Path description:
From the intersection 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 the 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 up we arrive in a strip of forest, 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. Paul, which is located on a panoramic rise.
