Path description:
From the intersection we head onto the road towards Idrija, along the road we walk some 10 meters, then on a concrete retaining wall we notice the mountain 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 then across the hay meadow we ascend transversely to the right. Higher we arrive in a strip of forest, then we go past the house to which no road leads. Above the house the path returns into 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 along the ridge we descend to the nearby homestead, which we bypass on the left side, behind the house the markers direct us right and we ascend across the hay meadow. The path quickly passes into 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 towards the northeast and further walk on an occasionally panoramic ridge. When after some time the cart track splits, 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 Trbovje homestead.
Behind the homestead we continue on the cart track, which passes into the forest and gradually begins to descend. For a few minutes we descend transversely, then near Zaganjalka we reach the macadam road. We cross the road and walk to an interesting karst spring.
Želin - sv. Pavel 0:35, sv. Pavel - Zaganjalka 1:05.
