Path description:
From the crossroad, we go on the road in the direction of Idrija, and by the road, we walk few 10 meters, after that on a concrete retaining wall we notice signposts for Bevkov vrh, which point us sharply left, on the road which ascends to the nearby homestead. At the homestead, we continue through the yard, and behind the house we go right and we ascend to the nearby hayrack, where we go slightly left, so that we then ascend through a meadow diagonally towards the right. Higher, we get into a lane of a forest and then we go also past the house to which doesn't lead any road. Above the house, the path returns into the forest and starts ascending steeper. For some time we are steeply ascending through the forest and then we reach an asphalt road which we follow to the left. The road soon becomes a macadam, and from there we go slightly right and we ascend to the church of St. Pavel, which is situated on a panoramic hill.
From the church on a ridge we descend to the nearby homestead, which we bypass on the left side, and behind the house, blazes point us to the right and we ascend through a meadow. The path quickly passes into the forest, where on the left side we bypass Straža (548 meters), and on the other side of the hill, we reach a wider cart track which we follow towards the northeast and further we walk on an occasionally panoramic ridge. When after some time the cart track splits, we continue on the right cart track, by which we soon notice blazes (straight or left we can on an unmarked path get to Lajše). Next follows a short crossing and we already reach the macadam road which we follow to the right, and there with nice views, we reach homestead Trbovje.
Behind the homestead, we continue on a cart track which passes into the forest and gradually starts descending. Few minutes we are descending diagonally, after that near Zaganjalka we reach the macadam road. We cross the road and we walk to an interesting karst source.
