Path description:
From the center of Cerkno we continue in the direction of Zakojca and Gorje, where we walk on a sidewalk, at NOB monument we go right through the bridge over the stream Zapoška. We continue on street Jerebova ulica, where we go past hair salon Monika, and then signs for Trebenče and hospital Franja point us to the left on a narrower street (Pot na Brce). When on the right opens a passage on a paved path, we continue there, and we ascend above Cerkno, and we are accompanied by a paved path all the way to bigger NOB monument.
Behind the monument we continue on a cart track which ascends on a partly grassy slope, and after the transmitters, we reach an asphalt road. We continue straight on at first still asphalted road which higher brings us to another house. Behind the house, we continue on a marked hiking path, and a little further we on the right side bypass another house. We continue uphill in the direction of hospital Franja, and the path for some time leads through the forest. When we leave the forest we continue left and on a cart track we ascend to the settlement Labinje, where the path splits.
Left upwards the path continues towards Porezen, and we continue right downwards in the direction of hospital Franja.
On the road, we are approximately 100 meters moderately descending, and then at the unmarked crossroad we continue slightly left upwards on an unmarked road, and there in few minutes we reach the church of the Holy Spirit.
