Trebija - Štor (via Ermanovec)

Access to starting point:
From the road Škofja Loka - Žiri, in the settlement Trebija we turn right (from the direction Žiri left) towards the center of the settlement, where we park on a parking lot in front of the fire station.

Path description:
From the fire station we continue on the road which passes the chapel and house, where fire brigade Trebija was established, brings us to a crossroad, at which there is a cross.
From the crossroad, we continue left (straight - the road towards Stara Oselica and Ermanovec) and on the road which offers nice views towards Trebija, we ascend to the nearby farm, where on the yard the blazes point us to the right, on the path which continues below the projecting roof. The path ahead leads for a short time on a cart track, then by the edge of the forest we ascend into the forest, where an overgrown, but quite well-marked path appears. A little higher we reach the cart track and we follow it to the right, and from there we soon go left and we ascend to another cart track which we also follow to the right. When we reach an asphalt road, we go left, and we ascend along it to the homestead Burnik, where behind the structure on the left side, we go left. Next follows an ascent on a cart track, and still before we reach the forest, we go right and we diagonally ascend through a meadow and we continue by the forest. A little further blazes point us into the forest, where at the crossings we follow the blazes. When we leave the forest along the grazing fence we ascend to homestead Frjan, after which we again reach an asphalt road. The road on which we continue soon turns right, and before the next homestead signs for Ermanovec and Sovodenj point us sharply to the left. Next follows an ascent on a somewhat narrower asphalt road, where at the smaller crossroad we go slightly right, and we walk along it to its end, where signs for Ermanovec point us into the forest. Next follows a shorter ascent through the forest and then the footpath leads across an increasingly panoramic grassy slope. Higher, we reach a grassy cart track, and at the smaller fork, we go right and we ascend to the grassy Vrhovčev grič (also Vrhovski grič).
On the other side of the peak there are also some antennas.
From the antennas we descend to the hunting observatory, where we return to the cart track, which we follow to the right, along which we easily descend to the marked junction, where the path from Hotavlje joins from the right.
We continue straight (slightly left Koča na Ermanovcu - path which bypasses the peak of Ermanovec, right - Hotavlje) and we ascend along and beside an indistinct ridge. During the ascent some views occasionally open up, otherwise the partly forested path brings us to the summit of Ermanovec in a few minutes of further walking, from where a nice view also opens up on the Julian Alps.
On Ermanovec we step out of the forest, and we continue left and descend more steeply to a cart track, where we join the path which bypassed the peak of Ermanovec. We continue right and through a panoramic meadow we lightly descend to a crossroad and a marked junction at the chapel and bell.
We continue in the direction of Dom na Ermanovcu (left - road which descends to Sovodenj, right - Hotavlje and along the road also Trebija) and continue walking on a gently sloping asphalt road, to which a little further a marked path from Sovodenj joins.
From the mentioned junction only some 10 steps of easy walking follow and we arrive at Dom na Ermanovcu.
At the hut we notice a mountaineering signpost for Štor, which directs us to a footpath that steeply ascends through the forest. The path soon levels out and brings us from the forest to a panoramic meadow, where the blazes end. Here we continue right into dense forest and continue the ascent along a gently sloping unmarked path, along which in 2 minutes of further walking we arrive at the indistinct and forest-covered summit.
