Spodnja Idrija - Cerkovni vrh (via Vranji greben - Prfarska gamsarica)

Access to the starting point:
From Ljubljana, we drive towards Idrija. When you reach Idrija, turn right at the second semaphore crossroads towards Spodnja Idrija (4 km). As soon as you reach Spodnja Idrija, you will see a chapel on your left and steps leading up to the church. Park here or a few fifty metres further along the main road, turn right at the shop into the parking lot of the community centre.

Path description:
From the chapel, you climb the steps to the Church of Our Lady of the Rock, whose present form dates back to 1674 and whose first references date back to the 12th century. At the church, turn left past the mortuary towards the end of the cemetery, where you reach Šolska grape. Turn right to reach the hayfield where the homestead at Brd was burnt down during World War II. Climb up along a grove of spruce trees towards the ridge. Here you will see the first signpost Cerkovni vrh / Lom. Follow the path along the ridge, always going left above Šolsko grapa.
After about 15 minutes of walking, you will reach a saddle where the path splits. Continue right below Vranji Rob. The path ascends crosswise, we see Spodnja Idrija, later already Spodnja Kanomlja with the industrial zone. Cross two larger ravines, when you reach a yew tree on a large clearing, the path climbs up to meet a forest road, which otherwise leads downhill to the Lom farm. Beware, continue directly on the ridge, following it steeply to the ridge leveling, where you go right and again along the scenic ridge heading south, up and down over the two intermediate peaks. On the right you can see the Lom farm, and on the bottom left Lower Idrija. At the last peak, descend steeply to the saddle where the trail crosses. There is only a 5-minute rocky steep climb and the summit is there.
