Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we go to the exit Ljubelj (Tržič), and then just before the gas station at Bistrica pri Tržiču, we turn right in Tržič. Ahead we drive through Tržič in the direction of Dolžanova soteska, after that only a little before the end of the town we continue right upward in the direction of village Čadovlje, Lom and Grahovše. On an ascending road at the crossroads we follow the signs for mountain hut Dom pod Storžičem, and we follow it to a large marked parking lot by quarry in Grahovše.
Path description:
At the beginning of the parking lot signs for Konjščica point us to the left on a narrower and ascending road. The road soon ascends above the village, after that partly through the forest, and partly with a view on the ridge of Kriška gora brings us to the farm Uskovnik, where the road ends. Here we continue among houses, on the path which goes into the forest and is then ascending diagonally above the stream. A little higher we cross the mentioned stream, after that marked path turns to the left and it brings us out of the forest on a panoramic meadow. Here we ascend past decaying wooden cottage, above which we step on a steep forest road. The road we only cross and we continue the ascent in the direction of homestead Tič. Only few 10 meters higher from the left joins the marked path from Lom pod Storžičem, and we continue straight and in good 10 minutes of additional walking, we get to the farm Pri Tiču.
Here we continue right and we short time continue on the road, and then blazes point us slightly to the left on a marked footpath which only a little higher returns on the road. We continue for some time on the road, where from the right joins also the path from the farm Pavšel. With nice views on the ridge of Kriška gora, only a little higher from the mentioned crossing we get to wooden log cabin, where the road ends (area is called Na Vršeh).
Here we continue slightly left on at first a little more overgrown path, on which we quickly get to the hunting cottage. We continue through the forest and because of numerous smaller crossings we carefully follow the blazes. A moderately steep path higher ascends steeper for a short time and only a little higher brings us to a forest road. We follow the road to the left, and we walk there only few meters, because then blazes and signpost point us to the right on an ascending footpath. The path ahead at first ascends on a slope straight upwards and then turns to the left and higher returns on the road right next to a viewpoint "Na Boštu" (viewpoint is from the marked path distant less than 5 minutes). When we step on the road, we continue right and after approximately 10 minutes of additional walking, we step out of the forest on the mountain pasture Spodnja Konjščica.
