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. Further, we drive through Tržič in the direction of Dolžanova soteska, and then in the settlement Slap we continue right upwards in the direction of village Lom pod Storžičem 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, and then partly through the forest, and partly with a view on the ridge of Kriška gora brings us to farms Frona and Uskovnik (Uskovc), 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 and then the marked path turns to the left and it brings us out of the forest on a panoramic meadow, which is called Kožuhovca. 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 also a marked path from Tržič or Lom pod Storžičem on Konjščica (via Potarje), and we continue straight and in good 10 minutes of additional walking, we get to farms Strmc and Tič. Here we continue through the yard of the farm Tič, uphill, and short time we continue on the road, and then blazes point us slightly to the left on a marked footpath. If there is a lot of snow and footpath isn't beaten, we can continue just on the road, because the footpath above pastures also returns on the road. We continue on the road through the forest to the next pasture, 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 a wooden log cabin, where the path on 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 a wooden cottage, Potarje 44. We continue uphill, through the forest, we cross the forest road, we then continue at first right, and then left, where the footpath for a short time moderately ascends. Because of numerous smaller crossings we carefully follow the blazes. We cross a stream, then the footpath joins with the cart track, and above a smaller clearing, the path 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 the slope a little to the right, then straight upwards, and on a rocky landslide it turns to the left and higher returns on the road just next to the viewpoint "Na Boštu" (the viewpoint is from the marked path distant less than 5 minutes). Just below the road, where they cutted part of the forest, a view opens up towards Tržič, Dobrča, Begunjščica and Košuta. 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.
Shepherd hut on the mentioned mountain pasture we bypass on the left side and we continue on a marked path, which gently ascends on the upper edge of the mountain pasture. Here the path goes into the forest and ascends steeper for a short time, and then turns a little towards the left and gradually flattens. Only a little further, we come out of the forest, where we step on an ample mountain pasture Zgornja Konjščica.
