Path description:
From the crossroad, we go on the road in the direction of Idrija, and by the road, we walk few 10 meters, after that on a concrete retaining wall we notice signposts for Bevkov vrh, which point us sharply left, on the road which ascends to the nearby homestead. At the homestead, we continue through the yard, and behind the house we go right and we ascend to the nearby hayrack, where we go slightly left, so that we then ascend through a meadow diagonally towards the right. Higher, we get into a lane of a forest and then we go also past the house to which doesn't lead any road. Above the house, the path returns into the forest and starts ascending steeper. For some time we are steeply ascending through the forest and then we reach an asphalt road which we follow to the left. The road soon becomes a macadam, and from there we go slightly right and we ascend to the church of St. Pavel, which is situated on a panoramic hill.
From the church on a ridge we descend to the nearby homestead, which we bypass on the left side, and behind the house, blazes point us to the right and we ascend through a meadow. The path quickly passes into the forest, where on the left side we bypass Straža (548 meters), and on the other side of the hill, we reach a wider cart track which we follow towards the northeast and further we walk on an occasionally panoramic ridge. When after some time the cart track splits, we continue on the right cart track, by which we soon notice blazes (straight or left we can on an unmarked path get to Lajše). Next follows a short crossing and we already reach the macadam road which we follow to the right, and there with nice views, we reach homestead Trbovje.
Behind the homestead, we continue on a cart track which passes into the forest and gradually starts descending. Few minutes we are descending diagonally, after that near Zaganjalka we reach the macadam road.
From Zaganjalka we continue on the road which passes on the other side of the stream and ascends diagonally towards the right. After few minutes of a diagonal ascent, we get to homestead Zakrog, where we go behind the house left and then immediately right on a cart track which ascends diagonally through a meadow. Higher, the cart track turns a little to the left and gradually flattens, and at homestead Krog we for some time step on the road.
After few steps, we leave the macadam road and go on a cart track which leads towards the neighbouring house, and still before the house, we go slightly left on a grassy cart track which ascends diagonally through a grassy slope. Higher, we for some time pass into the forest, and at the next homestead, we go left and we continue on the macadam road. A gentle macadam road in few minutes of walking through a meadow brings us to a crossroad, where we join the marked path from the mountain pass Kladje.
Here we go right in the direction of Bevkov vrh and homemade cheese, and on the asphalt road we quickly get to the farm Na Ravan, where they sell homemade cheese, and here few steps before the farm we continue left on a cart track which continues behind the houses. Cart track quickly changes into a footpath which then ascends on the pasture upwards, and higher we reach a little wider cart track which ascends diagonally towards the right. By the entrance into the forest, we notice a big blaze, which resembles a traffic sign, and the cart track here passes into the forest and turns to the left. When we again step out of the forest we notice one more big blaze, which helps us at the descent. On the cart track, we continue to a grazing fence, after that next to it to the chapel, which is situated by the power line.
From the chapel, where there are a stamp of SPP and inscription box, we continue left in the direction of Sovodenj. Next follows a little less than 10 minutes of walking on a partly panoramic ridge of Bevkov vrh. When the path passes into the forest, to the top of Bevkov vrh separates us only few steps of walking.
