Access to starting point:
From Škofja Loka we drive towards Gorenja vas and further to Hotavlje, where we turn right in the direction of village Leskovica. The road then soon brings us in Kopačnica, where we notice signs for Ermanovec, which point us to the left over a bridge. Because by the starting point, there aren't any appropriate parking spots, it is better to drive with a car a little upwards on a narrower road which through the hamlet Kopačnica brings us into ditch of the stream Podkovščica. We park above the village on an appropriate place by the road.
To the starting point, we can also come from the direction Žiri and Cerkno.
Path description:
Above the village, the road, by which we've parked gradually changes into a cart track which is moderately ascending by the stream Podkovščica. Cart track on which we walk few times crosses the mentioned stream and then by the gable of the ditch, turns sharply to the left, where it also ascends a little steeper. The path ahead is few minutes ascending diagonally, and then it brings us on a wide indistinct ridge, where it again turns to the right. We further follow the blazes, and the path in a moderate ascent through the forest brings us to the near forest road which we follow to the right (at the spot, where we step on the road there aren't any blazes).
We continue the ascent on the more and more panoramic road which with nice views on Blegoš and surrounding hills brings us to the homestead Erženovše. Above the farm macadam replaces the asphalt, and after 3 minutes of additional walking, we get to a marked crossroad, by which we notice a bigger chapel.
From the crossroad, which is situated in the main ridge of 1005 meters high Štor, we continue left in the direction of the mountain hut Dom na Ermanovcu, and we reach it after 5 minutes of additional walking.
Behind the mountain hut, we notice a mountain signpost for Štor, which points us slightly towards the left, on a footpath which ascends steeply through the forest. The path quickly flattens and it brings us out of the forest on a panoramic meadow, where the blazes end. Here we go right into a dense forest and we continue the ascent on a gently sloping unmarked footpath, on which in 2 minutes of additional walking, we get to indistinct and with a forest covered peak.
