Cerkno - Veliki vrh (Lajše) (on unmarked path)

Access to starting point:
We drive to Cerkno, where we park on a parking lot by the crossroad near the fire station Cerkno. We can also park a little away on a parking lot by the cemetery or somewhere else in Cerkno.

Path description:
From the parking lot near the fire station we continue by the main road towards Žiri and Škofja Loka, where we at first cross the stream Cerknica, and then we quickly get to a smaller crossroad, where a side road branches off to the left, and from the mentioned crossroad we continue right on a beaten footpath which only a little further turns right and it ascends diagonally over the slope. A little further, the path, by which we can notice few old blue-yellow blazes, turns left and it ascends to an asphalt road. We continue the ascent on the mentioned road which is called Gozdarska pot (Forest path), and there we continue to the spot, where signs for gozdarski vrt (forest garden) point us sharply left on a macadam road. Further, we are ascending on the forest road, when signs of hiking path number 3 point us left in the direction of gozdarski vrt (forest garden), we stay on the road and we are ascending there to a storage of logs, where driving road ends.
Here we go left where also sign on a tree is pointing to and we ascend on a steeper cart track, on which in few minutes we come out of the forest. On the meadow the cart track splits, and we continue on the right one, which through the meadow passes into the forest. Next follows a diagonal ascent towards the right, and we are ascending on the northern slopes of Veliki vrh. Higher, we cross the route of a high voltage power line, from where a nice view opens up on Porezen, and only a little further we reach the edge of a smaller plateau, where there is a hamlet Lajše.
We bypass houses on the left side and we continue walking on the macadam road which once again leads below the route of a power line. A little further, we get into a smaller valley, through which we ascend to a smaller saddle, where there is a crossing.
We continue sharply left on the road which leads by shrine Lajše (straight mountain pass Kladje, right Bevkov vrh).
If we leave the road we can walk to the nearby shrine with a chapel, Way of the Cross and memorial plaque, otherwise we continue on the road to the nearby quarry, where the path turns left and changes into a cart track. Here the path passes into the forest, and at the smaller crossing, we go right and past transmitters we walk to the nearby peak.
