Kopačnica - Koča na Ermanovcu

Access to the starting point:
From Škofja Loka drive towards Gorenjska vas and on to Hotavlje, where turn right towards Leskovica. The road then soon leads to Kopačnica, where you will see the signs for Ermanovec, which direct you left over a bridge. As there are no suitable parking places at the starting point, it is better to drive the car slightly up the narrower road, which leads us through the hamlet of Kopačnica into the ravine of the Podkovščica stream. Park above the village in a suitable place along the road.
The starting point can also be reached from the route of Žiri and Cerkno.

Path description:
Above the village, the road along which we parked gradually turns into cart track, which climbs moderately along the Podkovščica stream. Cart track crosses the stream a few times and then, after a partial dip in a ravine, turns sharp left, where it also climbs slightly steeper. The path continues for a few minutes cross-climbing, and then leads us to a broad undistinguished ridge, where it turns to the right again. Next, follow the markings, and the path leads us in a moderate climb through the forest to the nearby forest road, which we follow to the right (there are no markings at the point where we step on the road).
The ascent continues along the increasingly scenic road, which, with beautiful views of Blegoš and the surrounding hills, leads us to the homestead Erženovše. Above the farm, macadam is replaced by asphalt, and after 3 minutes of further walking we reach a marked crossroads, at which we see a larger chapel.
From the crossroads, which is located in the main ridge of the 1005 m high Stork, continue left in the direction of Dom na Ermanovcu, which is reached after 5 minutes of further walking.

We can extend the trip to the following destinations: Škofje, Štor ( 5 min), Ermanovec ( 20 min)
