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 asphalt road in the direction of Ermanovec and Cerkno. And after few minutes of the ascent on the main road, we get to a marked crossroad, where the road branches off to the right on Ermanovec. We go on this road, that runs by a scenic stream and after few minutes of additional walking brings us to the next crossroad.
We continue straight (right Ermanovec on the road) on the road which still runs by an earlier mentioned stream. The road then over a smaller bridge crosses the stream and past a smaller hamlet brings us to a marked crossing.
We continue sharply left in the direction of Ermanovec on the path Razgledna pot (straight Ermanovec via Miklavževa grapa). Further, we are ascending on a cart track which soon passes out of the forest on panoramic grassy slopes. A little higher, the path brings us to a smaller hamlet where we also step on the road on which we then continue the ascent. The road then past a smaller cross brings us to a crossroad, where we continue right in the direction of Ermanovec. The road which is further slightly ascending quickly brings us to the next crossroad, where we continue straight (direction Ermanovec).
And from a bad road, only a little further marked cart track branches off to the right, which crosses a shorter lane of a forest. Cart track, which only crosses the slopes, then passes on a little larger clearing after which it brings us into a dense forest. Cart track then starts ascending, higher passes out of the forest and then it brings us to an asphalt road on which we are then ascending.
Here from the right side soon the path through Miklavževa grapa joins. And road then past a smaller hamlet brings us to a crossroad near the mountain hut on Ermanovec.
Here we continue right (left mountain hut on Ermanovec 1 minute) on the road which after 5 minutes of additional walking brings us to the chapel by which there is a bigger bell. At the chapel is also a crossing, where we continue on a cart track in the direction of Ermanovec to which we have 15 more minutes of walking. The path ahead is ascending gently on a cart track which with nice views in 10 minutes brings us on the other side of this panoramic slope. Here the path turns left and it ascends steeper. This cart track we then follow all the way to the top of Ermanovec.
Only few steps before the peak we will notice on the left side a nice vantage point from which a beautiful view opens up.
