Planina Storeča raven - Planinska koča Merjasec

Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we go to the exit Lesce and follow the road towards Bled and forward towards Bohinjska Bistrica and lake Bohinj. After the settlement Laški Rovt we will get to a smaller crossroad, where the road which leads towards the starting point of the path on Rodica, mountain pasture Suha, Šija, Vogel... and scout camp Laški Rovt branches off to the left. Macadam road immediately passes into the forest and at first ascend past the mentioned scout camp, and then it is few kilometers relatively steeply ascending. After a little less than 6.5 km of driving on a macadam, we will get to a little bigger crossroad, where we continue right (straight about 50 meters ahead a starting point of the path towards the mountain pasture Suha, Rodica, Šija...). Further, we drive on a little worse road which crosses few torrents and eventually brings us to the mountain pasture Storeča raven. On the other side of the mountain pasture, the road returns into the forest, after that only few 100 meters ahead brings us to the right turn in the middle of which cart track branches off to the left, by which we notice signs for Vogel (on a cart track leads a marked footpath on Vogel). We park about 20 meters ahead on an appropriate place by the road.
From the main road to the starting point, there is approximately 9 km of the macadam.

Path description:
From the road, we go on a cart track in the direction of Vogel, which at the beginning reminds on a little smaller torrent. After an initial gentle ascent, the path brings us on a clearing behind which cart track turns into a footpath which starts ascending steeply. The path ahead runs through a dense forest and is in some parts because of the fallen trees a little harder to follow. A little higher steepness suddenly decreases and then follows minute of walking on flat. The path ahead brings us to area, where was larger avalanche and broken many trees. When we get over this part, the path turns right below the steep slopes of Storeči vrh and again steeply ascends. Ahead steepness decreases and the path brings us on the edge of the ski slope. We cross a lane of stones and we come to triangular crossing, where we continue right in the direction of the cableway. Only a little further, we come on a wide cart track, where we continue left but only few meters. Soon blazes point us to the right on a footpath which in a gentle ascent quickly brings us to the upper station of the cable car.
Further, we continue past the hotel and only few meters ahead notice signs for mountain hut Merjasec. We go slightly left and in few steps we come to the mountain hut.
