Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we go to the exit Podnart (Ljubelj), and then we continue driving on the road towards Ljubelj and Tržič. When "fast road" ends (blue sign), we will on the right side notice gas station, in front of which we turn right downwards towards Tržič. Further, we drive through Tržič, and we follow the narrower road towards the gorge Dovžanova soteska and then through the village Dolina and Jelendol to Medvodje, where we park on a marked parking lot by the nearby crossroad.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue on the right road in the direction of Storžič, Stegovnik and waterfall Stegovniški slap (left - Košutnik, Košutnikov turn and mountain pasture Dolga njiva on a marked path), and after few 10 strides, we continue straight (right - waterfall Stegovniški slap). The path ahead leads us on a macadam road which continues along Tržiška Bistrica, and when we get to a crossroad at the confluence of the rivers Tržiška Bistrica and Fevča, we continue on the right road which continues along the stream Fevča.
A short time we still continue on the road, and when the road crosses the stream and turns sharply right, we leave it and we continue on a cart track which continues along the stream. Few minutes we are ascending by the stream and then the cart track turns left on slopes of Konjski rob. Higher, on a less steep slope the cart track is vanishing, but with some effort, we can follow it. When we return into a dense forest, we join a little wider cart track and we follow it to the right, and there in few minutes we step on a macadam road which we follow to the left (to here possible also on the road).
Few steps ahead we get to a smaller crossroad, where we continue straight on a wider road (left - Konjski rob), which then crosses slopes towards the left. Next follows traversing of slopes of Veliki vrh, and from the road occasionally beautiful views opening up. When the road at the turning point by Tržiška Bistrica ends we continue slightly right and on a cart track we descend to a river, we cross it and then we continue the ascent on a steeper cart track. A little further at the crossing we go left, and at the next crossing slightly right on a more grassy cart track (left - mountain pasture Spodnja Dolga njiva), on which we quickly reach a marked path Jezersko - Planina Spodnja Dolga njiva. Next follows only a little bit of walking to an abandoned mountain pasture, which we can reach on a marked path or a cart track.
