Dom pod Storžičem - Storžič (via Psica)

Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we go to the exit Ljubelj (Tržič), and then we continue driving towards Ljubelj. Just before the gas station in Bistrica pri Tržiču we leave the main road and we continue driving right in the direction of Tržič. Further, we drive through Tržič in the direction of gorge Dolžanova soteska, and then at the end of the town we continue right in the direction of Lom pod Storžičem and Grahovše. At the end of the village Grahovše asphalt ends, and further we follow the macadam road in the direction of the mountain hut Dom pod Storžičem. This in the upper part steeper macadam road, we then follow to the parking lot near the mountain hut Dom pod Storžičem.

Path description:
From the starting point near the mountain hut Dom pod Storžičem we short time continue on the road (direction Storžič), and then we go on parallel mountain path, that is gently ascending by the edge of a meadow. On the upper part of the meadow we get to a smaller wooden cottage, where the path splits into two parts. We choose the slightly right path (left Storžič through Žrelo and over Škarjev rob), which continues on and by relatively steep cart track. The path higher flattens a little and turns to the right. Further, we are for some time ascending diagonally towards the right, and then we get by the edge of steep gully, through which we diagonally ascend to the nearby wide cart track which we reach right at its end. The mentioned cart track we immediately leave and we continue slightly left in the forest. We for some time continue through the forest, on the path which is for some time descending gently, and then we get to a smaller crossing, from where we continue in the direction of Mala Poljana.
From the crossing ahead, the path again starts ascending, and it all the time crosses slopes towards the right. Higher, we reach the cart track, on which we quickly walk to near Mala Poljana.
From Mala Poljana, where joins the path from Zalog, we continue left in the direction of Velika Poljana. The path which ahead runs on a cart track, quickly goes into the forest, through which it is then ascending diagonally. After few minutes of walking, we come to panoramic slopes, from which a nice view opens up on surrounding mountains. Only a little further, the cart track turns to the right and after a short ascent, it brings us on the upper edge of Velika Poljana, where there is a marked crossing.
We continue left in the forest on the path in the direction of Storžič over Psica (straight cottage on Velika Poljana). The path starts quite steeply ascending and then turns slightly to the right and the steepness decreases a little. Such a path soon brings us out of the forest and to a crossing. We go left on the path over Psica, and right leads an easier path on Storžič.
From the crossroad path at first runs on a grassy terrain by dwarf pines and rare trees, after that goes again in the forest and starts ascending steeply. On some spots, the path is also slightly exposed. Next follows an ascent on a grassy slope by rare dwarf pines to the panoramic ridge. For some time we are ascending on increasingly exposed ridge and then we come on an indistinct peak Psica. From the top, we slightly descend and then we continue on exposed ridge. Further, the path on the ridge quite few times ascends and descends and we also get help from some fixed safety gear. Later from the left joins the path through Žrelo, and we still continue on the path by the ridge. In the last part of the path, we few times steeply ascend, there are also some fixed safety gear for help. A little below the summit from the right joins also the easiest path on Storžič, which leads over mountain pasture Javornik. Next, only a shorter ascent on the upper slope of Storžič follows, and we reach the peak in few minutes.
