Jazne (Kanavc) - Bevkov vrh

Access to the starting point:
a) First, drive to Gorenjska vas in the Poljane valley (reachable from Škofja Loka, the new bypass road that bypasses Škofja Loka Horjul or Polhov Gradec), then continue driving towards Žire and Cerkno. After Trebija and just before the bridge over the Poljane Sora River, leave the main road towards Žire and turn right towards Cerkno. Continue along a slightly winding road, which quickly leads to the settlement Sovodenj, where you turn left in the middle of the settlement, onto the road that continues between the fire station and the cooperative home. Continue along the road that leads along the Javorščica stream, and after the Koprivnik settlement, at a small crossroads, turn right in the route Jazne-Otalež (straight ahead Ledine, Javorjev dol, Mrzli vrh and Sivka). From this crossroads, pass Laniše (the start of the route to Sivka on the SPP) to a small pass between the watershed between the Idrijca and the Poljane Sora, where there are mountain direction signs with a wooden cross and a crossroads. Park nearby at a suitable place along the road (preferably about 100 m before the pass).
b) Drive to Žiri (to get here from Vrhnika or Logatec), then continue driving towards Škofja Loka. Before Trebija, turn left onto the road towards Cerkno. Continue along a slightly curvier road, which quickly leads to the settlement Sovodenj, where you turn left in the middle of the settlement onto the road that continues between the fire brigade and the cooperative home. Continue along the road that leads along the Javorščica stream, and after the Koprivnik settlement, at a small crossroads, turn right in the route Jazne-Otalež (straight ahead Ledine, Javorjev dol, Mrzli vrh and Sivka). From this crossroads, pass Laniše (the start of the route to Sivka on the SPP) to a small pass between the watershed between the Idrijca and the Poljane Sora, where there are mountain direction signs with a wooden cross and a crossroads. Park nearby at a suitable place along the road (preferably about 100 m before the pass).
c) Leave the main road Idrija - Straža-Želin at the turnoff for the settlement Jazne, then climb up to the mentioned settlement, from where you continue driving towards Sovodnje. A little higher, you will reach a small pass, where a marked trail to Bevkov vrh branches off to the left, and the road to Sovodnje continues in a straight direction. At the pass where the trail starts there are mountain signs, a wooden cross and a small crossroads. Park nearby at a suitable place along the road (preferably about 100 m further in the direction of Sovodnja).

Path description:
From the starting point continue in the route Bevkov vrh, and leave the road towards the nearby homestead Kanavc after a few steps, as the markings direct us slightly left on the path, which continues along the left edge of the meadow. After a few minutes of moderate ascent, we return to the asphalt road and continue along it in the direction of Bevkov vrhXX. The asphalt road climbs higher and even descends slightly. At the part where the tarmac road turns slightly to the right, we continue slightly to the left, on the wider cart track, which leads across a grassy slope overlooking the view. With fine views of the Idrija hills, we quickly reach a marked crossroads, where the path from Sovodnja - the SPP route - joins us from the right, and we continue straight on, along the cart track, which turns slightly right at first, and sharply to the left higher up. A little higher, you reach a dirt road, follow it to the right, and then, after a nearby residential house, continue left on the marked cart track. Then climb through the hay meadows, where you can see a radio for a solar power station along the way. As the hay meadows become steeper, the marked path before the power line pylon, which follows cart track, turns slightly to the left and passes on to slightly steeper slopes, over which it climbs transversely through the forest. The forest ends quickly and the scenic route turns slightly to the right again, where you can follow signs at a few small crossroads. Slightly higher up, the path leads us to abandoned houses, and above them we quickly reach a brick chapel, next to which is the SPP stamp.
From the chapel, where the SPP stamp and the registration box are located, continue right in the direction of Sovodnja. It is a 10-minute walk along the partially overlooked ridge Bevkov vrh. When the path turns into the forest, we are only a few steps away from the top of Bevkov vrh.
