Cerkno - Bevkov vrh

Access to starting point:
From the road Idrija - Tolmin (possible also through the mountain pass Kladje, Davča, Leskovice...) we drive to Cerkno, where we park on one of the parking lots in the center, or periphery of the town.

Path description:
From Cerkno we continue on the main asphalt road towards Škofja Loka. We some time walk on or by the main road, by which we notice few of rare blazes. And after approximately 20 minutes of not very safe walking (because we walk on winding and occasionally also quite busy main road), the road makes first sharp left turn. Just before the mentioned turn, blazes point us to the right on a side road, on which we get to a smaller hamlet. We walk past few houses, and then an asphalt is changed to a macadam, and we follow the road only few 10 strides, because then blazes point us left on ascending and marked cart track (to here also possible with a car, this shortens the path for a little less than 30 minutes, and at the same time we avoid walking on the main road).
On the cart track, we quickly ascend to the nearby meadow, and on its upper edge marked path turns right in the forest. Next follows few minutes of ascent through a dense forest and then we cross the forest road and we still continue the ascent on a marked path. Higher, we once again cross the road and few cart tracks, and then we get out of the forest, where we get to a smaller wooden cottage. Above the cottage cart track on which we walk turns to the left, and we leave it here and on at first steep grassy slope we ascend to the nearby homestead, where we step on the road. On the road, we walk only for a short time, and then blazes point us to the right on a wide cart track which higher splits into two parts. We continue on the left, which soon entirely flattens, and then in crossing the slopes towards the left brings us to a smaller hamlet. After the hamlet, from which a nice view opens up on surrounding hills, the cart track, or from here ahead worse road, starts moderately ascending and after few minutes of additional walking brings us to the center of the village Podlanišče, where there is a marked crossing.
From the mountain pass Kladje on Podlanišče we continue in the direction of temple Lajše, Bevkov vrh and Sivka and at first, we continue on the asphalt road. For a short time, we walk on the road, and then at the smaller crossroad, still before the road passes into the forest, we continue to the left road, and from there immediately right on a footpath which ascends between the both roads and goes into the forest. Through the forest, we are at first ascending on a cart track, and then blazes point us a little to the right on a marked footpath which higher crosses few cart tracks. When higher at woodpile we reach a wider cart track, we continue there, and without large changes in altitude it brings us out of the forest, few minutes ahead also to an asphalt road which we follow to the right. On the road in few steps we get to a smaller saddle, where there is a marked crossroad.
From the crossroad, we continue left in the direction of Bevkov vrh and homemade cheese. At the next crossroads, we follow the signs for homemade cheese, and meanwhile the road descends for approximately 50 altitude meters. Lower the road flattens, and from the right also the marked path from Želin joins. And few 10 strides ahead we get to the farm Na Ravan, where it is possible to buy some milk products, 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.
Cerkno - Kladje 1:20, Kladje - Bevkov vrh 1:30.
