Dom pod Storžičem - Stegovnik (western way)

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 in front of the mountain hut we go on the road which goes left in the direction of saddle Javorniško sedlo and mountain pasture Javornik. The road after approximately 20 minutes of walking changes into a cart track. Here we can continue on a marked footpath which is quite abandoned or on a cart track. I recommend walking on a cart track because it is orientationally easier even though it isn't marked. Cart track, which is relatively steeply ascending we follow through the forest to a saddle Javorniško sedlo, where there is a crossing. Left mountain pasture Javornik, right Stegovnik and Mačensko sedlo. We go to the left cart track towards the mountain pasture Javornik (not in the direction of Stegovnik, possible circular path, which is approximately equally long). Cart track ahead in a gentle ascent crosses slopes of Javornik and after 20 minutes of walking, it brings us on the mountain pasture.
On the mountain pasture, we step on the forest road which then in a gentle descent, we follow at first towards the north, and when the road makes a turn, mainly towards the east. After approximately 15 minutes of walking on the road we come to a larger meadow, where there is also a crossroad. Here we leave the road and we continue in the direction of Stegovnik on the path which crosses the mentioned meadow. On the other side of the meadow, the path goes into the forest and continues on a cart track which is mostly slightly descending. Eventually cart track turns into a footpath which is now ascending and then again descending. The path from which only rare views are opening up (mainly on the ridge of Košuta) eventually brings us to a pleasant bench. Ahead path continues through the forest, which occasionally gets interrupted by a clearing, which is overgrown with high grass. And a little further we get to a smaller crossing, where from the right side joins the path from Jezersko (and east path - option to return to the starting point). We continue straight and the path in few additional strides it brings us to the window in Stegovnik.
With the help of a steel cable we ascend to the first window in the middle of which passage opens up left on a ladder downwards. Window then narrows (watch out head) and the path brings us on the other side of the side ridge. And on the other side of the window the path starts ascending steeper and in zig-zags brings us on the ridge of Stegovnik. Next follows 10 more minutes of walking on a panoramic ridge. In the snow the ridge is dangerous for slipping.
We can descend on the eastern path.
