Access to starting point:
A) From Ljubljana or Kranj we drive to Škofja Loka, from where we continue towards Gorenja vas. In Gorenja vas we continue right in the direction of Cerkno and Žiri. The road then runs past village Trebija behind which we turn right in the direction of Cerkno (left Žiri). We follow this road to the village Sovodenj, where we park on a parking lot between the store and the fire station.
B) From Tolmin we drive to Cerkno and we follow the road ahead towards Škofja Loka. When we come to the village Sovodenj we park on a parking lot between the store and the fire station.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue on the left road which leads us past the fire station. And after few steps of walking at snack bar marked road branches off right upwards in the direction of Bevkov vrh. The road at first steeply ascends and after the first sharp left turn loses an asphalt covering. The steepness of the road then decreases and a little ahead brings us to the spot, where marked cart track branches off right upwards. The turn-off is poorly marked!
Cart track at first ascends through the forest and then on grassy slopes brings us to the village, where we come on the road. We continue right and the path soon brings us to the crossing, where we continue right in the direction of Bevkov vrh on the ridge (steep path). We continue on a cart track which has quite a few crossings, but they are well marked. Cart track then brings us into the forest, where it turns into a footpath. The path which occasionally relatively steeply ascends soon brings us on a forested Bevkov vrh.
If we want to come to the stamp we have to descend on grassy slopes in the direction of Ermanovec (5min). Stamp is situated on a panoramic ridge at the chapel.
