Podlanišče - Štor

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 more winding road, which will quickly take you to the settlement of Sovodenj. From Sovodnja, continue slightly to the right, and we continue to follow the ascending road to the settlement Podlanišče or the Kladje pass, where we park in a suitable place by 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 will quickly take you to the settlement of Sovodenj. From Sovodnja, continue slightly to the right, and follow the ascending road to the settlement Podlanišče or the pass Kladje, where we park in a suitable place by the pass.
c) Drive to Cerkno, and from there continue in the direction of Škofja Loka. Continue along the ascending road, which takes you through Planina pri Cerknem, along a winding road to the Kladje pass, where you park in a suitable place along the road.

Path description:
From the Kladje pass on Podlanišče continue eastwards along the road towards Ermanovec. The road first climbs past a few houses, then reaches a point where the marked trail to Škofje branches off to the left, and we continue along the road. The road continues through the forest for a short distance, then alternately through hay fields and through the forest again, passing a few individual houses. Higher up, in the area called Laniše ravan, the path from Franja Hospital (also the path from Cerkno - the path through Planina pri Cerknem and the path from Škofja) joins us from the left, and just a little further on, at a small hamlet, we continue slightly to the left on the road in the direction of the footpath to Ermanovec. On the macadam road we climb in some 10 steps to a lookout ridge, and there the signs for Ermanovec direct us slightly right to cart track, which we quickly climb up to the forest. Continue through the forest, following the markings at the crossroads, and the path leads to the fortifications of the former Rapallo border, where the path is laid. A little further on, we leave the forest and then walk downhill to the asphalt road we left some time ago, which we reach through the yard of a nearby house.
Once on the road, we continue towards Ermanovec, and the path first leads us past an information board (Path along the Rapallo border), and a little further on past an old chapel, after which we are joined on the left by the marked path from Kopačnice.
Continue straight ahead, and in a few minutes you will reach the Ermanovec Cottage.
Behind the hut we see a mountain direction sign for Štor, which directs us slightly to the left, on a footpath that climbs steeply through the forest. The path quickly lays down and leads us out of the woods to a meadow with a view, where the markings end. Here, continue right into the dense forest and ascend along a gently sloping unmarked path, which, within 2 minutes of further walking, leads to an undistinguished and wooded summit.
