Dom pod Storžičem - Velika Poljana (footpath)

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, from where we in few minutes descend to the cottage.
