Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we go to the exit Lipce, where we drive right towards Jesenice. In the settlement Slovenski Javornik, at the first crossroad with traffic lights we turn left towards the center of the town. In the seventh traffic light crossroad in a row we turn sharply right and drive only few 10 meters, whereupon we go left uphill towards the church on Murova. We park nearby.
Path description:
From the church, we continue left on the road which leads uphill among houses. We soon come to a crossroad, where we continue slightly right or straight uphill. Street (Kosova ulica) narrows and we go there all the way to its end past the last house on the left. After the small garden we step on a wide forest path which leads uphill towards the northwest. After only 15 minutes of walking from the starting point, we run into a small chapel, and behind it to a crossing. We choose right (left - Sp. Pejce) and we continue on a little narrower path through the forest, and through the clearing of the power line to the next crossing at the water catchment, where we join a wider path, which is coming from the left, or from Spodnje Pejce. We continue right uphill on a nice wide rocky path, on which they were once transporting ore, evidence of this are still visible traces (tracks). There in few minutes we get to another, bigger chapel which is situated right below Zgornje Pejce. By the chapel there are benches, where we can enjoy a rest.
The path after few meters turns right and by the fence on the left brings us to Zgornje Pejce. Here in the direction of straight we cross a grassy area, which is surrounded by a garden and orchard, and we step on the forest road. We continue right, but only few meters, to the top, or to the turn-off of the forest cart track on the left, on which we go. Quite quickly, when the cart track splits, we go right and we continue uphill through the forest on a winding cart track. Here we notice old blazes. Next follows a clearing, on the top of which a view opens up a little on Mežakla with Kisovec and Jerebikovec, and the mountains of Julian Alps. Immediately after this at the crossing we choose the left path, or straight (right above the red quarry). We still walk uphill along the old cart track on the right. When the forest gets a little thinner, we cross the cart track, we turn left, and we soon get to a forest road Prihodi - Križovec. We go right, where we quite quickly get to Skavarjev rovt. The road turns left and immediately after this also right. Here, at the right turn we get to a turn-off where the cart track branches off, which we ignore, stream and a smaller parking lot. Behind the latter we look for a footpath which in the forest turns right and it ascends. After a short time it turns left, and runs right next to a forest road, and then it also ends there. Only few 10 meters after this, when we again step on the road, on the left side of the right turn we notice a footpath which is ascending into the forest. After few meters, it joins a little wider path, on which we again walk only few meters. When on a tree we notice cutted: "Č. V." (Črni Vrh), we turn off from the path left, on at first a hardly noticeable cart track which later turns into an easy to follow marked path, which brings us on a forested ridge. There we are now for quite some time ascending in the direction of Sveti. When we come out of the forest, we notice a holiday cottage, which we bypass on the left side and then we return back right, on the forested ridge (edge). The path quite quickly brings us out of the forest, where by the edge of a meadow, we ascend few more 10 meters, past the linden tree on an open meadow. In the distance we notice a house, which stands near the ski cottage Črni vrh. We look for a cart track through a meadow, which past the mentioned house on the right brings us near the chairlift. Here we go right, and after few minutes walk we get to ski cottage Črni vrh, which is situated 50 meters right from the route of chairlift Španov vrh.
