and then we continue driving towards Škofja Loka. When we get to Hotavlje we turn left in the direction of village Leskovica and ski slope Cerkno. The road then soon brings us in Kopačnica, where we notice signs for Ermanovec, which point us to the left over a bridge. Because by the starting point, there aren't any appropriate parking spots, it is better to drive with a car a little upwards on a narrower road which through the hamlet Kopačnica brings us into ditch of the stream Podkovščica. We park above the village on an appropriate place by the road.

Path description:
Above the village, the road, by which we've parked gradually changes into a cart track which is moderately ascending by the stream Podkovščica. Cart track on which we walk few times crosses the mentioned stream and then by the gable of the ditch, turns sharply to the left, where it also ascends a little steeper. The path ahead is few minutes ascending diagonally, and then it brings us on a wide indistinct ridge, where it again turns to the right. We further follow the blazes, and the path in a moderate ascent through the forest brings us to the near forest road which we follow to the right (at the spot, where we step on the road there aren't any blazes).
We continue the ascent on the more and more panoramic road which with nice views on Blegoš and surrounding hills brings us to the homestead Erženovše. Above the farm macadam replaces the asphalt, and after 3 minutes of additional walking, we get to a marked crossroad, by which we notice a bigger chapel.
From the crossroad, which is situated in the main ridge of 1005 meters high Štor, we continue right (left Koča na Ermanovcu - 5 minutes) on a quite panoramic asphalt road, on which in few minutes we get to the information board of Rapallo border and renovated border stone from the year 1920.
Few strides further signs for hospital Franja point us to the right, on a macadam road which leads us through the yard of the nearby house. On the other side of the house, we continue left on a cart track, on which over a grassy slope we pass into the forest. Through the forest at few crossings we follow the blazes, and the path after the building from the time of Rapallo border starts visibly descending. Lower, the path brings us out of the forest, from where a nice view opens up on Škofje. Few more strides lower, at the hamlet of few houses, we step on an asphalt road which leads from Koča na Ermanovcu towards the mountain pass Kladje, and we follow it to the right. Few 10 strides ahead marked path branches off to the right towards Škofje and hospital Franja, and we continue on the road which leads us alternately through panoramic meadow, and partly through the forest, and in doing so leads us past few individual houses. Lower from the right also the other path from Škofje and hospital Franja joins, and past few houses we get to a marked crossing on the mountain pass Kladje, which is situated in the settlement Podlanišče.
From the mountain pass Kladje on Podlanišče we continue in the direction of temple Lajše, Bevkov vrh and Sivka and at first, we continue on the asphalt road. For a short time, we walk on the road, and then at the smaller crossroad, still before the road passes into the forest, we continue to the left road, and from there immediately right on a footpath which ascends between the both roads and goes into the forest. Through the forest, we are at first ascending on a cart track, and then blazes point us a little to the right on a marked footpath which higher crosses few cart tracks. When higher at woodpile we reach a wider cart track, we continue there, and without large changes in altitude it brings us out of the forest, few minutes ahead also to an asphalt road which we follow to the right. On the road in few steps we get to a smaller saddle, where there is a marked crossroad.
From the crossroad, we continue left in the direction of Bevkov vrh and homemade cheese. At the next crossroads, we follow the signs for homemade cheese, and meanwhile the road descends for approximately 50 altitude meters. Lower the road flattens, and from the right also the marked path from Želin joins. And few 10 strides ahead we get to the farm Na Ravan, where it is possible to buy some milk products, and here few steps before the farm we continue left on a cart track which continues behind the houses. Cart track quickly changes into a footpath which then ascends on the pasture upwards, and higher we reach a little wider cart track which ascends diagonally towards the right. By the entrance into the forest, we notice a big blaze, which resembles a traffic sign, and the cart track here passes into the forest and turns to the left. When we again step out of the forest we notice one more big blaze, which helps us at the descent. On the cart track, we continue to a grazing fence, after that next to it to the chapel, which is situated by the power line.
From the chapel, where there are a stamp of SPP and inscription box, we continue left in the direction of Sovodenj. Next follows a little less than 10 minutes of walking on a partly panoramic ridge of Bevkov vrh. When the path passes into the forest, to the top of Bevkov vrh separates us only few steps of walking.
