Path description:
From the crossroad, we head onto the road in the direction of Idrija, along the road we walk some 10 meters, then on a concrete retaining wall we notice mountaineering markers for Bevkov vrh, which direct us sharply left onto the road that ascends to the nearby homestead. At the homestead we continue through the yard, behind the house we go right and ascend to the nearby hayrack, where we go slightly left, so that subsequently we ascend diagonally to the right across the meadow. Higher we arrive in a forest belt, then we also go past the house to which no road leads. Above the house the path returns to the forest and begins to ascend more steeply. For some time we ascend steeply through the forest, then we reach an asphalt road, which we follow to the left. The road soon becomes macadam, from it we go slightly right and ascend to the church of St. Pavel, which is located on a panoramic rise.
From the church we descend along the ridge to the nearby homestead, which we bypass on the left side, behind the house the markers direct us right and we ascend across the meadow. The path quickly enters the forest, where on the left side we bypass Straža (548 m), on the other side of the hill we reach a wider cart track, which we follow northeast and continue walking along an occasionally panoramic ridge. When after some time the cart track forks, we continue on the right cart track, along which we soon notice markers (straight or left we can reach Lajše on an unmarked path). A short traverse follows and we already reach the macadam road, which we follow to the right, along it with nice views we reach the homestead Trbovje.
Behind the homestead we continue on the cart track, which enters the forest and gradually begins to descend. For a few minutes we descend diagonally, then near Zaganjalka we reach the macadam road.
From Zaganjalka we continue on the road, which crosses to the other side of the stream and ascends diagonally to the right. After a few minutes of diagonal ascent we arrive at the homestead Zakrog, where behind the house we go left and then immediately right onto the cart track, which ascends diagonally across the meadow. Higher the cart track turns slightly left and gradually levels out, at the homestead Krog we temporarily step onto the road.
After a few steps we leave the macadam road and head onto the cart track path that leads toward the neighboring house, still before the house we go slightly left onto the grassy cart track, which ascends diagonally across the grassy slope. Higher we temporarily enter the forest for some time, at the next homestead we continue left and continue along the macadam road. The gentle macadam road brings us in a few minutes of walking across the meadow to the intersection, where we join the marked path from the pass Kladje.
Here we go right in the direction of Bevkov vrh and homemade cheese, but we quickly arrive at the farm Na Ravan on the asphalt road, where they sell homemade cheese, and here a few steps before the farm we continue left onto the cart track, which continues behind the houses. The cart track quickly turns into a footpath, which then ascends up the pasture, higher we reach a somewhat wider cart track, which ascends diagonally to the right. At the entrance to the forest we notice a larger marker that resembles a traffic sign, the cart track here enters the forest and turns left. When we step out of the forest again we notice another large marker, which is helpful on the descent. Along the cart track we continue to the pasture fence, then along it to the chapel, which is located by the power line.
From the chapel, where there is the SPP stamp and the logbook box, we continue left in the direction of Sovodnja. Less than 10 minutes of walking follows 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.
