Dom Pristava in Javorniški Rovt - Ptičji vrh

Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we go to the exit Lipce and follow the road ahead in the direction of Jesenice. When we come to the traffic light crossroad, where we join an old road, we continue right in the direction of Žirovnica. And we follow this road only a short time because at the next little larger crossroad (traffic light) we continue left in the direction of Javorniški Rovt. The road then goes through the underpass (railway) and then turns left (right Koroška Bela). The road that higher starts ascending steeply we follow in the direction of Javorniški Rovt. The mentioned road, we then follow to the parking lot near the mountain hut.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we walk to the mountain hut, and then we continue the ascent on at first poorly visible path, which ascends on the left side of swampy lake. Ahead clearly visible and wide path, after 5 minutes of walking, it brings us to the road, where there is also a crossing.
We go right in the direction of Golica (left Javorniški Rovt, straight Španov vrh and Jelenkamen) and we continue the ascent on the road which at first leads past a larger pond, and then turns to the right and brings us out of the forest. When we step out of the forest, a view towards Struška opens up, Medji dol and part of Belščica. The road which is then moderately ascending, higher returns into the forest and crosses bigger gully, behind which we soon get to a marked crossroad.
Here we leave the road which turns left and continues towards Križovec and we continue straight on less beaten road. From the crossroad, we walk on the road only two more minutes, and then blazes point us to the left on a cart track which starts ascending steeper through the forest. After few minutes of the ascent, the path flattens and out of the forest brings us on meadows of Pusti rovt, where we also join road from Križovec. Here we continue straight on a gently sloping road, on which we quickly get to the near shepherd hut.
From the shepherd hut, we continue on the road, and in the upper part Pusti Rovt it turns right in the forest. And only a little further we come at the marked crossing, where we continue slightly right (left Golica) on a moderately steep path, which only a few meters higher crosses relatively new road which leads to the mountain pasture Belska planina - Svečica. The mentioned road, we only cross and we continue the ascent on a marked path, which soon passes out of the forest on panoramic slopes below the saddle Sedlo Kočna. We continue the ascent past a smaller hunting cottage, behind which we soon come to watering place for animals. Only a short ascent follows and the path brings us on a saddle Sedlo Kočna, from which a nice view opens up on the Austrian side.
On the saddle, we continue left (right Struška) and for a short time, we still continue on a marked path towards Golica. After a shorter gentle ascent marked path avoids the ridge a little to the left, and right on this spot we leave it and we continue the ascent on a poorly visible footpath which continues by the border ridge. The path ahead for a short time a little steeper ascends, and then it slightly flattens and then it continues in a moderate ascent. This path, from which increasingly beautiful views opening up, we then follow all the way to a grassy peak.
