Podlanišče - Bevkov vrh

Access to starting point:
A) First, we drive to Gorenja vas in the valley Poljanska dolina (to here from Škofja Loka, new bypass road which bypasses Škofja Loka Horjul or Polhov Gradec), and then we continue driving towards Žiri and Cerkno. After the settlement Trebija and just before the bridge through Poljanska Sora, we leave the main road towards Žiri and we continue driving right in the direction of Cerkno. Further, we drive on a little more winding road, on which we quickly get to the settlement Sovodenj. From Sovodenj we continue slightly right, and we still follow the ascending road to the settlement Podlanišče or mountain pass Kladje, where we park on an appropriate place by the mountain pass.
B) We drive to Žiri (to here from Vrhnika or Logatec), and then we continue driving towards Škofja Loka. Before settlement Trebija we turn left, on the road in the direction of Cerkno. Further, we drive on a little more winding road, on which we quickly get to the settlement Sovodenj. From Sovodenj we continue slightly right, and we still follow the ascending road to the settlement Podlanišče or mountain pass Kladje, where we park on an appropriate place by the mountain pass.
C) We drive to Cerkno, and from there we continue driving in the direction of Škofja Loka. Further, we drive on an ascending road which through Planina pri Cerknem, on a winding road brings us to mountain pass Kladje, where we park on an appropriate place by the road.

Path description:
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.
