Cerkno - Škofje (on unmarked path)

Access to starting point:
From the road Idrija - Tolmin we drive to Cerkno, where we park on one of the parking lots in the center, or periphery of the town (best near the church of St. Ana).

Path description:
From the church of St. Ana in Cerkno, past the snack bar Okrepčevalnica pr' Jušku and store Merkur we walk to the street Pot v Strano, where there is the beginning of the marked path which leads towards Planina pri Cerknem, Škofje and Ermanovec. We go on the mentioned street upwards, and after few meters we continue on the right road which starts ascending steeper. The road at the last house ends, and we continue on a cart track which is diagonally ascending. Blazes soon lead left, and the path brings us on a panoramic grassy slope, from which a nice view opens up towards Cerkno and surrounding hills.
We still continue on a cart track, and at the crossings we follow the signs of the mountain path number 5. A moderately steep path is slowly moving away from Cerkno, and with nice views on surroundings it quickly brings us to an asphalt road which we only cross. We continue the ascent in the same direction, and further we are ascending on a worse cart track, on which in few minutes of additional walking, we get to the village Planina pri Cerknem.
Through the village, in the middle of which stands the church of St. John the Baptist, we walk on a diagonally-ascending cart track which few times crosses the asphalt road, and in doing so, we go through several yards. Above the bottom part of the village, we get to a macadam road, on which in few minutes we walk to a smaller crossroad. We continue left and we are ascending on a narrower asphalt road which leads towards the "last" house, and the asphalt road we leave still before we get to the "last" house and we go left on at first a wide unmarked cart track. When a little higher, the cart track ends, we continue straight, where through the meadow we notice a footpath, on which we cross to the entrance into the forest, where the footpath becomes more distinct, and there we ascend to the western ridge of Škofje, where from the left joins also a worse unmarked footpath (the footpath starts above the settlement Čeplez).
We continue on the ridge and higher we cross a marked road. Above the road, the path still leads on the ridge and is steeply ascending. A little higher from the right also joins an unmarked path from Planina pri Cerknem, and we follow a steep path all the way to bivouac on Škofje.
From the bivouac in few 10 strides we walk to a viewpoint, from which a nice view opens up towards Planina pri Cerknem and surrounding hills and where we return on a marked path.
We continue slightly left and on a panoramic grassy slope we are slightly to moderately ascending. Higher, we get closer to the forest, and blazes a little ahead lead left into a thin forest, through which we continue to the nearby peak.
