Sovodenj - Koča na Ermanovcu (razgledna pot)

Access to the starting point:
a) From Ljubljana or Kranj, drive to Škofja Loka, from where you continue to Gorenjska vas. In Gorenjska vas, turn right in the direction of Cerkno and Žiri. The road then takes you past the village of Trebija, after which you turn right in the direction of Cerkno (on the left Žiri). You then follow this road to the village of Sovodenj, where you park in the parking lot between the shop and the firemen's lodge.
b) From Tolmin, take Cerkno and follow the road towards Škofja Loka. When you get to the village Sovodenj, park in the parking lot between the shop and the fire station.

Path description:
From the parking lot, continue along the asphalted road towards Ermanovec and Cerkno. After a few minutes of climbing along the main road, you will reach a marked crossroads where the road to Ermanovec branches off to the right. Take this road, which runs alongside a picturesque stream, and after a few minutes of further walking, you will reach the next crossroads.
Continue straight on (right Ermanovec on the road) along the road which continues along the aforementioned stream. The road then crosses the stream via a small bridge and leads us past a small hamlet to a marked crossroads.
Continue sharp left in the direction of Ermanovec along the scenic route (straight Ermanovec through the Miklavže ravine). Continue along the cart track, which soon passes out of the forest onto the grassy slopes. Slightly higher up, the path leads us to a small hamlet at which we also step onto a road along which we then continue our ascent. The road then leads us past a small cross to a crossroads where we continue right in the direction of Ermanovec. The road, which continues to climb slightly, quickly leads us to the next crossroads, where we continue straight on (direction Ermanovec).
From the deteriorating road, just a little further on, a marked cart track branches off to the right, crossing a shorter lane of forest. The cart track, which only crosses the slopes, then passes into a slightly larger clearing beyond which it leads into a dense forest. Cart track then starts to climb, passes higher out of the forest and leads us to a tarmac road which we then climb.
Here, the path through Miklavževo grapo soon joins us from the right. The road then leads us past a small hamlet to a crossroads near the Ermanovec hut. Here we continue to the left (right top of Ermanovec) and after a few further steps we reach the aforementioned mountain hut.
