Sovodenj - Štor (razgledna pot)

Access to starting point:
A) From Ljubljana or Kranj we drive to Škofja Loka, from where we continue towards Gorenja vas. In Gorenja vas we continue right in the direction of Cerkno and Žiri. The road then runs past the village of Trebija, after which we turn right in the direction of Cerkno (left Žiri). We follow this road to the village of Sovodenj, where we park on the parking lot between the Mercator store and the fire station.
B) From Tolmin we drive to Cerkno, and from there we continue driving over the mountain pass Kladje (787 m) towards Škofja Loka. When we come to the village of Sovodenj we park on the parking lot between the store and the fire station.
C) From the highway Ljubljana - Koper we go to the exit Logatec and then we continue driving to Logatec. From the roundabout, where we reach the old road Vrhnika - Postojna, we continue right (direction Vrhnika) and we continue driving on the old road towards Vrhnika, but we drive on it only a few hundred meters, then we turn left on the road in the direction of Rovt and Žiri. Further, we drive on a gradually more and more winding road, which we follow to Žiri. From Žiri we at first still continue driving towards Škofja Loka and Gorenja vas, after that in one of the crossroads we continue sharply left in the direction of Cerkno and Sovodenj. When we get to Sovodenj we park on the parking lot between the Mercator store and the fire station.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue on the asphalt road in the direction of Ermanovec and Cerkno. After a few minutes of ascent on the main road, we get to a marked crossroad, where the road to Ermanovec branches off to the right. We head onto this road, which runs along a scenic stream and after a few minutes of additional walking brings us to the next crossroad.
We continue straight (right Ermanovec on the road) on the road, which still runs along the previously mentioned stream. The road then crosses the stream over a smaller bridge and past a smaller hamlet brings us to a marked junction.
We continue sharply left in the direction of Ermanovec on the panoramic path (straight Ermanovec via Miklavževa grapa). Further, we ascend on a cart track, which soon passes out of the forest onto panoramic grassy slopes. A little higher, the path brings us to a smaller hamlet, where we also step onto the road, on which we then continue the ascent. The road then past a smaller cross brings us to a crossroad, where we continue right in the direction of Ermanovec. The road, which further slightly ascends, quickly brings us to the next crossroad, where we continue straight in the direction of Ermanovec.
From the increasingly poor road, only a little further a marked cart track branches off to the right, which crosses a shorter stretch of forest. The cart track, which only crosses the slopes, then passes onto a somewhat larger clearing, after which it brings us into a dense forest. The cart track then starts to ascend, higher it passes out of the forest and then brings us to an asphalt road, on which we then ascend.
Here the path through Miklavževa grapa soon joins us from the right. The road then past a smaller hamlet brings us to a crossroad near the Koča na Ermanovcu mountain hut. Here we continue left (right peak Ermanovec) and after a few additional steps we get to the mentioned mountain hut.
At the hut we notice a mountain signpost for Štor, which directs us 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 gently sloping unmarked path, on which in 2 minutes of additional walking we arrive at the indistinct and forest-covered peak.
