Access to starting point:
We drive to Poljane nad Škofjo Loko, from where at the traffic-light intersection we continue in the direction of the settlement Javorje. When Poljane ends, the road leads us through Volča, and after the mentioned settlement, the road starts to ascend more steeply. Higher up, we also go through Dolenčice, and then we already arrive in Javorje, where we park on a parking lot near the branch primary school Javorje.
Path description:
From the parking lot, in front of which we find some basic information about the Javorje meteorite (the Javorje meteorite is the 3rd found meteorite on the territory of Slovenia), we continue past the primary school, and behind the school signs point us to the left. Next follows an ascent on an asphalt footpath, and a little higher we return to an asphalt road, which we follow to the left. On the road, from which beautiful views open up, we quickly arrive at a marked intersection from which we continue right in the direction of Škofja Loka, Stari vrh and sv. Brikcij (left Blegoš, Žetina and church of the Assumption of Mary).
A few tens of meters further, the road once again splits, and we continue sharply left (straight Četena Ravan and Koča na Starem vrhu). The path ahead ascends past a few houses, and behind them the asphalt ends and we continue first on a macadam road, later on a cart track. At the junctions, we follow the yellow-green blazes, and the path leads us for a few minutes through the forest. When the forest ends, we reach a smaller hamlet, and we continue right in the direction towards Podvrh. Next follows a shorter ascent, and then a wide cart track levels out and with nice views of Mladi vrh and Stari vrh we reach the village Podvrh, where we go sharply left. We continue on a macadam road, and at the smaller chapel we go once again left. Next follows crossing of a panoramic section, and then the road enters the forest and starts to ascend transversely.
Higher on a panoramic section, where there are several piles of sand, from the left also joins the path from the saddle Hlevišče, and we continue straight into the forest, where the path splits.
Slightly to the left continues the path Med gorami and the path to Koprivnik, and we continue right towards Mladi vrh. The path ahead leads us on a cart track, and at the junctions we follow the blazes; on the section where the forest temporarily ends, we join the path Blegoš - Stari vrh, where Knafelc blazes also appear.
We continue straight towards Mladi vrh and continue ascending through the forest. Higher, the path becomes steeper and brings us to the ridge, where we go right, and then in a few steps we reach the summit of Mladi vrh.
