Path description:
From the saddle Kladje on Podlanišče we continue on the asphalt road in the direction of Lajše, Bevkov vrh and Sivka. The path at first leads past houses, and behind them marked path on Bevkov vrh branches off to the left, and we go straight and we still continue on the asphalt road. The road then crosses a lane of a forest, after which we get to a panoramic grassy slope. With a view on Škofje, Porezen, Kojca and part of chain Spodnje Bohinjske gore, we walk past a smaller hamlet, and then the road brings us to the smaller crossroad, where we continue right downwards in the direction of shrine on Lajše.
We continue on the macadam road which starts moderately descending, and then when it crosses a lane of a forest it entirely flattens. Here another path branches off to the left on Bevkov vrh, and gentle road that runs through wide meadow quickly brings us to the next crossroad, where we continue right and then after few steps we get to a smaller church (shrine on Lajše), which is situated few 10 meters from the path.
From the shrine we continue on a slightly ascending road, and it brings us to the quarry, where we continue on the left road. The road quickly ascends above the quarry, and then it is slowly turning towards the right. This occasionally more panoramic road, we then follow all the way to the peak, and we reach it after few minutes of additional walking.
On the way: Svetišče na Lajšah (830m)
