Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we go to the exit Ljubelj. From this road before the gas station, we turn right in Tržič. We follow the road ahead through Tržič and on the other side of Tržič we turn right towards Lom pod Storžičem. This road ahead we follow towards signs Dom pod Storžičem. We park on a parking lot few meters before the mountain hut.
Path description:
From the parking lot near the mountain hut Dom pod Storžičem we continue on the left road in the direction of saddle Javorniško sedlo, mountain pasture Javornik, Jezersko, Pavšel, Tič, Tržič and NOB monument. Already after few meters of walking road splits into two parts, and we choose the upper right road (left Tič and monument NOB). We continue on the mentioned road, and after approximately 20 minutes of walking it changes into a cart track. At the spot, where the road changes into a cart track we have two options to continue. We can continue the ascent on a steep and quite overgrown footpath, or on a little less steep cart track which isn't marked, but orientationally even a little easier as marked footpath. Cart track and footpath higher join and bring us on a saddle Javorniški preval, where there is a marked crossing.
Here we continue left (right Kanonir, sharply right Storžič), where after few 10 strides we get to the next crossing. The right path leads towards the saddle Močnikovo sedlo, and we continue on the left path in the direction of the mountain pasture Javornik. The path ahead continues on a wide and gentle cart track which for some time crosses slopes towards the northwest. After few minutes forest gets thinner and an increasingly panoramic path brings us to the mountain pasture Javornik, from which a beautiful view opens up.
